Jackson Jambalaya

Where you at Gabriel? Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner with free parking and complimentary drinks will have this place full in no time!

There is one huge problem.....It's in Jackson.

"At closing, Buyer will be provided a case of chalk with which to outline bodies found in parking lot."

Yep- it’s a troubled property! Bad demographics!

Nice property in its prime. Just another very tired Jackson cultural milk cow now.

Many people lost millions of dollars betting big on that prime corner - branding it Ramada and now Hilton - only to pay too much for a property which can’t generate the necessary revenue. Once it sells for close to zero - only then can an operator maybe make it make sense.

This was my go to hotel when I had business in Jackson. I can't believe it's still a Hilton property. The quality severely diminished since Covid. Not to mention all of the bums who panhandle at the red light and find their way onto the property.

Soon to be an “American Inn and Suites” 😳

Wow! I remember when this was a nice hotel. Is there anything that survives Jackson?

It would make a great DATA CENTER.

We held a lot of large sales meetings and training sessions back when it was the Ramada Renaissance. Then to be followed by a short walk next door to 1001 for some social interaction (sigh).

You are aware that Prado is building a hotel / conference center next to Top Golf, right?

And this, my friends, is Jackson.

Confirmed as new Hotel O location.

What goes up, must come down
Spinning wheel got to go round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin' sin

I remember the barber shop in the lobby. Scott and Edsel were the barbers and the haircuts were cheap. The hotel was a grand showplace then.

I can see it now! Three sugary drinks, to loosen-up those blondes with bulging abdomens! (Hint to blondes who can't afford Rhinoplasty: avoiding carbs and alcohol, will trim that visceral fat a bit, and you won't look pregnant all the time, so those up-skirt views of you on fancy elevators, will be way more enticing).

The upper floors are absolutely fine, but the first floor has always had foundation problem. Someone thought it would be OK not to do proper soil preparation since the first floor wasn't carrying the load of the whole building. It was not OK.

Prado has a hotel just across 55, the old Drury Inn. It will be interesting to see if it survives.

Good grief! Have none of you studied economics? Cities go through declines as they age, but they also revitalize. Richmond and Atlanta and Raleigh and Houston and every other large city has the same cycle. And, you should all get out of your cocoon as it's already beginning again in Jackson. And, I'd remind y'all south Jackson and west Jackson have never been areas other than for low to low middle class areas. They weren't we moved here 50 years ago. And, suburbs suffer the curse of the highway for services that a small town can't deliver.

Future site for the newest King Edward experiment….
