A murder - suicide at McDonald's and now this. That trouble making statue can't come down fast enough.
Another Brandon murder. Glad I didn’t buy that house out there 7 years ago and opted to live in Madison. Lol
Mary Miles Drive right off Luckney Road in the closest thing to a ghetto in that area. It is bizarre how you can just tell you’ve entered a bad area. Bars on the windows, rusting hoopties in the yards. Makeshift basketball goals on dirt pads. And a WIC distribution center.
Well, if there is a hood in Brandon, that street is it.
Why in the hell would anyone take a trauma victim to Merit Rankin?
Hey kingfish didn’t the Brandon McDonald’s have another murder a few years ago? I Believe a McDonald’s employee killed another employee
What a waste. Rashad Collier, MBA from JSU. https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/find/person/pxur89996u9r68224660r
That area predates the McMansions by quite a bit
Wasn't that Wendys in Pearl?
Yea. A lot of that area was plus Fannin was freedmen owned land for a long time. There was some trickery and outright racist violence used in the 20th and many blacks got swindled out of their property by well connected white land developers. To create the Brandon and Flowood we know today.
Attn. 4:51 PM they were not swindled out of their money. They were offered money, and they took it! Keep trying to create racial problems.
Permitted by the City and city property was used ie. portable lights and other equipment. Hmmmm.....
Sad deal all the way around, take down the statue and things will change for the better.
Mary Miles has always been called Shady Lane. I’m 42 and it was called that as long as I remember. It’s always been rough.
I am surprised the cops had time to deal with this since all I have ever seen them do is to stop Texas tagged Hispanics coming from the Mississippi bridge in Vicksburg.
Years ago, before a rebranding, Mary Myles was Shady Lane. Same vibe.
A balloon release and town hall meeting would help. Maybe even a focus group.
Closest hospital.
4:51: What does any of this have to do with Fannin? Fannin is northeast of the Reservoir, isn't it?
Maybe you should look up Mary Myles Drive on Google Maps, like I had to.
I am sure that those of you commenting negatively about rankin county crime realize that neighboring city Jackson ranks in the top 5 murder cities in the USA.
