And then listed places that are not new. There have been robberies and beatings in the McDade's parking lot. Who wants to choose that as a destination eatery?<br /><br />And to that stupid son of a bitch who posted some nonsense about laughing at a mother who loses a child to a drunk driver, My God, get a grip. Either lay off the meds or cut them in half. That's outrageous, even for you air-headed lofters and restaurant workers. <br /><br />The fact remains that there have been either shootings, robbings, beatings or killings or a combination of those within a quarter mile of every place you goobs mentioned, within the past two years, on multiple occasions. A dozen wings to go, please, and hurry it up.

The Manship is not decades old. It's not even close. It's new to the tune of a couple of years. The roach infested Mexican restaurant you speak of, La Cazeula's, is not a personal favorite, but it must be for others because it stays busy. There is also the new Picante's by the newish Wing Stop at Fortification and State. I recommend both. 1908 and The Library in the Fairview are also new, and recommended. I'm really surprised you haven't heard of Lou's. That's strange. Not on the part of Lou's, but you. If you haven't checked out Lou's, and you think The Manship is decades old, and you haven't heard of 1908 or The Library, I really don't know what to say except that your very strong opinion is based on a gaping lack of knowledge of the area. P.S. Try out Pizza Shack is its newer location on Fortification.

The 'Mexican Restaurant' on Fortification is an inauthentic roach palace that's at least ten years old, perhaps fifteen. Manship is decades old. Keifers, the same. You said NEW places. Oh, but you did list Lou's, which I've never heard of, so I guess Lou's starts and completes your list. Are you sure somebody hasn't got a 'new' bar-b-que smoker on wheels on one of the corners, somewhere?<br /><br />Then there's New Stage Theatre, serving snacks at intermission while cars are being jacked outside.

Manship and Lou's ... Of course,...KFC Regular<br /><br /> Manship and Lou's ... Of course, Keifer's ,in their new, larger building and the restaurant in the Fairview, 1908, are doing well. I understand there's also a few other food places inside the new medical buildings but I've not visited those. The Mexican restaurant on Fortification is still going strong.<br /><br />You don't get out much, do you?

Fondren couldn't be hotter with several new places, Belhaven has its share of new places as well as old ones, downtown has new places that have rolled out over the years and are still there, and NE Jackson, while it lost two good ones in Julep and The Cherokee, has added new places and retained old ones. When I pan the landscape I see a net positive of places to go in Jackson, almost to a surprising extent. Unfortunately, as some new places have hit the landscape, some older, good places have gone by the wayside. Only so many people in the city and surrounding suburbs to support X number of venues. I guess people see what they choose to see, so if the falling of Julep and The Cherokee are emblematic to you of a dying city, so be it. I'm not sure though that is a fair or accurate assessment given the newer restaurants/bars/etc. that have hit the scene. I certainly wouldn't say Mint failed because Ridgeland is a dying suburb. That would be absurd.
