I have to come to Jackson next week and am trying to plan where to eat.

11 Upvotes

I want some suggestions of decently priced food, it doesn’t matter if it’s burgers, chicken, fries, southern home cook meals, or a buffet. Nothing that will cost me an arm and a leg, preferably something that’s affordable for 3 people to eat decently.

What happened to the grilled cheese festival

Upvotes

One of the most fun festivals I’ve attended in the belhaven area in a while I went a few years ago I wanna say 2024? I haven’t seen anything about the festival coming back since then but it attracted a huge crowd the last time I attended. Is it ever coming back?

Does anybody know of a dentist that uses T-Scan equipment in their office? I’m looking for a dentist that can do a computerized bite analysis, not just bite paper. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Is anyone aware of an adult futsal league (or even just pick up games) in the metro area? Thought about trying to start one if there wasn’t one. Not sure if the interest is there though.

What are other single folks doing with their free time to stay occupied/not bored during this hot summer in the Jackson area?

18 Upvotes

I was wondering what others who aren’t busy with family/SO stuff on the weekends are doing for fun or just to be engaged while it’s too hot to be outside for long. For example, I went for a run/walk at the Rez this morning and contemplating grabbing a pint or two at some point this afternoon. With Jackson not having that much going on socially, just seeing what is going on out there, maybe get some ideas for friend groups to join or something.

Disappointing discovery: Martin’s

Martin’s has been a cornerstone of the Jackson community for more than 50 years. Recently, I became aware that the owner and one of his employees have been actively involved with the podcast hosted by Clay Edwards, which many have criticized for promoting racist viewpoints.

It took only a few minutes to find the public Facebook profile of their bartender, Justin, where he has openly shared his opinions about minorities and the Jackson community. If you’d like to see for yourself, take a look.

Calisthenics, Pilates and More

1 Upvotes

Thank you to all who responded to my post about moving to Ridgeland or Flowood

https://www.reddit.com/r/jacksonms/comments/1uxl3xj/moving_to_work_at_ummc_ridgeland_or_flowood/

Unfortunately, no-one answered about looking for local classes for Pilates or Calisthenics

Pilates, there does seem to be classes locally. But any Calisthenics (I would be a beginner at both, and need to be in a class/group setting to progress)

Thank you!

Need a fair priced but good review tire shop!

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently took my car in for an alignment/rotation and was told they can’t do the rotation because my tires have dry rot. After a quick google search they’re correct since my tires are now almost 4 years old. So I’m looking to see what my options are for tires as far as local shops go.

I usually go Firestone but lately their service has went downhill. The dealership loves to upcharge so not a fan of that either. Any recommendations help! Thanks.

If needed: car is a 2015 Camry SE

Moving to work at UMMC - Ridgeland or Flowood

7 Upvotes

Hi y'all.

I have just moved interstate to work at UMMC. I will be here for at least 2 years. Currently staying in temporary accommodation in Ridgeland near East County Line.

I will be living alone. I considered carefully, but decided that options for accomodation and living generally will be better for me in Ridgeland or Flowood rather than Fondren or Belhaven (which have costlier complexes or less safe-looking options) and have checked out some apartment complexes. I like a couple in Flowood.

I have traveled to UMMC from where I stay currently, and it was only about 12 mins before 8am. I have read a lot that traveling from Flowood has worse traffic despite being closer. I will usually be traveling to UMMC around 0730 and return in the afternoon is variable but will be well before rush hour around half the time. I don't want a typical commute longer than 15-20 mins each way.

Other local things I am interested in are and would influence where I live/travel to/from:

- Pilates/reformer Pilates and would any suggestions on good classes that I might take twice a week

- Calisthenics classes

I would also be grateful if y'all can add advice about their experiences on commutes, apartment complexes in Ridgeland and Flowood and grocery shopping.

Thank you!
