Jackson Jambalaya

You don’t think people were sleeping in there do you?

What a crying shame it is that Democrats use crime and chaos to create the flight of Republican voters, and to keep Republican voters in the burbs in order to control cities like Jackson, MS forever, even after they’ve destroyed it.

I sure miss The Elite, and I sure miss the good days of Jackson, MS.

The Hinds County tax assessor just increased the true value by $46.75. Progress indeed.

Good work Fishman

Renovation or demolishment? Never saw the post.

Until enough democrats desire to see meaningful investment in their city/county, there is little hope that progress will occur. That investment ain't coming unless and until the circumstances exist to protect that investment. Tell me what the current Jackson leadership is doing to promote/protect investment in the city, especially downtown?

The original photos had a single missing birkenstock sandals. Yes.

"Democrat" used to be parlance for "working man/woman" or "the poor, underprivileged". After the last election, the Democratic Party brand can be found at your nearest Hospice facility on life support. Even the poor, underprivileged don't want to be associated with it.

Well, there are mattresses against the windows and styrofome food plates on the floor.

Now they are galled ' gimme-dats'

All the money this county uses is from blue states and cities. Red states are broke and fat and diseased relying on federal dollars from blue states. Stfu fat Mississippians. Be a Christian and help your fellow citizens (lose weight) even the black ones.the end

Sad day when boarding up a building is considered progress

Attn 2:40 pm, unfortunately, boarding up a building in downtown Jackson “is” progress.

Someone(s) working for the progressive media echo chambers at the Free Press and/or Barksdaler journo gulags pass by with nary a care despite the published huffs and puffs online from their leaderships about caring. Have you seen Wolfe's Jackson Today remit? Laughable. Solution Circles for everyone!

Losing the Elite has been like losing a lifelong family friend.

All the disaster donations comw from red states. Blue states fund welfare.

Over 30 years ago I worked in downtown Jackson in my first job out of college. It was a vibrant, fun place to be. Lunch at the Elite or the Mayflower. Or walk over to Mr. George’s Sandwich Shop. Maybe go over toward the river and grab a Beatty Burger. Drinks after work at the Iron Horse’s original incarnation. Weekends, go out at The Dock until all hours. Jackson used to be a proper town.

Then people got old and the yutes got crunk!

There’s hope! In every decrepit city, when things get cheap enough, money comes flowing in (and not all big money). And there’s a spring.

Things are changing in Jackson. Slowly unfortunately.

Just so glad that the poor paint can at the front door was righted. I just couldn't sleep, lying awake all night, worrying about it flipped over on its side, helpless and vulnerable to predators. Thank God for the kind man who turned it back to its proper orientation. Whew. Close one.

No they're not. The losses far exceed whatever gains you are imagining.

The Elite was never going to make it. The last time I ate there the food was awful. It'd still be closed if Jackson were booming.
