Killer video and really appreciative of it. Grew up in Rankin county but spent lots of time traveling around South Jackson (McDowell, Raymond, Hwy 18) in the 80s & 90s. Thx a ton for the video.
Definitely lots of memories for me on the sights. I grew up just off McDowell near Key Elementary. Church at what was then “McDowell Road Baptist Church” across from Appleridge. Went to Peeples and Jim Hill. Played little league and Babe Ruth baseball at Battlefield. Used to turn off of Hwy 80 at the Moose Lodge to go to the pony league field that was on the left side of the road going to the back of the Metro Center. I noticed those ball fields were gone. I remember when Metro Center opened…. Yeah, been a few years. Sad to see the shape they were all in.
Retired to Florida but took a moment to cruise my hometown with you today. Use to live off mcdowell in the 80'sWhen I was in highschool( Im a LOT older than you) Appleridge was a pretty shopping area and there was a sweet older lady that made the most beautiful prom dresses. in one of the shops
Really appreciate you taking the time to give me a tour of my home town man! I recognized a lot of my old stomping grounds, but especially enjoyed seeing my grandparents old house on the corner of Scanlan Dr next Wingfield HS. It's sad to see a place that brought me so much joy in that condition! None the less, it brought back a lot of good memories and I will never forget my S Jxn days growing up! They can have it now, bc we had it when it was good...
I enjoy these trips thru Jackson. I left in 1992. Been to the Kroger on Raymond road many times. My mom worked for a fabric store at Apple Ridge shopping center in the 70s. It may have been called Cloth World.
I don’t think you quite drove by it but i used to swim at the old community pool, which I think it’s called Raymond Road extension. You were right around the corner from it especially when you were at the corner of Suncrest and McDowell. It was right down the street from the bike rack.
I went to school in Richland but spent many a Friday and Saturday nights cruising up and down Mcdowell and hanging out in the Jitney Jungle parking lot, good times....
I want to thank you for putting up the ride around videos. I grew up in Jackson. I graduated from Jim Hill High school in 1981. After that, I graduated from Millsaps College. I also went to Whitten Jr High in South Jackson. I grew up in Washington Addition area near Jackaon State University. I left Jackson and moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1999. The last time I was in my hometown Jackson was in 2007 for my grandmother's funeral. Whenever I get homesick I go and watch the videos you put up on UA-cam. I watch them multiple times. Please continue the ride around videos for us who are don't live in Jackson anymore. I see a lot has changed and closed since the last time I visited my hometown. My biggest shock was the closing of Metrocenter Mall. Even the Kroger on Daniel Lake was open when I was last there. It was a newer store then. Now I found out thru your videos that it is closed. South Jackson was a booming area when I was growing up. I don't know what happened to make South Jackson go down like it has. Keep posting the ride around videos for us to see. I am planning to take a vacation trip to Jackson soon and would love to shake your hand for curing my home sickness. Take care.
Question for you Jacquelyne. Do remember a white lady at Millsap named Acy. I know how you feel though. I joined the Navy in 79 , I live in San Diego. I love these video's to.
Damn. South Jackson has gone to hell. It's sad. We used to cruise McDowell Rd. every weekend. I got my first driver's license from Appleridge. We used to hang out at Rhythm and Brews and Town Creek. Lol Good times.
18:37 the gate entrance where the portable class rooms are. I had back into that driveway with a school bus. The Madison Central Volleyball coach and the high school students were soo impressed with my back skills. I heard on kid say he was using his mirror to back in to turn around.
I always complain about people not stopping at the Elton road exit! Same with Savanna street. Every time I stop I feel like the people behind me get pissed.
I do not remember a Huttos in south Jackson just the one on Ellis Avenue north of 80. I went to Callaway H.S. with the owner of Hutto's son and played baseball with him there.
@27:19 there was a Unitel store ( i believe that is right name) beside Bebop. Had my first pager with them. Had to go there weekly and pay my bill. lol.
@14:02 man just had to stop and say something about that road! Damn. at one point I realized you were driving on pothole bumpy ass road AND in some parts nobody even painted road lines at all.
I'm 46 now and live outta state. But I grew up on the southside, specifically McDowell/Raymond Rd. That shopping center had a Winn Dixie(later became Jitney Jungle or was it vice versa?) a TG&Y, and an Eckerd's Drug Store(later bought out/became Rite-Aid). Lotta good memories from down there back in the day. Thanks for sharing and if you ever want to collaborate or trade stories, hit me up
I wasnt a big fan of pasta and italian food growing up, didnt really start eating till my mid-20's and I so regret it nowadays. I always hear about how great Marios was
There was a man and woman showing Jackson but only the most dilapidated areas then called it a crap town. They didnt really go to any museums or the famous writer Eudora Welty's home. Your video is much better and fair. Thanks

@7:57 I hear you on that Facebook copyright crap. it's really annoying. I mean, I'm not trying to play music as a feature of the video to make the video better and therefore using the music as a part of the content I'm creating..................It's like, believe it or not I listen to music when I do stuff. and I'm listening to music because I like it. Not because I'm trying to make my video better. Yeah, so as a content creator not allowed to use music I like to listen to. It's a big pain in the ass. I'll upload a video of me mixing some ink and the stereo will be playing in the background and will take down my video because I was listening to music while I worked. I wish there was some common ground on that.
I remember early late 80s early 90s when yall used to cruise McDowell road too.. That's when black people were a Rare sight past McDowell rd.. Might as well been a sign up saying "No Black's Allowed!". Now it's 90% Black.. Wow times change
From Russian Shocked how fast USA is declining. In Russia we are doing fine. Western Brands are all simply being replaced. Our currency is backed by GOLD Yuliya
Good lord. Everywhere outside parts of St Petersburg and Moscow are complete run down shit holes. Shown in thousands of videos by Russians on UA-cam. May Moscow one day be Mariupol.

I believe the JSU center on Raymond and W. Highland use to be Allstate.

Dang the memories. First ticket I got was at the green light on McDowell

Wingfield Class of 1981, and those portables have been there since at least the mid 70’s
Awesome, thanks for the drive!
18:37 the gate entrance where the portable class rooms are. I had back into that driveway with a school bus. The Madison Central Volleyball coach and the high school students were soo impressed with my back skills. I heard on kid say he was using his mirror to back in to turn around.
backing up something like a bus has to take some serious skills
Sad to see ,we went to metro center alot. miss u Mom
I always complain about people not stopping at the Elton road exit! Same with Savanna street. Every time I stop I feel like the people behind me get pissed.

Still the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten.
I wasnt a big fan of pasta and italian food growing up, didnt really start eating till my mid-20's and I so regret it nowadays. I always hear about how great Marios was
Mario"s was the best italian food ia have ever had. Everything was homemade and fresh. Five happiness was the best also.
There was a man and woman showing Jackson but only the most dilapidated areas then called it a crap town. They didnt really go to any museums or the famous writer Eudora Welty's home. Your video is much better and fair. Thanks
Restaurants that are closed? Hudgeys.
To quote me then 6 year old son in 1992, "We don't eat at Hudgeys any more." 😃
