Jackson Jambalaya

Shame on scumlords Ted Orkin and Albert Spawn, Jr. for not terminating the lease.

Is their FU attitude any different than Gumflapper's?

Imagine a world where men 21+ have to be told they have to have their pants on to enter.

What a time to be alive.

I’m placing smart money that says Ditto will have that place shutdown by new years

If that was not a Black establishment, everyone would complain that the dress code is racist.

If that death was reported to their insurance company, then I would imagine they sent a 30 day notice of cancellation. If they tried to get new insurance, then they lied to whoever is writing it or are operating without insurance. There is no way this is going on legit. I hope the family of those killed go after them personally.

"...the blood will be on their hands." Seriously? NO, the blood is on the hands of the shooters!!!

Men 21+
Women 18+

WTF? They pimping them women or making a rap video? Most bars are 21+ for all.

Make suspenders great again!

Imagine what it will probably do to the cost of insurance at the newly renovated Mayflower, and perhaps that's the reason all along to run them off after all the work they've done.

After all, it's the Jackson way of doing bidness, right?

"Everyone must get searched and then go through a metal detector..."

Ah. So they are going for a country club type of vibe...but they forgot the rule about no spikes inside the club. That might lead to some confusion for the duffers.

9:48 l noticed that too. I didn’t know gender based age requirements were legal.

Men 21+
Women 18+
The law is flexible in Lumumbaville.

Orkin doesn’t care what the hell goes on there as long as the gentile’s pay him his rent.

So the ladies aren’t required to have a shirt on? Just men?

Still gonna have shootings and killings. Just a matter of time.

We need to get a willing young lad who is 18 to get refused entry and sue the shit out of them into bankruptcy. Isn't that how these community activist groups and the letter organizations do?

Just tossing this out there, but if the landlord attempts to toss them out, that would be one potential legal matter, but if the lease requires the renting entity to have certain insurance coverages, permits, licenses, etc., and those things aren't in place, that would be a different legal matter. Posting about a re-opening, actually re-opening, and remaining open are three different things. No reason for the landlord to risk even an unfounded accusation of breaching the lease if an undesirable tenant is or well on the way to being in breach. Merely unlocking the front door without certain things being in-place might be a material breach by the tenant. I doubt this was the first lease ever drafted by the landlord in question and clearly this isn't the first, um, pushing of legalities by the tenant in question.

"If they tried to get new insurance, then they lied to whoever is writing it or are operating without insurance."

To paraphrase Jack Ringwalt (and Warren Buffett), there is no risk too great, only a premium too little. There is an insurer for every risk. However, finding that insurer and paying the premium are two different things.

Chockwe's deep in this. Absolutely infuriating! You can't control a drive-by shooter! This place needs to GO!

To paraphrase Bessie Smith, "Check all your razors and your guns. We're going to be wrestling when the wagon comes..." (English standardized by me)

Thankfully I don’t frequent businesses that have signs that remind people they must wear shirts

Strange, but I’ve never had to go through a metal detector to have lunch at River Hills

Just so everyone is clear, are pants sagging *without* underwear showing acceptable?

For all of those who keep commenting about insurance - thanks to tort reform, the Mississippi GOP legislature killed off third-party criminal premises liability claims, back in 2019. So the property owners/insurance companies literally have incentive to enforce strict security standards.

Downtown residents and business owners were called racists when we complained about this bar opening on Capitol St. It has been a nuisance since day one. How many shootings have happened in and around this club? I can think of at least four.

I hope this works for the owner. I doubt the owner like having trouble at his club. The legal age to drink in MS is 21 unless the 18-19 yr. old is accompanied by a parent. This means , of course, that a young man or woman home on leave from the military who is 18-20 can't drink.

I'm surprised at the reaction since none you cared what happened at The Dutch Bar or Rodeo's back in the day. And, weren't there a couple of illegal bars in Rankin or is that just Mississippi myth?

Whether you guys like it or not, a female's brain is fully developed by 21-22 years of age while you guys have to wait until you are 30. We could raise the drinking age to age of brain maturity.

At any rate, women are smarter sooner starting at age 11.
Now these are averages. We do have humans that are smarter sooner. And, some of you never get smarter , you think you know it all by the time you are in the 5th grade.

I don't recall any mass shootings at The Dutch Bar or Rodeo's, 9:19. And as for your hope that "this works for the owner," that's not the sentiment of downtown residents and business owners, or most of the posters on this site.

9:19am: Fifth grade brains with illegal guns is a good description of bangers and hoods in Jackson's thug row. "Bangers and Hoods" could in fact be a new dish for the Mayflower apres bar scene.

remember back when that clown frank melton blamed every problem on babes cabaret? it only took the city 17 years and a six figure court judgement to figure that out.
