Jackson Jambalaya

I guess that means Highland Colony Parkway is 20 years away from becoming the next County Line Road. Crazy in my life time to see a prominent road like that become what it is now. This place is crazy.

Interesting in typical WLBT liberal fashion, they addressed the who, what, where, when but not why.

A culture of not paying and implementing a 5 fingered discount is the cause of this.

fear not though! Jackson has a need for more stores selling press on nails and locks of horse hair in a myriad of colors! I am certain that some entrepreneurial purveyors of exotic animal shorn hair extensions will find use of this newly available retail space!

Local LE needs to beef up now.

Mayor Horhn better stop worrying about water rates that are thankfully out of his control and the Zoo nobody attends and get his rear end working on business development.

Crime, schools, and infrastructure. Those are the 3 major issues in every city/town. Fix those and everything else takes care of itself. Residential, commercial, etc. all go where the people want to be. And the people look at crimes, schools, and infrastructure.

Please also report that Sermon Sandwich Bar opened in Fondren, right down from Louise's Piano Bar that just opened next to Walker's, and at the District, Emerson's Provisions and Little Effie's opened (Masa Mesa coming soon), and La Presa just opened at Highland Village. It is not all bad news in Jxn... Arby's is garbage anyway!

Dang thats bad when cats and dogs are leaving Jackson! Next will be rats and roaches.

As long as crime goes unchecked in those areas, along with a weak judicial system in Hinds County (thanks, judges), businesses will continue to flee.

Why didn't they move to Fondren? (Sorry, one of my gifts is sarcasm.)

Of course, we have know for a while Porsche was moving out of Jackson.

Heard today The Bulldog closed.

it will be a real shame to see what that strip mall development does to the parkway and that area over 7 to 10 years.

I think, if I was a developer, I would get all owners engaged from the old Academy/Toys R US section, Ridgewood Court, up to county line, and I would repurpose that property to bring back up scale shopping. that would also require the city to actually patrol and engage crime prevention.......

If the city of Ridgeland want to be the strip mall capital of the world, then let them

Arby's does not use lard in any of its processes or offerings.

That Pet Smart had gotten sad. It was impossible to get checked out in an efficient fashion and with no self check out, it was way too much trouble to buy anything there.

Had we had John Horhn rather than Chockwe in office last term, this might not have happened. Businesses can only take so much. They prefer Rankin and Madison counties.

Apparently the Bulldog on Ridgewood also closed.

Who is surprised by any of this?

The shoplifting and carjacking will continue to move farther northward just in time for the holiday season.

Chowke is the runner up U-Haul salesman of the year behind Mamdani and Newsom.

Arby’s will be replaced I bet but other 2 won’t

If yall can’t handle Jackson at her worst then you don’t deserve her at her best. Yall must not know. We can find another you in a minute. Matter fact they’ll be here any minute. Don’t yall for a second get to thankin yall irreplaceable

That Arby’s was the absolute worst. They were always out of food. How did they manage to always run out of sandwich meat?

Can you blame them ?

Jackson is the Mississippi version of Detroit

CRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only Arby's is a recent announcement. The others were known/expected a while back when they announced their plan to open down the road in Ridgeland. --

The Ridgewood Court shopping center is slowly emptying. Urban Air has to be wondering why they located there.

Yes, but up here they die of lead poisoning.

That Arby's has been going down for years. Never as busy as everything else around it at lunchtime - never even close. As a previous poster said, something else will go in there.
