Baby Chowke can market it as a tourist attraction, right?

That's a lot of raw boo boo.

No money to fix these leaks because Jackistan is spending a king's ransom on law suits/lawyers, right?

fed up in Jackson said...

There used to be a Red Lobster right there.

Is there any constructive purpose behind getting on here and posting every time a line breaks (but only if it’s in Jackson)?

Seriously, I’m wondering on what planet could this possibly be helpful to anyone?

@11:04
I just moved to Flowood from Pearl after living there for the last 3 years. We had about 2 breaks a year in the neighborhoods between Pearson and Airport Road. The breaks are always fixed within 48 hours and the ground closed up and sod is laid within 72 hours. Rain or shine, hot or cold, weekends or holidays. They would always get it done. And I noticed that it was the same group of City of Pearl workers neck-deep in muck, busting their asses for the residents of the city. A totally different culture than the City of Jackson.

Dr. Charles will fix it. Oops…..not any more. What shall we do?

@1104, actually, no. And FYI, KF doesn't post on this site every time a waterline breaks in Jackson. If ge did, there would often times be multiple posts a day.

It appears to this reader that he only posts these pictures when they are the spectacular high pressure fountains created, generally in a populated business area. And, along his beaten track.

Happy now?

@11:04 AM - We get our jollies irritating you, snowflake. Maybe it's because this is the only news outlet that keeps us informed.

KF, stay the course.

Constructive purpose to remind Jacksonians and Jackson voters about the rank incompetence of the Lumumba administration.

You're welcome.

Nobody is forcing you to visit this site or reply

Yes, the purpose is to get involved and active in your local communities and politics before it is too late and you begin seeing these issues or worse in your community (and Kingfish’s grandchildren will be posting it)

This is just the reenactment of the 1979 Easter Flood, promised by the Mayor.

when did the deference of maintenance start? duct tape can only hold for so many years then this happens.

i live in clinton work in jackson. we had a main break in clinton. fixed in a few days. made a traffic problem but people were thankful work was being done.

I call this accountability.

Meanwhile Lord Mayor himself is only worried about his garbage contract. It’s pathetic really. Good thing he is in government as he could never earn a paycheck for himself if he had too.

Water line break on neighbor's property but on utility side of meter. Bear Creek drove back to their yard after completing the repair less than 3 hours after my neighbor called them to report the problem. They also bill for services and collect remittances like clockwork each and every month.

It's only the PERCEPTION of a broken water main, right?

It’s waste management’s fault

Meanwhile the Emperor wants to waste ARPA dollars on Farish Street, $700,000 for Rukia's crime prevention skim, er, siphon, and other non-infrastructure related spends. THEN he and his cult got pushed out of shape when the Legislature didn't bestow greater than a 1:1 match ratio for Jackson infrastructure.

Been eating at Red Lobster (way back after college football games) for decades and don't remember one every being there.

I always wondered what the hell ISH is supposed to mean, though.

He's trying not to have to use the same buddies as project managers for a fifth time. There are only 40 men (aka buds) on the list and most have been appointed ($5000 per month) for a fourth time, already.

Back in the early 90s, we had to stay at the hotel when coming down for National Guard Drill. It was rough even back then.

That was a Pizza Hut, wasn’t it?

The local TV stations are reporting about the water main break too because it affects area businesses with a loss of water pressure, disrupts traffic, etc. It's a legitimate news story.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
