Good move to stay in business.

You know a lot of the partners in HRBC live in NE Jackson 2 live on my street. The mayor and his moron miss chief of staff don’t care. The mayor is only a empty suit and phD Omari is a total clown show and an insult to accomplished women working
She and the mayor both feel entitled. I had the mayor cut in front of me at line a few months ago at broad street and he was on his blue tooth. People many Jackson residents were in line. We all spoke up and he gave us a nasty look and said he was in a hurry
Someone yelled your never working so why the hurry. He ended up leaving shaking his head as he walked out. Everyone was shocked he was so bold. It’s the entitlement mentality.

I can’t imagine why they are moving from the city of Jackson? I really did not know there were any viable businesses still in downtown Jackson.

As a long time Jackson resident who moved out of metro area, this is continually sad.

As the Capitol city goes, so does the State. Certainly, cannot blame the business.

It hasn’t been that long since they moved from the old DG building to the newer one. Kudos to them for at least trying. Even CPAs need water I suppose.

I guess they had one to many auto break ins.

Good for them. Any business still in Jxn deserves whatever happens to it

multiple gas leak calls this morning in Gluckstadt led to Centerpoint telling residents a City of Jackson landfill is the cause of the stench

Welcome to drinkable water, lower crime, and easier commuting!

As a plus their new digs don't require bullet resistant glass and they can reduce their ammo supply and they won't need a gun tower nor bottled water.

Kingfish,

Why don't you ever tell about companies moving into Jackson or starting up here. The Northside Sun had a story about the $22M of new business in Belhaven. You certainly give a lot of fodder for your readership, but how about telling both sides.

Also, maybe do a post about why there is available space in the Butler Snow building? Or the surrounding mall?

Thanks.

@856. If you knew how badly Centerpoint Mississippi was managed, you’d know you are not to far from the truth. Give it another 5 years and they will be replacing 4” mains with plastic straws. Imo as a former employee

Anonymous said...

Attn 9:07 maybe Belhaven would be a viable location if the community didn’t have the highest tax rates in the state.

8:13 AM Good post. I know you have posted this anecdote before. The last time you said the Mayor "sneared." That adjective evokes a clear image of what happened.

"Its our turn now." -- Unknown

It’s not an easier commute as many HRBC partners and workers do live in Jackson. However the office space is newer and yes water is nice to have access to.

8:13 AM, Why didn't anyone stop him from cutting into the line. The least the people should have done is simply leave the things they were going to buy setting there and walk out. Let the business take care of him and loose the rest of the customers.

Anonymous said...

@9:07 - perhaps you can share with us your list. Has there been one? I suppose you could sort of count Richard's.

The 'burbs seem to be doing fine. I'd say the suburbs are keeping the "city" afloat. Not the other way around. Though I wish everything was thriving.

The Mair deserves to be run out on a rail.

9:07 Elvie’s, Fertile Ground Brewery, the donut shop, 3-4 new structures for a food court, and the mixed commercial-residential building on the corner. It’s a great little development that I’m very much starting to worry about.

Never heard of them

I’ve seen the mayor strutting into places before. He walks like he is owed a great amount of respect. His behavior Is that of a spoiled child.

No legal business will last over a year in Jackson.

"As the Capitol city goes, so does the State."

Clever, but still bullshit. Jackson has been rapidly going to hell for almost thirty years. Meanwhile, many areas of this state are doing quite well, growing, increasing businesses, producing new rooftops, increasing the tax base, improving economically, welcoming new residents and industry......

Your clever little saying is, let me say again...bullshit.

If Ridgeland is good enough for Omari, it is good enough for Jackson's businesses.

11:47. "Rapidly going to Hell for almost 30 years". Brilliant statement!

you know why some people become morticians? They have too much personality to be CPAs

Smart move by HREB. If you're a college grad, would you want to work in downtown Jackson or on Highland Colony? Whose next to leave?

Anonymous said...

For the life of me I don’t understand how some feel glee when Jackson has issues (with crime, water etc) or when a business relocates to Ridgeland. I live and work in Ridgeland and am pleased that it is, for now, safe and viable. But I grew up in a Jackson that was just as viable, if not more so. Yes, I chose to live and work in Ridgeland but I still want what a healthy Jackson has to offer (the church I attend, excellent restaurants, safety from crime for my extended family). This is not an “either-or” proposition. We can have the best for both with sound leadership.

