Gabriel Prado took that eyesore of a gas station on Briarwood Drive by the frontage road and is turning it into something a little bit more nice. Don Gabriel will open in the next few weeks.

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.

He has money to burn, good luck!
The hero we need. Thank you, Don Gabriel.
Well wishes for the all the employees safety there.
That's a positive.
Looks good… glad to see this. It will be hard to compete with the new quick trip just one exit up.
Blog is turning in to Prado Jambalaya.
@10:36 Different merchandise and products than QT ;)
You can fancy up the store all you want, but you can't fancy up the clientele- sorry to say.
QT only good for 1st month then goes to turd - Pearl didn't have working pumps or coffee about 2 weeks ago.
I live in NE Jxn and their store on Northside is my go to now. It’s a great store.
Still hard to believe the Clinton Alderlady ran him off.
LOST = when your city gets excited about a new convenience store opening up at the same time every restaurant within a mile has closed down.
March 25, 2024 at 11:26 AM, don't tell anybody, but this blog is a dog whistle to call up folks like you. See how well it works?
You'd be a damned fool to turn your vehicle into any business establishment on either side of the interstate for the several mile stretch of Jackson city limits.
I don't care if gas there is 16 cents a gallon and Red Bull is free, still...
@1:55 or when the city gets excited about a store with fully enclosed security glass checkout with a huge iron locking door. Here’s your sign. Wonder why the other city’s gas stations have open counter stores?
Well said, 2:20.
Enjoy your treeless suburbs and thanks for reading our blog about our city.
Good!
A gamble but good luck
3:44 said it for me.
@1:55 -- Mr. Chen's, one of the best Chinese restaurants one can find in the state, is not only open but has gone through a major remodeling and expansion. Across the interstate, less than a quarter mile away.
Scrooges - less than a half mile away, is doing booming business. IHOP (if you consider that a restaurant) across the interstate. Olive Garden at County Line is busy any time you enter.
Moes Southwestern Grill, Crazy Cat Eat Up, Hickory Pit --- all within your established ONE MILE distance --- blowing and going.
I'm sure there are others, just don't want to take the time to pull them out of memory.
You can denigerate the area all you want, but next time at least try to get your facts together, or correct - whichever you prefer. Expand to two miles, rather than your one mile limit, and you can add several more restaurants without having to cross the vaunted County Line. (Char, Apolos, Broad Street, Logan's, Drago's, Olive Garden)
"More nice"? Hotty toddy!!!
Gabe and his brother are good guys. Best of luck!

Prado for Mayor.
You will not be robbed or assaulted IF you:
1) Dress and act like you just got off your two-hour shift working the corner of Lakeland and 55 @ St. Dominic.
2) Carry a cardboard sign for extra safety.
