Hi! I’ll be moving to the area in September and am at my wit’s end apartment hunting. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve spent my last two summers in the Ridgeland area commuting to an office in Downtown Jackson, where I’ll be working. I’m perfectly happy to explore other areas!

All the different apartment complexes are blending together and I still haven’t found exactly what I want.

I’m looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment with in unit washer/dryer for ideally less than $2k a month. I’d be willing to pay a little more to get something furnished. It needs to be within a reasonable commute downtown (30 min or less), but safety is important. I’d want somewhere with on-site security. I’d like to avoid areas mostly populated by college students. Move in date would hopefully be September 1.

Anyone have any thoughts? Any place you recommend? Any place to absolutely avoid?

Any good picture worthy brunch spots in the Jackson metro area?

Hey everyone,

I’m posting here because I could really use some guidance or local insight.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Mississippi State University, and I’ve been actively job hunting for over a year trying to break into entry level IT, software development, or really anything in the technology field. So far I haven’t been able to land anything, even after multiple interviews, and I’m starting to hit a wall.

I also have 5 years of technical support experience working at Amazon, where I handled customer support, troubleshooting, and technical issue resolution in a high volume environment. I’m comfortable with support work, system troubleshooting, and I’ve been trying to transition that experience into a more technical or development focused role.

At this point, I’m open to entry level IT roles, help desk, junior developer positions, QA, or anything that could help me get my foot in the door and build a career in tech.

If anyone in the Jackson area knows of companies hiring, has advice on local opportunities, or even knows someone who might be willing to connect or refer me, I would really appreciate it. Even small leads or suggestions would mean a lot right now.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

My family lives in the Jackson area. Our son, 3, has mild autism and, because of this, we've waited until this upcoming August to put him in daycare. My wife and I have tried finding other parents and setting up playdates, but it's been hard. He's a really sweet kid and usually plays well with others, but it's hard to set up playdates when none of our friends (or siblings) have kids yet and he's not even in daycare yet.

i start a new job september and in the mean time was gonna go back to cleaning houses. 20/hr. quick cleans, laundry, organizing, deep cleans. holler at me

Hey! I always see videos of Jackson on Instagram with Buffalo and stuff.. the problem is that I don't drive so is it worth if I came and stayed only in downtown?

Apparently there’s a big C spire outage. Just fyi

I left a work iPad in my rental car and I would greatly appreciate contacting a person to try to help me retrieve me lost item. I can track the device on the FindMy app but I also can’t seem to get a hold of any person. I submitted the lost and found request through the rental car company. But I would greatly appreciate if anyone knows how I can speak to a person to confirm the location of my work device and eventually ship it to me. Thank you so much for any help.

Where can I watch World Cup games at a restaurant or a bar that stays open past nine during the week days
