127 car jackings in 50 days

Wait until they open that new cinema complex. There's a reason every theater closed-- the parking lots might as well have been discount auto centers. The proximity to the wealthy Northeast Jackson area will assure the parking lot is loaded with expensive imports.
And most Jackson apologist like to say it's not just Jackson. It could happen anywhere. Right...I suppose it could, but it doesn't. There was a car jacking in Madison a year or so ago and it was big news. Contrast that with Jackson where you have to get to 127 in a short time period to even hit print...
According to this guy we don't need to worry
Jackson isnt safe but "if we really love Jackson, we need to trust Jackson to make its own decisions. We need to give up on the idea of keeping it "safe," and have faith in the fundamental goodness of the people of this city."

Don't worry. When Lumumba is elected, everything in Jackson is going to be great again. The people that fled to Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Clinton, etc., will return to Jackson and it will become a thriving metropolis.
I'm on the coast, but saw the "complex" plans on the news. I didn't realize every cinema in Jackson had closed--all of them? When I lived in Jackson in the '90s, the "Northeasterners" seemed to rule the city. The last time I visited, you needed a Humvee or tracked vehicle to navigate over the streets in NE Jackson. To me, the roads were better in the heart of the city than the Eastover area. So everyone is moving to the 'burbs now?
Hello and welcome to the day after you moved. Probably mid-early 90's.
I think Jackson's last movie theater was Ellis Isle. I went there circa 1988.
"Probably mid-early 90's"
Very good-- 1993--you nailed it. The DeVille (and probably a couple of others) was still open and played "Rocky Horror Picture Show" every Saturday at around midnight.

The cinemas in Jackson were the older style large single theater (the DeVille Plaza) or smaller one or two screen theathers (Meadowbrook). Those closed due to the simple end of their life span. The first larger theater that was built was at Northpark and its probably nearing the end of its lifespan as well.
Lots of them still live in Northeast Jackson...
especially many of the very wealthy ones, and many of them shop in Ridgeland or Flowood, and although I doubt they get as far as Madison as often, I'm sure that some of them occassionally shop in Madison as well. There is still a healthy number of people moving in to Northeast Jackson as well.

Amazing. I remember going downtown to the Lamar and Paramount for movies and I'm not even 50.
I saw the first Star Wars movie at the Capri in what people would now call Fondren.
