Well, it is clear why that thug bar/restaurant/dive on North Mart was able to operate and harass the neighborhood with impunity.
Posted below is an email received from a reader last fall:
since Taste has opened just down the street from our house in Fondren, it's become clear that it's a club and that the owners have zero regard for their neighborhood setting with throwing distance of single-family homes on Kings Hwy. The disturbance level goes up a notch each weekend they have been open, and this weekend, as I sit here, the entire neighborhood is literally vibrating from the music coming from their outdoor, unpermitted JSU homecoming event. Cars are parked all up and down N. Mart Plaza, in every private business lot that happens to be open, and along Kings Hwy in front of our houses. Since Taste is open until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, we all fear we will face another weekend with little sleep and lots of stress. Word on the street is that this and a second club on North Mart that's popped up in the last year, Parlour Room, are tied in with the mayor and that's why they are allowed to flout the law and noise ordinances and parking and who knows what else.
Many neighbors have called JPD and Capitol Police, to no avail. There is a feeling of apathy from the dispatchers and even ridicule that we're upset to have our homes invaded by noise and chaos.
The video below was shot on a Friday night as the cars poured into the neighborhood.

Yes, it sucks. I'm a couple of streets over and I hear it every so often. We've had a couple of discussions about it at neighborhood meetings but there's one thing we can always count on. Thugs don't know how to keep a business afloat for very long because they're... well... stupid as fuck. They never last forever and there's re-zoning going on right now to mitigate future businesses in the area.
That is totally unacceptable. I don't think I could live in that noise! Plus all the traffic!
Don't see how you can change this culture when the majority of the city residents seem to approve of it. So I opted to find a home in an area with a majority that shared my idea of a nice neighborhood.
That is why I left NE Jxn in 2008.
I don't know...Maybe large-ish cities just are no longer compatible with families.
That establishment, along with the one across the street, promotes a culture that is loud, gaudy, sexualized, and destructive. The decline of Jackson and many other Southern towns was caused in part by past mayors and “leaders,” but even more by cultural differences.
Here's a good first "social" test for Horhn. Let's see how he does, now that he's in office. Hoping for the best, betting on the worst.
I gotta tell ya, a couple of weekends of that, and I'd have to move....because it's only gonna get worse from here!
Chuck some 40 mike mikes through the windows.
Jackson wouldn't even be considered a small city.
Considering how thoroughly he was trounced in the election have to question the business acumen of whomever thinks featuring a paunchy has-been is a good advertising strategy.
Horhn is probably on the take also. How many shootings will happen before they close it down? The M-Bar had it's far share of hoodrat activities. Those intrapersonal relationships always seem to come to a head at these places.
Wasn't there a shooting there recently? They could get a building for less on West Northside Drive...
"and that's why they are allowed to flout the law and noise ordinances and parking and who knows what else."
It's the "what else" that could be interesting. It will also be interesting to see how these operators perform without protection from the Lumumba administration.
What this entire post and thread is all about is white penis envy. Yall just don't like how easy it is for a Black King to attract white bitches.
The food menu for Taste actually looks pretty good. I'd like to go try it on a non-weekend night, but since I'm white, I'd probably get a lot of weird looks there from the staff and patrons.
Um, so...is it a remake of "Revenge of the Nerds" with ALL Tri-Lambs or something...?
The menu for Taste shows that it's not a cheap place yet it has a clientele that has no problem making this place a nuisance. It's not just poor people dragging Jackson down.
So you are really saying that Chief Joseph Wade was compromised.
Pretty sure Capitol Police have no jurisdiction with city noise and zoning ordinances.
This is the block where 8 people were shot the Friday before last.

“There were at least 30 shell casings marked off outside the Parlour Room near State Street and Meadowbrook Road.”
The Parlor Room is directly across the street from Taste.
@5:21 exactly my point. The culture promotes porn brain. The only time I’m thinking about my penis is when I’m zipping up after pissing or in bed with my wife
So you are really saying that Chief Joseph Wade was compromised.
Compromised? Who knows. Handcuffed? Strong possibility. When people repeatedly called JPD about the Daiquiri Bar on Capitol Street, they were told the police were ordered to stand down from enforcing the law in regards to that bar. When Horhn said he was removing the handcuffs from JPD, this is probably some of what he meant.
Regardless, Wade for all of his long wind and lofty rhetoric still allowed himself to be bent over. He talks the police game but his BS walked when it came to hanging on to the (meager ass) title.
Wow, “word on the street”, huh?
Why is family man Chockwe out bar. Hopping. He touted himself a family man on election night. He should be home with his daughters
The problem Alice is you believed him.
Perhaps Taste can be reigned in with code enforcement but Parlour Room is the epitome of a place where everyone should expect to get shot. Spend 30 seconds scrolling through their Facebook feed. Nothing but skank. Shut it down.
5:21, yeah we’re just jealous, except maybe the people who just don’t want to live next to a public nuisance, and the people who don’t like getting shot at, and people with babies who just want them to sleep through the night, and . . .
But I guess it’s all worth it if you get to screw a white girl every now and then. I’m sure your baby mamas are just jealous too, except maybe the back-due child support . . .
