When the nuns leave then you know it’s bad. Now you see how bad Jackson has become.

lol no, couldn’t pay me $150k to take it and have to deal with the crime, taxes, and upkeep.

That’s the old Alta Woods Presbyterian church. They sold it years ago. The Carmalite nuns are still next door

Wasn't Brother Malone once the pastor there?

More about how to get it re-zoned. 5 acres, right next to the Interstate, already has traffic lights to get in and out?

As residential or light commercial, probably not going anywhere. As light industrial, like a truck stop? Might work.

How far we have fallen. Selling churches.

No He was at Daniel Memorial until he went to Griffith Memorial Church down Terry Road. Byron was a Baptist minister.

Talking to a police officer after a upstanding youth of the Jackson area shot out our window and Southside Assembly church, he said the homeless have taken it over to smoke crack. So if you can imagine the quality building you will be getting with this purchase. Plus it had a really bad roof leak, so the inside is nice and ripe. Not exactly sure what led to the church's demise.

Does it include gun towers and a moat?

To add to my post. I really wish New Horizon church would either fix the old walmart/Big Lots or tear it down. The roof has caved in and trees are growing on top of it. Where is code enforcement. It is a very dangerous situation.

Finally! The perfect location for my dirty mop emporium! I can finally unload all these dirty mops I’ve been collecting from schools and prisons! I plan to capitalize on this popular fashion trend!

Does it come with the graveyard ?

This church was still in use up until a year ago. Should be in decent shape for a south Jackson congregation looking for a new building. I don't know about the afore-mentioned roof leak. The Carmelite Monastery is next door to the north and Alta Woods Methodist Church next door to the south. I live in this neighborhood, and have most of my life, and there is very little crime. My property taxes are less than $600/yr with a 3bd/2.5ba house on a fifth of an acre lot across the park. I don't know why but Alta Woods has managed to always be a pretty good neighborhood in south Jackson. The biggest problem right know is there are around five houses, some burned, that have been abandoned and their lots should be scraped. Otherwise its fine.

You must be getting the Senior discount on your property taxes. Right?

Jackson is in the shitter. Canton has fallen. Madison is on the precipice. Pearl and Clinton are teetering. Pelahatchie and Brandon are not even in the game.

And now this thread, with KingFish entering the auction bidness represents the fall of the empire.

Winona-north is the only game plan.

@1:10 you must be deaf. Place sounds like a shooting range and drag strip. We are having church on Sunday AM and Raymond road sounds like NHRA nationals is going on outside.

Came here to say that this may be the very time to invest in Jackson. by the time it's obvious, it's too late.

12:30PM, just remember what happened to Wayne Parish, the automobile repair shop owner who, when he defended himself against an attacker (as verified by camera footage). The trauma and legal fees, even though charges were EVENTUALLY dropped, surely ruined his life. And things have gotten worse in Jackson, since then.

You can't do business in a town where you aren't free to defend yourself or your business.

And 1:10, it sounds like Alta Woods needs a revolving fund, to quickly snap-up abandoned houses. Establishing a perimeter of contiguous fences (patrolled twice-daily) would be a great idea, too.

1:30 - No I don't, but I am looking forward to it.

2:07 - I never hear gunshots in the daytime and I am close enough to Raymond Road to hear any there. Occasionally, I hear them at night, but those are dumb*sses just firing their guns in the city off their front or back porch for no good reason.

Folks, there is no reason to lie and exaggerate about Jackson and its problems. Especially if you don't ever come here.

With all the crime surrounding these properties, all the Mayor has to do is call “cease fire” and the roaches will go back to their crevices.

The share of Christians in the USA has dropped at around 1% per year for the past decade to the point where 1/3 of the country no longer claims it as a religion, not even nominally—but sure, a church closing is a uniquely Jackson problem.

DIY gentrification starter kit. It’s got to start somewhere.

12:35 - Byron is still a minister. He is with Venture Church in Hattiesburg. Our boys played football together from 2nd grade on. He’s good people.

Good luck with that sale.

The Chinese will buy it. They know you can't replace land, idiots. They don't even have to go to war with us if we keep this up. Try to look beyond the next five minutes. 100s of years to them isn't long. If they don't win now, their country will win later with property ownership/development/income.

My grandfathers property was in a bad area of a city when he died in 1946. It was sold for millions in 1968.

Let them have it. China can pay the taxes too. Price gauge them just like the Japanese in the 1970s and 1980s.

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.

Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