Wow! What some people will do to obtain drinking water and not be robbed and shot at.

@2:44
It is a simple answer actually. It’s the same crowd who want the confederate flag on the state flag. They want to see Jackson fail because they believe it proves that African-Americans are somehow inferior. Kingfish makes his living by filling their ignorant echo chamber with reinforcement. Of course, he keeps his dog whistles thinly-veiled enough to eschew deplatforming.

Kingfish said...

oh really? What facts do I get wrong? I'm reporting the same things reported at WLBT, WAPT, WJTV, and the Clarion Ledger and at times beating them to it. What am I getting wrong? Come on, girlfriend, you can do it.

KF, you're the "Beth Dutton" of Jackson! Keep up the great work! Thank you!

For the record I don't feel glee when Jackson has issues. But Jackson "having issues" is a non-stop thing and has been going for 30 or more years. I know that if Jackson were to turn around not only would it make the city a more attractive place to live it would lift everyone who owns a house whether they sell to someone who fixes it up. Like what happened in Laurel. It would be a boon to them. Then they can move out of poverty.

Not only that but it would make the burbs more attractive and home values would go up there as well.

This is you seeing racists that aren't there in shadows. Criticism isn't some code word for racist.

Anonymous said...

Damn, sure am glad to hear from all these demographic experts commenting here about the death of Jackson and that there are no businesses still located in the city.

I'm sure that the southbound lanes of I55 from the north; the northbound lanes of I55 from the south, Lakeland drive, and Hwy 49 north will now be free of traffic during the morning hours. And, of course, the reverse in the afternoon. Will make my travel on those roads much easier without having the bumper to bumper traffic that has been coming into Jackson every day of my life, even last week. Glad to know it has now stopped - will check it out in the morning to see how much better travel will be.

Anonymous said...

Why is there so much available space in the BSOSC building? It's filling up with accounting firms, etc. Is there a shortage of lawsuits to defend and clients to gouge?

Anonymous said...

The traffic headed toward Jackson are citizens who work for the State of Mississippi (including UMMC)

Anonymous said...

That’s two lists I want to see, the list showing all the new business locating to Jackson and then the list showing all the business locating to Mississippi now that the state flag doesn’t have a Confederate emblem on it anymore.

Anonymous said...

Clients, go find a smaller accounting shop with lower overhead and 98% of the same services. No need for you to continue to pay higher fees so a firm can redecorate for yet another office relocation.

Avoid Driving in Jackson at Night said...

@ 3:33 - Your repetitive 'dog whistle' comments have become really boring. Even a racist such as yourself can come up with something new on occasion.

@ 6:38 - 70% of the traffic you're seeing is representative of the medical field. The rest are passing through since there's no by-pass. When the legislature dumps C.O.N. you'll eventually notice a marked difference in your morning commute.

"Why don't you ever tell about companies moving into Jackson or starting up here." @ 9:07 - I'm not alone in waiting for your list.

Anonymous said...

Hey there @ 3:33
I see your point ... And yet you come here day after day and read post after post.

EFGAlterEgo said...

1:00 AM
Both lists will be extremely short. Especially the second list. No business would be relocating here because of "confederate emblems". But it's a good democrat talking point.

Anonymous said...

3:33 is what's wrong with the world. Not the imaginary racists.

Wlbt report of Shad supporting Fathers actively involved in kids lives today and immediately cut to some African American lady to let us all that the feral thugs are not a result of broken homes, but systemic racism.

So 2:44, while I don't revel in Jackson's plight...It does piss me off that in the name of forced equality based largely on skin tone and minority contracts(over skills and talent) people are aghast that it did not produce a thriving metropolis?

Some of us warned, and just like Shad, we were called racist and ironically our white voices were silenced. We watched a city we loved sacrificed on the alter of Social Justice and we are upset. We don't care what tone of complexion is leading so long as they have an IQ greater than a brick.

Actually a brick would do less damage than your current selections.

6:53 - there is space because the former tenant of those floors built a new building and moved across the interstate

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.

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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
