Recreate our EXACT itinerary in Jackson! bit.ly/weekendinjxn

[@meshiasandifer5288]

First positive video I've seen about the city👏👏thank you for having an optimistic eye.

[@richardmcclendon5753]

the city "sponsored" the video...it was a commercial.

[@jimmycain8669]

The city is actually known for crime, pot holes and being a dump. This video is fiction. I like it because of the illegal gambling and I like the people. Anything goes in Jackson and never even a thought about police. Jackson loves criminals.

[@chadijahcraig6135]

I know yall had a tour of them potholes too 😂

[@jessicamcpherson7254]

Haha! I visit there somewhat often. One night in Fondren, we saw that someone had placed a tree in a pothole. I guess they wanted to warn people.

[@emma-nn9qe]

haha for real tho!! i live in madison and im in jackson all the time and those potholes suck

[@No_One-d9z]

LMAO! I was thinking the same thing! #northsidedrive/statestreet

[@laniemo14]

Jackson is a great place when people take the time to find the good in it, and that is exactly what you guys did. It makes my heart happy seeing this about my home town!

[@brettpoole7888]

I live in Jackson and I'm glad y'all got to visit and see some cool things. There are a lot of underground places in Jackson people don't know about and I feel people usually have a negative preconceived view of the city and state as a whole so it's cool y'all got to shine a light on some positives.

[@EssV_]

Hey bro, dm me for those underground spots if you'd be kind🙏🏽. Passing through

[@blakereed4755]

The movie “The Help” was actually filmed in Brent’s Drugs. They remodeled most of the store for the film.

[@e.s.7520]

I knew that place looked familiar!!! I love that movie. :-)

[@devitaslife7858]

I have lived in Jackson for years and I am so glad you guys did an awesome job showing the hidden treasures in Jackson. Great channel!!

[@aolanikunisan]

I used to live in Ridgeland, Mississippi Thank you for showing MS some love

[@Theendlessadventure]

Our pleasure 😊

[@summernickole2902]

I live in Fondren District and I LOVE it. Glad you guys got to check it out and enjoy the vibes. Jackson tends to get alot of hate and bad reputation. If you actually spend time here and go where the locals are it can be AMAZING. My place of work is actually right across from the Gov. Mansion walk past it all the time going to lunch or the banks their garden smells amazing during bloom. Thanks for the positive review.

[@steven_green]

West Jackson born and raised. We need more positive perspectives like this of our city! If you haven't seen or visited these restaurants, get out more! Our city has ALOT to offer!

[@ryleighkyle]

i’m am born and raised in mississippi and tend to visit jackson A LOT! People tend not to say anything pleasant about the place! Thanks for the positive feed back!

[@elizabetha9310]

I am from Jackson! If you’re ever back in Mississippi you should also visit Starkville! This was such a nice video to see especially since my hometown normally has a bad reputation! Love it!

[@grantarnold2606]

starkville? girl you are FUNNY

[@marielaveau5321]

@@grantarnold2606 right?! I hate to discourage any positive opinion of MS but Starkvegas is truly the most dismal college town in the state, maybe even the South. Boring, boring, boring.

Yeah, we really aren’t that interesting😂😂

@UC4RNNoXBvnwWX9YO1VmZ1KA I actually lived in Fondren about 2 blocks away from Brent's Drugs! I think the name of the bar is Apothecary right? Moved away to live in Norway with my husband about 4 years ago

[@georgiavaughan9104]

Jackson is everything that was described in the video and so much more people that don’t live in Jackson or even in the state of Mississippi only won’t to focus on the bad . All states have problem areas

[@psanchez1981]

If getting shot and driving your car on streets that mimic the surface of the moon, then yes, jackson is so much fun.

[@PeaceGurlIsMyName]

I live in Jackson currently. Thank you for showing the city off. ❤️

[@TurnItUpWorld]

LOVE THAT INTRO. Murals are fantastic. Music, booze, art, and history. PERFECT. Sign us up! LOL. Allison, totally ranking on Eric's art work. LOVE that Babalu restaurant that used to be an old school. Totally agree with the restaurant game in Jackson. Dang y'all that food was as Allison said "Heaven" The oders of Bourbon and Wood. Hmmm...interesting and OMG how toasty were you both at the end of this!! By the way that Pecan Vodka looked bomb!!!!! Hope y’all enjoyed your last night and enjoy that whiskey!

