Leaving Jackson, MS

It’s been 8 years or so since I was in Jackson but the Fondren was a cool, up and coming area with great restaurants. Brent’s Diner, where the help was filmed, is also there and a cool throwback. They had a speakeasy in the back too.

Best Buffalo Wild Wings I’ve ever been to and I have a decent sample size

As a former Jacksonian: civil rights museum, shopping/eating in the Fondren area. Relaxing time at the reservoir. The food is surprisingly amazing (look at Aladdin, green ghost tacos, pizza shack, Thai time, edo) There are a few good casual bars - fenians, George street - and after hours blues club (f jones corner) - mostly locals there.

So I was there for a family thing a few years ago and I really enjoyed fenians pub. I will say be careful of the roads—lots of crazy bubbles in the road due to some volcano under the city. No joke!

Had family live there for a decade. Echo Fondren, Ridgeland (outdoor mall), Mr. Chen’s (great Chinese food)…otherwise…yea, slim pickings 😂

Mississippian here- Fondren is really the only nice place to eat. The civil rights museum is nice. If you have a car, Vicksburg and Natchez are both nice daytrips.

There's not too much to do there but NOLA is a quick 2 hour drive if you have a car! Biloxi and Vicksburg are two other good daytrips if you have a car. Local options include going to Fondren and reservoir

Lol at the comments. My boyfriend wants us to visit but I don’t want to waste a vacation on that.

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
