Jackson Jambalaya

If it's truly E. Northside, it's one of two places. I'm betting it's not McDade's

There are entirely too many unemployed vagrants in this country that have the freedom to spend our tax dollars at a Liquor Store at lunchtime on a Wednesday. That is the main problem here, amongst others.

One has been arrested.

#23 - Hot Shot Liquor Wine & Spirits, 1159 E. Northside Drive. WLBT status indicates "solved." Victim unidentified.

More perception of crime. Right?

At least our new chief looks the part with those four stars on both sides of her collar.

Is anyone really surprised - just look at the porch of the old Batte Furniture, Oyo hotel, boarded up former Waffle House and corners of Nside and 55 -

Were they arguing over the last bottle of Mad Dog 20/20?

Just a couple of hundred yards from Highland Village.

Just drove by and they are still open.

COJ probably needs a moratorium on liquor stores & pot stores.

When I was young I walked to Maywood Mart. I’m flying into the Jackson airport Friday but I think now I’ll avoid Jackson entirely

He was mad because the ABC hadn't delivered his favorite
cost cutter vodka since last year.

Saw this traveling by today. I was at the gas station across the street a couple of years ago when a young white man came in looking like he was part of Night of the Living Dead - jerking, convulsing, still approaching people. It was heartbreaking and scary at the same time.

To recap: There was a shooting yesterday. Anybody with information should speak up.

What? On, no. Was somebody disrespected again?

I read somewhere that the Batte building was going to be made into a flea market? A building behind it on McWillie was just demolished.

That gas station used to have phenomenal food but even that has gone to shit recently. The barbecue sandwiches are now wrapped in foil packages so that you don't know that there's only a single bite of meat until you've left the store.

News is reporting two people came in, argued, and one of them shot the other. If only there were a way to avoid the ferals in Jackson.

Think the deceased guy was a local panhandler ….he was known to people and while annoying he didn’t deserve to be shot….

Northeast Jackson, once the envy of the entire state, continues to ROT as its "culture" changes.

It sounds like Trump needs to bring the National Guard to Jackson.

So do some of you not understand what WEST of the Interstate on Northside Dr. means? That should embarrass you! Frankly, most of us understand what is or isn't actually the boundaries of the nicest neighborhoods in any Mississippi city or town including Jackson.
There is no city or many suburbs of any size in the U.S. that doesn't have residential vs commercial boundaries and places you don't go into alone after dark.
Again, our hospitals, colleges/universities and neither Eastover, LOHO or CCJ and their upper middle class residential areas aren't going anywhere. It's the convenience to a variety of supplies, goods, services and entertainment as well as private schools, churches and fine dining within a very short drive without ever fighting traffic on the Interstate. We even get delivery to our doorstep of not just groceries but of most anything if we are a long time, good customer which was especially wonderful during Covid.
You don't like encroachment? Strengthen the zoning and building codes. Indeed, in these large " new build" areas, I have friends who have had very unpleasant and very expensive surprises in their very large, expensive homes outside of Hinds Co.! Some " surprises" were beyond belief but hidden behind walls and under tile or roofing. Ex: studs should be properly dried wood that won't bend and are 12" apart. Trim should be only mitered in the corners and not cut and puttied around the door with left over pieces!

Paint guy say about trim: Caulk and paint make a carpenter what he ain't!

Also: Unless it's an engineered and stamped plan the studs probably won't be on 12 inch centers.

@ 10:35 - Who pissed in your shredded wheat and what the hell are you even attempting to say?

Meanwhile some thug assaulted and robbed a 78-year-old woman inside the Fondren Corner Market. That store has more feral humans - they don't know how to order food or use the checkouts. Between that and the wonky parking lot, I won't be shopping there again.

Anybody been to Flowood lately at night on a weekend? Judging by the Hinds County car tags, Jacksonians are definitely leaving Jackson for the surrounding areas -- and you really can't blame them. Buy land in Pisgah and Pelahatchie -- it'll be worth something soon as the white flight continues to expand east. Also -- if you're a city leader of a suburb around Jackson -- have some vision for your city and not let folks build new apartments -- in five years they'll be rotten with criminal activity.

Didn't take long for that little shopping center to be initiated into the Jackson way of life.
