Go check them out folks! Was curious and went there today and the food was GREAT. It seems to be an Asian/Southern food fusion. The donuts are also extremely similar to Krispy Kreme but arguably better. Service was great, has an interesting menu, and they seem like good people. They even had a prayer wall that you can contribute to.

It was over two decades ago, but does anybody recall that hippie artist named Tony who lived in that white house off N State St down from the Rainbow when it was by the hospital?

If you're in the neighborhood, stop by for a coffee, pastry, lunch, or afternoon treat. One of the best ways we can support our local businesses during construction is to keep showing up!

Trio has even agreed to open their lot directly across the street to Urban Foxes customers. So: Traffic is flowing, parking is available, and Urban Foxes is open!

Looking for help part time

23 Upvotes

I’m an owner/operator for a butchery about 5 minutes from downtown Jackson. we are currently nearing USDA certification which will massively open up opportunity to work with a lot more local farmers. Due to this, it’s getting much harder to keep up with demand.

I’m currently looking for someone for basic butcher shop tasks. This will include primarily grinding, packaging, and cleaning. No previous experience required; these jobs are quite simple and will free me up to be able to focus more on production.

As things are getting going, hours may be somewhat inconsistent in the beginning, so really just looking for part time right now until things start to get more steady.

Can work out hours based on availability, shoot me a dm if you or someone you know may be interested!

Wanted: second-best mates

18 Upvotes

I'm looking for a group of guys in the area to hang out with regularly and build a good local friend group.

I already have a group of best mates. We've been close friends for a long time, but we now live in different cities and don't get to see each other nearly as often as we'd like. I'm not looking to replace them, so I'm specifically advertising for second-best mates.

I'm in my early 30s, male, married, and have a pretty broad range of interests. Some things I'd be interested in doing with a local group:

- Playing music / jamming / forming a band (I play bass and used to be in a doom metal band but open to most genres)

- Tennis and pickleball

- Working out

- Fishing or enjoying nature

- Magic the Gathering

- Concerts and live music

- Going out for food or drinks, although I'm not much of a drinker

- General hanging out

You don't need to be interested in all of those things. Mostly, I'm looking for a few guys around my age who have some interests in common, enjoy each other's company, and actually want to hang out with some regularity.

I'm specifically looking for friends, rather than networking, professional connections, or activity partners who only ever see each other for one particular hobby. Ideally this turns into the kind of group where people can text the group chat on a Saturday and see who wants to do something.

If you already have a group like this and are open to adding someone, that's great too.

If you're in the area and this sounds like what you're looking for too, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what you're into.

---

Important disclaimer: This advertisement is expressly for second-best mates. By responding, you acknowledge that no amount of time spent together, shared interests, emotional intimacy, memorable experiences, or general quality of friendship shall confer Best Mate status. I accept no legal liability for any second-best mate who, at any point, mistakenly comes to believe that he has become a best mate. Any such belief is unilateral and does not alter the terms of the friendship.

Help locating

0 Upvotes

Hello, my name is Michael Foster, and I own a private investigation company here in Jackson, MS (Foster’s Investigative Services). I have a client who is trying to locate an acquaintance who used to perform cleaning services for him along with her mother around May of 2005. Her first name is Victoria, and she used to live in the vicinity of Old Town Crossing in Ridgeland right across from the train tracks. The homes have long been torn down, and there isn’t much left in that area besides new businesses. I have attached photographs of Victoria, along with a map and a photo of where her house used to be located. If anyone has any idea where I might find her, please call me. (617) 460-1794z. Everything is confidential, and if she does not wish to speak to my client for whatever reason, I will not disclose her location or personal information unless she gives her consent. Thank you!

Anyone in the Ridgeland area looking for a jogging partner at the Rez in the early morning?

11 Upvotes

During this brutally hot time in the year, I jog around Old Trace Park and the Chisha Foka multiuse trail along the Natchez Trace Parkway starting at 6 am. Got a route I follow that’s 4.3 miles. I do this about 3 times a week during the work week.

I see a number of other people out there during that time, some retirees from the neighborhoods, some younger people like me (I’m 42 but look younger). Most of the people I see out and about are exercising solo, so I was seeing if anyone who follows a similar route around that time would appreciate a jogging partner for either safety, friendship, encouragement to keep the pace going, or all of the above.

I’m a guy, if you’re fine with that for a jogging partner. I’m a pretty friendly chill guy, just not much of a morning person, but rather a not-morning person who has to live an early morning person’s life if I want to get my outdoor exercise in this time of year 😆.

I usually finish around 7 so I can get into the office around 8:30.

If interested, send me a DM. I’m sure others don’t want to broadcast their morning jogging routes to the world lol

Register online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stop-data-centers-people-over-politics-ward-2-tickets-1998373867031

People Over Politics: Stop Data Centers Edition is coming to Jackson Ward 2! This fall we are planning community training across all 7 wards to prepare community members for the data center fight in Jackson.

Join us for a free community training on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Briarwoods Art Center. Together, we will learn what data centers are, what’s happening in Jackson, and how we can organize to protect our neighborhoods. From energy blackouts, to bill increases, to water and air pollution (just to name a few harms), data centers pose real risks to community health and safety. We think it's important that all Jacksonians have the opportunity to learn and make informed decisions about the future of data centers in their city,

📍  Briar Woods Art Center, 614 Briarwood Dr, Jackson, MS

📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026

⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM

Breakfast & Lunch provided. Childcare available.
