Jackson Jambalaya

Love it. Great work guys.

Thanks men for your work. Fantastic result.

Wow. Kudos to them. That's awesome.

Wished homeowners on ridgewood and meadowbrook would take a 1/10th of the pride in the streets in front of THEIR homes that these guys displayed for their City and clean up the weeds, leaves, and litter on their curbs.

After losing Hooters and Twin Peaks, I knew we were doomed.

Meanwhile the guvment employees tasked with either doing that work or contracting it out are drinking their Starbuck's lattes, surfing the 'net, and checking their PERS balance.

Rukia will be along any year to pitch in. Right?

Good for them!

Great work guys!!! Thanks.

Meanwhile City of Jackson employees are sitting on their fat asses drawing a check.

ALL this does is treat symptoms. None of this effort addresses the illness.

Did I see Choc-a- loc there using a shovel? I know he has been working all over the city to clean up things....Naw, he his sista just organized the clean up ( because they are organizer's you know) and stood around supervising "white boy Bob" gettin' it done.

Good luck to those guys. Several years ago a young lady and I cleaned all 4 off/on ramps at Northside and I55. 8 large bags of garbage. 2 days later ... trashed again. It's the ole "broken window effect". If we don't have the intelligence downtown to handle the easy stuff, how the heck can we handle the harder items.

Casey can and does what he sets out to do!
Great crew and giving back to the community!
Thank you Casey and crew!
It is the little things that really matter.

However well meaning they are, it's "shoveling shit against the tide." They are lucky that they didn't get shot.

Locke Ward is a great guy and fantastic real estate agent. He worked with me and my wife tirelessly for many months before we found our dream home. Plus he knows everybody in the Jackson area.

Put the prisoners to work!

It will be trashed again by Saturday. They wasted their day.

They were out on the frontage road again today! Huge thanks to this group! Great example for our City.

As one who seems to spend half his life driving along that area, I cannot thank these guys enough.

Casey Can Home Services did some exterior work at my NE Jackson house. Showed up on time, got it done, cleaned up before they left. Casey came by when the job was done to inspect and make sure the boss was happy with the job. She was.
No "check in the mail" for this post. Just an honest review of my experience with this guy.

It is unbelievable the change in Northeast Jackson. I have lived here since 1973 and our new, "incoming neighbors" apparantly have no respect for "nice places". 9:56 AM is so correct. Ridgewood Road and north Old Canton Road are awful and will be like south Jackson in a few years. It makes me sick. Trash, cars in yards, uncut grass, homes deteriorating on and on.

To show your appreciation, give Casey Can Home Services your business. (601) 896-7800.

Kudos to those guys! It looks great!

Unfortunately, they did EXACTLY what this administration wanted! Like every other thing the LumumbaNation touches, they neglect it / ruin it, then let it sit in a neglected/ruined state for long enough that either "responsible people" (state government., local individuals, etc.) or panderers (federal govt.) come along and take care of the problem FOR them.

Again, I admire these guys for trying to make a difference; however, this effort was tantamount to "feeding the bears:" Bears know they don't have to search for food if someone is going to provide it for them.

I wish Rukia and the Poor People Posse would do things like this.
You know, actually improve the city instead of just planning events, talking and inventing racism.

Why be negative when this is a positive article. If I lived in a former pasture with a storm brewing, I’d be more worried about the fake stucco

Hello Burke! Next time you thru that way, getcho fat ass out-the-truck and help. That bottle of Hiram Walker 10-High will still be at the house, waitin' for your arrival.

Chokwe Presser: "White contractors using Hispanic minorities stealing City of Jackson Landscaping along I-55". Throw in some hand wringing and "right's" & "you know's" in for effect.

With this positive momentum, maybe Willie Simmons can help get the Interstate lighting fixed. Highly doubtful.

4:24, Willie Simmons is not doing his job. He is a poor excuse for a Highway Commissioner, and 12:18 you know that you can’t use Hinds County Prisoners for labor details. It’s due to some federal ruling that was handed down a few years ago that will not allow it. I’m thinking it’s because of some mommas didn’t want their boys doing actual work.

Now, I have attached Willie’s office contact and you may reach the commissioner through his assistant, Calola Williams. Her email is cwilliams@mdot.ms.gov The office number is 601-359-7035. It would do a lot of good to have many many people contact his office and inundate him. Last count there was 4 recliners, 2 couches, 8 wooden pallets, 1 chest of drawers, 3 broken down cars, 12 tire carcasses, 3 front caps from wrecked cars and trucks, 1 air chamber from a set of air brakes, oh and don’t forget the homeless camp on 20 west at Gallatin street in the median. Simmons is not doing his work. Clean it up fella.

Wasn't Chowke going to give the Socrates Highway Cleanup LLC this contract?

@6:33 Thanks for sharing contact info. I suppose Willie's job is to ensure preferred contractors are "awarded" work.

Heartening to see. Commendable action. But for the majority of Jackson’s population, the world is their garbage can, the very ground beneath their feet a ready trash receptacle. The area will be filthy again in a week.

Other than showing up for photo-ops, what, literally, does a highway commissioner do anyway?

I can recall a hundred or more photos of Dick Hall with local 'dignitaries', but don't know of anything he ever really did.

In Simmon's case, this job allows him, in four years, at age 81, to slide into PERS retirement with at least 60 years at the state tit. He was employed at Parchman in 1968.

Mair Lafumble says when y’all get through there come by his castle, his flower beds needs freshening up.

I’ve seen lots of different ppl and groups doing this that don’t film it for social media content with 2 different cameras. They also aren’t marketing their business though.

Free advertising - one piece of trash at a time. How cynical and self-serving.

Way to go Locke. Run for office in Jackson.

I’m grateful to them for the initiative and energy and action.

8:35. Locke? Run in Jackson? What are you smoking? When Ashby and Virgi leave, you will NEVER see another gringo in public office here again.
