Jackson Jambalaya

It’s safe to say, future crime will see a decrease in the area

It’s amazing how many fires there are in Jackson. Kinda makes you think a lot of these fires may be human influenced.

As a NE Jackson resident about 1 mile away from this building I can say that I am thrilled. Ok now let’s talk Oxford and ole miss!!! Go Rebs! HYDR

Them damn insurance wires will do it every time.

Can you say insurance?

When the bank notes rub together and cause a friction fire that the receipts can't put it out.

Urban renewal.

future crime may decrease, but there will be no decrease in the number of burned out shells of structures that will still be there 5 years from now. Yep, just set the over/under on how long the charred remains will sit there

Beautiful....another burned out structure in the city of Jackson that we'll have to look at for the next 3-5 years.

The Dope Boys will have to find another location, right?

They are closed Mondays. Seems likely that some residentially challenged in the area may have wished to escape the sub freezing temps last night. Easy access to their patio.
Anyone who thinks this place has a problem with receipts is dead wrong.

Who did they piss off that came back and torched the place?

Sad to see someone’s business get destroyed. Hope everyone is ok. (Remember when we said such things and meant it?)

They pissed off everyone in this area. Especially LE foundation. I’m glad no one was injured but I’m also glad it’s gone!

RIP Former Old Venice

"The hottest spot in Jackson just got hotter"

Was that the old Gridley’s?

I55 North Frontage and adjacent environs take on the look of HWY 80 more with each passing day.

Especially LE foundation.

Toothless organization. Tell us exactly what they accomplish?

Last call for alcohol-last chance for romance.

All that frying oil and alcohol fueled a hot and fast fire. I'm glad no one was injured and the fire was limited to the one building.

There shouldn't be any bars anyway.

Good riddance! All of NE Jackson rejoices!

This is what happens when you don't regularly clean the grease filters in the ventilation hoods.

Oh sure they did. They did the cleaning. Then, per Lumumba, they dumped it all down the sewer line.

that's one way to lean a nasty azzzz kitchen

Residentially challenged.....get real. Nothing but a bunch of junkies hanging out under the bridge looking for sympathy. I see Locke Ward's group has finally given up even trying to pick up their trash. They truly gave it an honest try, but these people don't care.

That trashy, dressed up joint downtown done took all the customers, so BURN BABY BURN.

@9:12am True, but honestly good riddance. Bunch of shitty buildings that should have never been thrown up. Hopefully 55 north of Northside becomes very cheap real estate for redevelopment. Canton Mart, Highland Village, Banner Hall are doing good and are very enjoyable.

I guess since Lane torched your program, this is relevant under this post.

Spoke to Locke recently and he said his group cleaned it up last week.

God bless Locke and his crew then. They have a softer spot in their hearts than I do.

"Canton Mart, Highland Village, Banner Hall are doing good and are very enjoyable."

I'm not sure you can call getting your vehicle broken into or stolen is good and very enjoyable. Happens very frequent at those locations.

"The roof.. the roof... the roof is on fire!!! We don't need no water!..."

That used to be such a nice area: Thai House 2.0, Cherokee 2.0, Mori's, etc. Then vagrants and block parties took over...

@10:33am I don’t know what you’re smoking. The area is pretty much spotless right now because of Locke and company. They aren’t camping or hanging out under Northside or Canton Mart anymore either. Some people just love to talk and say negative (and wrong) shit.

Please shut up.

@10:33am you just can’t help but be a negative bitch huh? Why drag down a good thing? You should be ashamed.

@ 11:26
It doesn’t happen frequently at those locations. Last yr Christmas week my Cherokee jeep was broken into at Barnes and noble in ridgeland though.

Will the vagrants be allowed to come back and junk it up again? Why does the City not have the desire to send these folks on their way? Madison doesn't tolerate it. Flowood doesn't. Brandon doesn't. Why does Jackson?

Christmas came early for NE Jackson!

I wonder if they had gas heaters on the patio and if some of the local homeless citizens tried to partake. (No, I will not use "unhoused" or "residentially challenged")

Where should they send them to?

@11:26 Baloney. It used to happen but no longer (Cap PD). And I drive a Ford F-150 to these places.

@12:09 & 12:06 I drive by that spot daily on the way from the gym. Admittedly, I did not go to the gym yesterday so I may have missed their recent progress. However, for the past several months the place has been a disaster. It's not anybody's job to pick up behind vagrants, but I gave the man a thank you. I've been out there with him picking up the trash on multiple occasions and decided it's not worth my time to deal with ingrate junkies. Have you? KMA

They could send them to Chicago, San Francisco, Minnesota or any other big blue city. Jackson has options.
