Jackson Jambalaya

This should be fun. I'm bringing popcorn.

8- 10 mil is hilarious, like anyone will believe that.

What is the point of the town hall? The construction is already underway, it's not like it's a public hearing on whether to approve the work or not. Is this just for people to bitch?

If they were even a little bit knowledgeable about common business practice or actual construction projects, they would never have a 2 million $ gap in the projected costs. It might cost them $50,000 to move in a portable building, hang some string lights, and pay someone to steal some coolers. The rest of the money they borrow will go to Enterprise Rental Car for the little hoes, on the weekend.

What a sham. These guys are like coloring book characters. Mumba and Bradley think they’re ganstas.

Is this some kind of con game for no one is really going to do this. No way to pay for some thing like this in Jackson.

the current mayor acts just like the people his father loathed.

Good grief, what a nightmare this development is going to be! It doesn't make any sense on any level. Seriously, other than a rendering plant or a paper mill, what could you build adjacent to a residential area that would keep residents more pissed off than they're going to stay? This almost certainly has to be in violation of one or more zoning ordinances.

Baby Chok has GOT to have the intention of running as much of the taxpaying population as he can out of Jackson. There's really no other explanation for how he has his administration "operating" the city.

I agree with 5:25 with one additional observation:

There is no f--g way any entertainment venue in Jackson MS can service the debt on 8-10 million dollars. Much less, cover all of the additional overhead with a project of this type.

Got to be some subordinated money or outright government bullshit for this thing to happen. Which considering the players is entirely possible.

How many spies does baby chowke have in the audience?

Meeting shouldn’t be necessary. Those bone heads at M-Bar should know better. Too much noise, too close to too many residential areas.

Beer and chips at the forum!

@6:32.....laundry money!

This is terrible on so many levels. Chok himself is probably invested in it with all that Siemens money. But on the other hand, NE Jax let a whole election cycle go by and didn’t run anybody viable against him. After Speed died, there seems to be no leadership there anymore. What a shame. On top of that, they let the Col Sanders looking guy continue to “represent”them basically as a seat filler.

Back in the day we would suspect the M(urder)-Bar as being a money laundering operation.

You get the government you deserve.

It will be a lot easier to mae the nut on 8 to 10 million if the loan is a long term zero coupon municipal bond!

They'll be long gone before the rent is due!

This is hilarious. A whole slough of moronic posers. All of these cartoon characters went to City Gear down by Metrocenter and got new suits for the photo. Granted $8,000,000 isn’t what it used to be, but these clowns probably couldn’t shovel together $400 cash between them. A glass bottle Coke and Snickers says this doesn’t last more than 24 more months. Each boot in the picture is a fraud and couldn’t pass the GED test.

@8:59 pm and our current competent government on each level is exactly what we deserve.

Wait, now I gotta get Instagram?

Have a feeling that MBar will be cleanest place in the city and the new hangout for Richard's Disposal's proposed Jackson team.

8:42PM
Back in the day...
Back in the day...
There you go with that back in the day shit. Smh.
There ain’t no back in the day.

This is 'our' amphitheater

@6:32 pM
You sound jealous. You sound like you hate to see the black man get over on the white man’s system. You want to see the white man’s system continue to get over on the black man, don’t you my “brother.”
You want it to be one way...

Agree with 8AM. Won't be following JJ to Instagram.

It’s not about black and white man. It’s about doing things the right way. This won’t last.

Then don't and quit your bitching. I was nice enough to go spend several hours streaming it LIVE so you people could watch it LIVE.

Now, if I want to stream it live, I have to use either Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, or possibly Twitter. All social media platforms. But that fact probably escaped your notice because you would rather bitch because you're living in a bunker in Braxton.

So if you want to watch events live streamed, this is how it has to be for now.

9:57 AM
The definition of pure comedy: Kingfish thinking anyone watches or reads his posts.

I do 10:14am.

I might wager a small lump sum that you rather obviously do too.

No KF, it didn't escape my notice (and I'm not a previous comment on this subject) but I'm not going to add an additional social media platform; in fact, I'm trying to reduce my use of multiple platforms.

Over the years, I have watched many videos you have posted on Youtube, and watch other issues posted there including the MS Senate and House.

But if 'this is how it has to be for now' - which is certainly your choice, for me the 'how it is going to be now' is that I will reduce my clicks on your site. Figure that probably won't hurt you too much, and it won't bother me too much to save a few minutes per day of following. I'm fine with that, and hopefully your advertisers will be as well.

How can this be described as an amphitheater when it is nothing more than treated posts with a slanted metal roof covering picnic tables? The drawing looks like a covered play ground and that's it.

I agree 11:20.

Apparently McB's also has an amphitheater.

@10:49 AM
“Might.”

"There is no f--g way any entertainment venue in Jackson MS can service the debt on 8-10 million dollars. Much less, cover all of the additional overhead with a project of this type.

This right here. 100%. Close comments.

KF, in case this is of benefit to any others: I went to the IG page and found the videos of the meeting. However, I was unable to find a way to incorporate the audio. Video is fine, but no audio. I can get audio on other videos on your page, but not on the two from last night. Ironically, I've found that audio is not available on many conservative-leaning videos on IG, but not once has it been a problem with the left-leaning ones.

Any suggestions on how to get audio along with the videos?

$8-10 million? Ha! I watched the first season of Ozark. I see what’s happening here.

Tried it on Firefox, chrome, and safari. No problems.

I should add that on safari, could not hear the sound at first. Found the sound icon on the video and sure enough, it was off.

As we watch the "actions" of our current mayor, remember that he comes by his "reasoning" honestly. He grew up his whole life being indoctrinated by this kind of thinking:

Your about to spend $8,000,000 on a project and you pay $7.37 for Mickey Mouse drawings of a metal building with the highlight being two Cornhole boards. And, you send your mom to represent you, at a meeting, designed to discuss the project. Typical Democrat shenanigans. Do they really expect anyone to take them serious? I’d like to have one of those shiny shovels. The hard hats came from Bob the Builder kits on Amazon.

How much of the $8-10 million is in TIF?

Like I penned earlier, this is money laundering.

Meh, it's pretty much one unemployed Karen who doesn't like rap. He's been running a full on media campaign against this thing and getting people all riled up, but have you seen the drawings? It's like ten picnic tables and a two foot riser surrounded by a privacy fence. It's a glorified porch.

Ridin' dirty.

It is the Jackson way.

Y’all see Ricky’s social plug? He is the womens’s basketball coach. Fuckin dumbass is what he is.

How long before Kingfish will be paying for a weekly column by the owner of the M-Bar? Lord...there's Salter, Crawford, St. John, Gardner, Berger....why not the M-Bar owner? What could possibly take the blog further south?
