Who the heck follows Waffle House on social media?

Losing out cities is the necessary sacrifice civilization must make at the altar of multiculturalism.

Chowke's dope boys will have to change location.

I thought the Lakeland Drive location just across the Pearl River in Rankin was an odd location when it first opened but it's looking better and better every day.

Dang...the I-55 corridor is really falling apart. The car dealerships will be next. Pretty soon it will be Newark, but without the gentrification. More like Lagos.

Poor Jackson can't sustain 3 waffle houses.

Surprised this one was closed when the ones on Beasley Road and High Street remain open.

I quit patronizing 'Awful Houses' years ago when I contracted food poisoning from the very one mentioned in this thread.

Won't hurt my feelings if they closed them all.

there's only like, what, 16 or so in the metro area? they have a massive workforce in the area. i'm guessing there are other factors at work here...

Its pretty bad when a Waffle House that is within spitting distance of a major interstate exit has to close. The nearby KFC and Popeyes can't be far behind.

Highway 80 corridor here we come! One day we'll look back fondly on the disastrous half-Mayorship of Antard Lumumba. The half-Mayor who took Jackson from a slow decline to an outright civic crash.

"Rome continues to burn..." while the long sobs of a violin can be heard from behind a gated subdivision.

Makes sense since Jackson's rampant crime Demarcation Line has moved from State to the I55 frontage.

In the vein of: "And what can I get you, hon?" culture, recall Nicholson in: 'Five Ra
Easy Pieces' in a waffle house type diner.
"I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee and wheat toast" Waitress says no wheat toast. Nicholson orders a wheat toast chicken sandwich, hold everything but the toast and hold the chicken "between your legs".

I think I have eaten at a Waffle House maybe twice in my life. I will go out of my way for a Denny's, though. Breakfast is great and if lunch or dinner, club sandwich and fries is my go to.

I went to a WH once. When I noticed the cook picking his nose I walked out. Never again.

Burke said...

"between your knees," 10:53. But truly, thank you bringing attention a masterpiece of a movie. Nicholson made an amazing anti-hero.

No better feeling in the world than to be cruising down the interstate at 2:00 am, top a hill, and see that wonderful Waffle House sign in the distance with the assurance someone is ready to fill a cup of joe for you and throw some bacon eggs and loaded hash browns on the grill. Maybe two slices of wheat toast too. Heaven on earth!

At Waffle House you can watch them pick their nose. All other restaurants, you never know what they’ve been grabbing. I’m old and you’re the only person I’ve ever heard getting food poisoning from WH. I’ve never been to a Denny’s that I felt clean enough to enjoy my food.

If Waffle House and Cracker Barrel pull out it's got to be close to rock bottom. I know the local restauranteurs won't leave, but they may open a second store out of town.

"Rome continues to burn." My goodness, it's a Waffle House. Between this and the Cracker Barrel, folks think it's a case of true civilizational collapse when some terrible diners go out of business

I often have nightmares caused, I think, by subliminal visions of all those flies (dead and alive) on the insides of windows at Waffle Houses.

'Here, Hun, take this fly-swatter and sit wherever you like. Whatchu havin' this mornin'?'

Still the most perfect 'soft scrambled eggs' in town, or, in my case: Old Canton Road in Ridgelan, my 'new home' after 49 years in Histeric Belhaven... The grits are quite good, and if you get pecans in your waffle, it's considered 'healthy!'

‘‘Tis Jackson. It is to laugh.

Nothing to do with the abandoned hotel O that is 20 yards away that has more people staying at it now that it’s closed then when it was open. I can only imagine what’s going on in the back of that property with what you can see going on from the frontage road.

City Council should denounce Waffle House for closing.

I love getting breakfast there. Their hashbrowns are incredible.

Steam Room Grill, Luby's, Fudruckers, Cracker Barrell, Twin Peaks and more (all substantial real estate investments) come to mind. It wont be long until the termites eat Highland Village, The District and Fondren. The Northeast Jackson folks used to make so much fun of Rankin County and especially Pearl. Now Pearl has become a real gem as Jackson I-55 N and the rest of Jackson rots. We all know why.

Perhaps the night owls and thugs are on Ozempic now?

Great the vacancy will fit right in with the half burned open air hotel where no one even tried to hide the illegal activity going on around the clock. Can we not just bulldoze it and be done? And what on earth do the owners of the other side of the place still in operation think, I can’t imagine business is booming. Only in Jackson would a motel be split into two separate businesses. And I repeat WHY IN THE HECK is no one doing anything about it?????

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. 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.
