Jackson Jambalaya

Those traffic barrels will still be there after Christmas.

chockwe it and put a barrel over it for the next year...

Why does the cover sit there like a catapult?

5:49pm
"Why does (steel plate) cover sit there like a catapult?"
Indeed, I thought of a wheel getting wedged down between edge of plate and edge of hole.
Perhaps a trap for careless Old Canton racers.

A Sinkhole on Old Canton and a Stinkhole in City Hall.

And people still make excuses for staying in Jackson.

I have no sympathy for amy that remain.

Does it have it's own zip code? It's just a perception of a sink hole, right? Can't see it from Atlanta nor from Chowke's gated compound.

there is a bike race in france called the paris- roubaix
its usually run in april
portions of the course are run over these old cobblestone roads built by the romans over 1000 years ago
those cobblestone roads don't look as bad as what you see in jackson
as usual......dont take my word for it.......watch a re-run of paris roubaix on you-tube and see for yourself

Looks like they’ve already forgotten what happened to that poor girl over on Ridgewood a few years back. You just really can’t fix stupid.

5:49, because they are fricken morons. They (the city) already killed one young JA student due their incompetence, and you can't fix stupid.

Damn. Now I'll be awake all night with worry that some fugitive fleeing Rankin will come to harm in that awful sinkhole.

Y’all are missing the issue or just want to blame Jackson, but the hole is caused by Atmos Entergy.

If Atmos is liable, I have no doubt the problem will be fixed post haste. They're a responsible entity. Look for the problem to be resolved by the end of today (Thursday).

Should have fixed it on the 27th.

What about the bridge on Colonial Circle? Out for over a year now, and likely two Sanderson Farms golf tournaments. smh

Hopefully, they'll take the time to figure out what's causing the material to sink, and where it's gone to. Otherwise, just filling the hole is a temporary fix.

Honestly, it makes sense if Atmos is indeed the cause of the hole.

If the city was on the hook, they likely would not even bother with any crude attempt at driver safety.

Surprised Morgan & Morgan has not set up a branch office on the sidewalk yet.

Didn't Old Canton get repaved a year or two ago?

Really? Atmos? And not the deteriorating water lines? You know the universal solvent that when left alone will create the Grand Canyon?

"And people still make excuses for staying in Jackson.

Same here.

Some of the streets that used to be paved are now, at the best, gravel roads. Everything resembling pavement has disappeared. When school buses, fire trucks, and even the wreckers who come to pull people out of the pot holes, get stuck on the streets of Jackson you get the real feeling of living in a foreign country, a third world one.

If this was a gas erosion they would have to shut down the street, evacuate the area, and immediately fix it as an emergency. Natural gas can leak out of a pipe but rarely cause erosion like this -- running water (a liquid) does. Gas would find a small crack in the surface, rise up, and disappate. I personally have never heard of a gas line causing sinkholes -- usually the holes come from excavating and having a line cut in the process. My friends, this is not a gas sinkhole, this is a water-caused sinkhole -- and it is the city's problem.

The guy in the wheel chair that rides the streets around town really needs to stay away from this hole. We will never see him again.

potholes
bulletholes
sinkholes
blackholes

it’s all so tiresome

"Those traffic barrels will still be there after Christmas." Sorry, you left out the year.
