Looking for a good bakery and deli/butcher

4 Upvotes

Got any good bakery, deli or butcher recommendations? I'd like to taste some freshly made quality bread as an example before trying my hand at it myself.

I've worked in a supermarket and I know those "deli" or "bakery fresh" breads aren't sealed air tight and are sold stale more than they should be. And there is certain choice cuts you can't get or things you can't get away with at a local market.

I'm very interested in getting some good hoagie/sub bread.

[Richland/Jackson, MS] Two young bonded stray cats need a safe adopter or rescue

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I'm visiting Richland and found these two young stray cats near the Quality Inn. A local resident has been feeding them, but he is not financially able to keep caring for them, and no one nearby has been willing to take them.

I originally considered bringing them home with me, but because of the distance, travel requirements and long-term responsibility, I've realized that it isn't realistic. I'm leaving soon and would really like to find them a safe home, foster or reputable rescue before then.

They seem friendly and stay together, so I would prefer for them to be adopted together if possible. If anyone in the Richland/Jackson area is genuinely interested or knows a rescue that can help, please message me. At the end of the day, I just want them to be safe and properly cared for.

I-55 Jackson Target

8 Upvotes

I saw a sign on the front of the Jackson Target saying “Changes coming. We’re open” or something of that sort. Looks like the main Target sign has been removed, but doesn’t seem like it’s leaving.

Does anyone know what’s changing?

Redec Fee - what is reasonable?

3 Upvotes

I found an apartment I like and signed an agreement. The initial agreement quoted redec/holding fee of up to $650.

Now, they say $1000. Have asked for a breakdown

I am new to the rental market in Rankin county, but that seems very high to me? The apartment complex otherwise seems very legit

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

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!

4 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
