It’s simple shut this place down effective immediately as well as the one downtown. These places are nothing but breeding grounds for criminals with too much alcohol in there system

Or the lack of same.

6:25 You are right & the Mayor should close them.

Should be “the former last call sports grill”. Isn’t it just a burned out shell?

Went there 20 years ago, used to be a decent place. Then thug customers started patronizing the business and it went downhill.

Is there a proper avenue to lodge complaints with the new mayor's administration? These kinds of establishments are not what helps build a healthy community even though they may generate tax revenue. The TASTE restaurant that took over the old Elite downtown is now blasting music on the sidewalk weekend nights...

"Is there a proper avenue to lodge complaints with the new mayor's administration?"

1. These and other problem venues in Jackson are black owned and frequented by black 'clubbers'.

2. The new mayor of Jackson is black and counts on black support to stay in office.

3. The mayor (and spouse) along with Howard Ballou (and spouse) were photographically featured dining out together a couple of days ago in the Belhaven District week. Perhaps Howard can work up some TV coverage on this problem and, with the mayor's assistance, perhaps the problem will go away.

Yea Jackson should replace it with a strip club

I’m extremely disappointed in the new mayor as he’s done very little to rid of these issues. Taste is a major problem and the music outside at night is non stop and has been brought up many times and still nothing is done. Mayor get on this!

I see the new location is working out well

Does nothing good ever come out of Jackson? The new mayor is just a rebrand of Chockway Lobamba!

@9:00

I think they reopened in the old Copeland’s location near County Line.

Jackson will be Jackson

@9:28 could say the same about The Bulldog on Ridgewood. Claim it closed due to Covid etc., but I saw it coming for same reasons you mention.

Prior to last year's election, I was shocked by the number of people who actually believed Horhn would be able (willing?) to make changes to Jackson. My belief was the only thing he would do would be to simply to slow the decline from Baby Chok's full-on race to the bottom. So far, I've been right. Hope he eventually proves me wrong......

Don’t forget to close down the M Bar while you’re at it!

You Horhn naysayers: GIVE THE MAN A MINUTE!
He is no Lumumba and nothing like him! He is having to undo the damage left in Chock's wake and doing all the things left undone.

I miss Gridley's

OK 4:03, the man's been in office for 9 months now (nearly 20% of his term), so if you would, please ask him to do at least ONE thing that's difference from baby chok so we'll know he's different. All I've seen so far is talk.....and even what he's said hasn't been particularly compelling.

4:03 you right, it takes time to change the color on those sissy looking JPD Police Cars. Need a look that say you mean business when needed. Get rid of those hospice looking cars.

You should carefully re-read his WLBT interview.

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.

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.