[@calichef1962]

I've noticed your comments on this channel a lot lately and they are always very sweet and positive. But it doesn't seem like you know their videos were actually filmed three to six (or sometimes more) weeks in the past. Once in a while, they will tape something and upload it right away, but that's usually reserved for things like when they hit a milestone number of subscribers, or maybe to say Merry Christmas.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

calichef1962 Hi there. We do know that the filming is delayed. Not sure of the timing of the delay but we try and live in true moment of the video. 😂😁 Thank you though for the info. We appreciate it!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks girl, glad you enjoyed it! And great meeting you all today 😊

[@TurnItUpWorld]

The Endless Adventure anytime y’all. Glad we were able to catch up with you both over coffee today! ☕️🥰

[@ashleyreneeeasterling896]

Born and raised in Jackson Mississippi and y'all make it look so interesting. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed it 👏👏

[@keeba1378]

Was born and raised in Jackson up until I moved about 4 years ago. Spent 38 years of my life there. Thank you for painting it in a good light. It generally gets so much bad press. The Fondren area is so pretty and nice and definitely deserves more credit than it ever gets.

[@j.robertson7228]

Thanks for coming to Jackson and showing off some of our local spots! Come back soon!

[@lisamcfadden8361]

I never ever would think to go to Jackson Mississippi for food. Great video, everything looked amazing. Have to put Jackson on my bucket list. 😎

[@louyht7]

Me too. where you from?

[@lilvatoakayato2384]

DO NOT COME HERE PLEASE. get food anywhere else and i can guarantee you that itll be much better! especially in downtown areas🤢 its so god awful and ghetto please i strongly suggest both of you to save yourself time money and to never come here. it has one of the most highest homicide rates of all time its probably top 10 or 20 worst citys in all of america

[@shelby9160]

you definitely should have visit Frank jones corner for some live music! Its downtown a couple blocks from Ironhorse actually. Run down hold in the wall bar, only open on weekends, BEST live music you will find in the city.

[@edenbeiser4534]

Thank you for making a positive video about MS!😍

[@ilatindiva]

This warms my heart! Thank you for visiting & positively documenting! Jackson is beautiful and has so many hidden gems, with a very rich history! Thee I Love! 💙🐯

[@juanitabrown9588]

Thanks For Coming💐 Guys SO Glad U Enjoyed your Selfs 💯💯Jackson Mississippi Luvvs 💚U

[@crickeemac]

Jackson has its perks. We live in Fondren. It’s so awesome to have unique restaurants and bars, shopping right here in our neighborhood. If you visit again, come on the First Thursday of the Month for Fondren’s First Thursday formerly known as Fondren after Five. During that event you can pop into Hops and Habana for craft beer, cigars, and live music and have a country fried steak with curly fries at Roosters. Afterwards get tea cookies or brownies at Campbell’s Bakery. Morning coffee run at Cups in Fondren. It’s the best coffee in town. Thanks for showcasing some of the awesome things my ‘hood has to offer!

[@lailaturnage9963]

I’ve lived here all my life i love to see people come here and enjoy the beauty of it. Jackson Ms has a bad reputation but it’s not all bad.

[@elexiabrown6895]

I stay in Jackson and I didn’t know we had all this , thanks for putting me on

[@hiphoppeep]

Moving to Jackson in 2 weeks and cannot wait to explore

[@2012banksnb]

Why? We don’t even have running after rn! This is what you will deal with constantly

[@d.green225]

Traveling through there Thursday on the way to Memphis. Any restaurant recommendations?

[@annek1226]

Correction! In that first place you stopped for breakfast, that is not a bar, it’s called a lunch counter!

[@lewischinquita4278]

Go across the street to McDades Grocery Store and have some soul food. Fried Chicken and other meats and vegetables and cornbread or a roll.

[@bt5080]

Really didn't know how fun and exciting Jackson was until you showed us around. Great job! Especially enjoyed the Art Museum. Eric your camera work really did show the 3D on the Art you described to us. Bravo! Allison, you seem to have a steady hand and a good eye for art!

[@ajohnson6249]

Wow you guys where right by my office, thanks for the positive reviews of the city!

[@BASSic601]

Jackson native here. Thanks for visiting!

[@kathleenj2651]

Hello! Thank you so much for this! Peoole that are not from our state of MS don't understand the struggle we have with Jackson. This kind of positive publicity is just what we need. Liked and shared!! ❤

[@courtneymayfield3380]

Thanks for the lovely videos of our capitol city! If you’re ever in Mississippi again we’d love to have you showcase Vicksburg. It’s a 30 minute drive from Jackson and we have a wonderful national military park, antebellum homes, and sunsets over the Mississippi River that are to die for.

