Jackson Jambalaya

Is that the Elite?

That is correct.

Was there no market value for a prime downtown property?

It is.

That WAS the Elite

I bet that cooper is totally still there.

Dirty Mike and the boys partying

Radical.

Wow! Hate to see this. Great memories at The Elite. Crying shame grifter Democrats ruin every damned thing.

Driving down Capitol Street, it appears there are more empty buildings than occupied ones. Really sad.

Looks like the bums HAVE taken over, already. I see zero aging, and one hundred percent vandalism/breaking-&-entering/theft.

Maybe if the republicans that moved out of jackson because they didn’t want to live with Black people still lived there this wouldn’t be a problem. Maybe they could out vote the

Looks like a camp set up in the back. Also a heat lamp.

My father played the piano there years ago. So many great memories. It's a shame Jackson is such a crumbling mess now.

I would like to think 11:56 is not serious, but he probably is. The blame some one else for my actions crowd. Very sad and an example of why Jackson is as it is.

My bad. It was the Silver Platter where my Dad played the piano. I'm sure that's in tatters also.

11:56 should replace the moniker "republicans" with "common sense people" (both republicans & dems) but then the sentence would still be laughable.

11:56- BlamingJackson’s problems on others ie it’s the State’s fault that the infrastructure failed, it’s the former white residents fault that tax revenue (property values) are down, JPS student performance is down because ??? & the mayor had to go to Florida to raise campaign funds because white folk won’t donate.

Sickening. What happened to all the fixtures? Did the person who sent this to you report? Downtown vandals have previously been caught and prosecuted.

Zouboukas sold it a couple of years ago to Raviner S. Bedi who owns it under the name Elite Indian Cuisine, LLC. Property taxes are always in arrears and sold for taxes but he redeems them. Taxes are high enough without having to pay penalites and interest every year but that seems to be his plan.

That last comment about the owner of Elite Indian Cuisine needs to be independently verified. Bedi was listed as an officer of Elite Indian but that LLC is dissolved so it's probably not accurate to attribute him to Indian Cuisine.

Dear idiot..... republicans did not move away because they did not want to live with blacks. Republicans moved away because Democrat leadership allowed crime to escalate, allowed light to take over, allowed corruption to take over, to the point that it wasn't safe for a Republican family to live there any longer. Prove me wrong!

I took the pictures this morning. Doors weren't busted out a couple of weeks ago.

11:56 the Elite was open for 72 years. Do you even think before type? Jackson’s exodus consisted of all races. All realizing the same thing- it’s better and safer for themselves and their families to avoid the amoral nonsense and mediocrity in Jackson. Peddle your excuses and victimhood grievances somewhere else. Standout in front of the zoo, Thalia hall, libraries, convention center or maybe outside the federal courthouse where the mayor and da are under indictment and tell everyone how these problems are because whites not wanting to live with blacks.

When Ditto got elected, the spiral began

I don’t buy into white flight. When a black family buys a house from a white family don’t they pay the same taxes?

What is downtown Jackson’s commercial building vacancy rate?

11:56...
Ridgeland High School is 10% white. Terry High School is 5% white. Pearl High School and Clinton High School are less than 50% white.
It is not "White Flight." It is "Intelligence Flight."

“Intelligence Flight” is right. I call it “Bright Flight”. I’m from Jackson but when I worked in Rankin County I interviewed numerous blacks hoping to escape Jackson. Those groups that will not accept what caused the problem can never correct it. It’s easier to blame white flight than fix real problems. That might take work

The bums already took over. They took over City Hall and ruined the entire town.