[@gabriellenelson9182]

AYYYYEEE! I put on fuh my city on on fuh my city!!! I love my city, preciate the love‼️

[@justinadaircobb]

I miss living in Jackson. I was there for 7 1/2 years for grad school, and it was a unique gem--plenty hip and urban enough but not too densely populated to get around or find a place to park. I loved it there and always enjoy getting back when I can.

[@TravelBagsDiary]

Wow you guys are really selling it! We have never been to the US but we are picking up some great tips and places to go, things to eat from your vid's. We would love to oneday do a roadtrip through the States. #bucketlist.

Oh my goodness I grew up in Jackson and now live right outside of it. Glad you enjoyed your time here and thanks for sharing it’s true love.

[@darksandman1]

You guys didn't go to The Pizza Shack? You missed one of the best restaurants Mississippi has to offer

Haha I live just about 40 minutes from Jackson however y’all make it look awesome I may need to go back to these places!!! Thanks for the video

Amen girl. I've seen most all of my home state, and Jackson is the only city that scared me............ and that was 40 years ago!

[@MzGoodGirl4Lyfe]

The fact that I live and lived in Jackson my while life and didn't know these places existed

[@No_One-d9z]

If you ever come back, make sure to go to Offbeat on Wesley Street! It’s a comic/record/ cool hang out spot.

[@ItsJustJodieLove-ej4il]

You should try the civil rights museum

[@Winterfell1066]

I have been watching your videos for years and am subscribed. I loved your Scotland videos a while back. My wife and I live in Jackson MS and have been to Scotland, Highlands, Skye, Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, Glasgow and Edinburgh many times. My favorite place to chill in Scotland is in Blairgowrie at the Jute Mill (Loft). Can't believe you came to Jackson MS and I am just seeing this in 2024. Jackson has a lot of problems, but some great areas and food too. Thanks for coming.

[@deneshiamiller4748]

well didnt kno jackson was so great😥 maybe i should tour Jackson alot more..

It actually is. You'd enjoy it

[@grantarnold2606]

JPD is active in our community congratulations to Mr. Lee vance on winning the election for Sheriff so Don't let the negativity keep you away come party with us. NO City Is Perfect but it's still your home.

[@MatildaRabbit]

Somehow I stumbled across this video, and I loved it! I was just discussing bucket lists with a friend today and was saying that there were more things I wanted to do and see within the state than elsewhere. There is so much rich culture, and you barely scratched the surface. Glad you enjoyed it! Y'all come back now!

[@huachi5]

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay in Jackson!!! So many times all people see about Mississippi is negative, thank you for showing something positive!! (MS is my home state, I live on the coast)

If you go back to babalus you have to go on Saturday when they have the bottomless mimosas!!!

Bread pud in the UK would normally have mixed fruit and peel in it. It's just a way of using up stale bread so you can make it as basic or deluxe as you like. Needs more than just bread though. Bread and butter pudding, now that's another story.

I’ve followed you guys all over and am just blown away that you were in Mississippi! Thanks so much for coming and what a great job you do taking us all over the world!

[@alexwilkinson1689]

Loved Jackson! Went there after dipping into Selma, Alabama for a couple of days. Fondren Public had some great ales and beers, which as a Brit made me veeeeeeery happy 😂 they did an Oktoberfest competition where you had to hold a beer stein of water in front of you for as long as possible. I came 3rd out of about 20 other blokes! Great times, man.

That's great that you got a chance to stop by Jackson! Nice job on the competition 😄🍺💪

The distillery, prior to its existence, was used as a small metal/hardcore/punk venue. Also the building next door to the distillery was used as numerous clubs/venues. Fun fact.

As a misssissipian from Jackson, I don’t understand how anyone can wake up and be like “ let’s go vacation in Jackson,MS”. Like how? Come visit us now while we have no water. It’s really fun

[@shannonmyers4207]

From the central MS area and you're right there are some amazing restaurants all around here but also all over the state. Next time you're in Fondren you have to try Saltines it's in the same building as Babalu's. The gravy fries at Saltines ate amazing and their desserts are wonderful! Also for a GREAT burger Rooster's is in Fonderen and Campbell's bakery is great fresh baked goodies. Then travel 3 more hours south to the MS gulf coast for some wonderful fresh seafood. I recommend McElroy's on the coast. Oh and stop at Crescent City Grill in Hattiesburg on your way to the coast.

[@jessicamcpherson7254]

Roosters is amazing. Those cheese grits and chicken strips with tomato gravy are amazing.

[@Sheppesh]

I enjoyed your tour of Jackson! Now I want to visit. Good job guys! 👍🏾

[@alexissmith2675]

Thanks for this! Jackson is a great place to visit as well as several places around the area. Mississippi born and raised...love this video! Brent's was in The Help!
