What’s the nightlife/social/dating scene like in Jackson, TN? Is there one?

Hello! My husband and I just moved to the area from CNY and would love to hear about all the great places we should check out. He’s an avid bike rider, we own a Jeep Wrangler and two VWs, we love good food and good drinks! Thanks!

Hi, this is my first post here but I'm relatively new to the area and currently don't have a sustainable job.
I am someone who graduated college with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Information Systems and unfortunately don't have much in the way to show for previous work experience for a tech job .. but I also am someone who does make art (things like logos, illustrations, and so on) and music (jingles, pieces, songs) .. but is there anything like this I can look to for work in the Jackson area without the means of much transportation?

Otherwise outside of that, I'm feeling a bit trapped and isolated and would like to otherwise just branch out because of my lack of success trying to find remote work.

Hi! I have recently moved back to the area and would love to get involved with a group of friends my age. I’m single, in my early 30’s, live in Brownsville and enjoy church, hiking, playing the piano (beginner), reading, video games and table top games, as well as DND (also a beginner!). I currently work in marketing and am also getting my masters degree. Does anyone have any suggestions of groups I could join?

I just moved to Jackson and I’m currently searching for any office jobs. I checked indeed and I can’t find any. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m moving to Jackson very soon, and was hoping I could get some wisdom from this sub

If anyone has any recommendations for favorite restaurants, nature trails, shopping, or other fun things to do around the city, I’d be super grateful to hear about them!

I’m not a picky eater and I’m open to trying new foods and activities, so any and all suggestions are welcome

Thank you, and I’m looking forward to being part of your community!

Just getting settled back in town. Looking.for good paths ,greenways and best areas to ride easily without a lot of pedestrians. It's been a few years since I've ridden but bike is in great shape and ready to grow. Open to suggestions or possibly ridding together. Dm me if interested. Thanks.

I got two job offers and I have to chose which one to take. One of the jobs is at Delta Faucet as an assembler.

Everything I was told during the interview sounded really good. But the reviews on glassdoor/indeed are not that good.

My main questions are: How often did you have to work overtime? How hot/noisy is it in the factory? And, how physically demanding is the job?

No relation other than this seems like a cool event for Jackson.

We live on 18 and over in the bonwood industrial complex a company called PCS has installed a literal steam whistle on something that blows so loud we can hear it in our house. It last for 20-30 minutes or more at a stretch, will cut off for a while, then start back up. I’ve got video of the sounds from 3 and 4 o’clock this morning. Apparently my SIL can hear it and she lives all the way over on Rebel rd. How is this allowed? What can be done, do I start a petition? Contact the mayor w good hair?

Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are?

I've noticed whenever I post in the Jackson subreddit about supporting local black business I get a lot of push back. I've never said don't support other businesses. I only asked where to find some more and I've posted black businesses that I've found. To me it seems like Jacksonians don't like the idea of black people being included in capitalism. I come to the community searching for help/recommendations and receive only scorn. It feels strange, I am from Jackson but it seems I'm not of Jackson. So I have a few questions.

Why is black capitalism negative or scary to Jacksonians?

If black businesses are local businesses, then why is there such push back in supporting them? Are we not Americans, are we not Jacksonians?

This is admittedly anecdotal, but many Jacksonians I've spoken with feel that black people are culturally inferior, and that they are the only problem they face. I disagree, as would anyone who's read W.E.B Du Bois and Baldwin, but if we expect the worse from black folk, why not support them when doing the best?

Hey y’all! My band Carver Commodore is playing in Jackson next Thursday with Brother Moses and Rob Griffith. We’ll be at Catbird Studios, show starts at 7. If you like indie rock/pop, pull through. I’ve heard good things about the venue - looking forward to checking it out!

Small update, I might make more of these. I found a black-owned black beauty supply store. The name is 2U Beauty and Fashion. It's on the corner of N Highland and N Parkway. Good inventory, good variety, good customer service. For black folk, you're gonna purchase these products anyway, might as well support your own; manually invest in our communities since our environment compells us not to do so. To all else, it's still a local business, stop by and see if there's something for you. We accuse black people of being lazy and morally bankrupt, so support a black woman making her hard-earned money by the book. We criticize it when we don't see it, so let's support it when we do! If you know a minority-owned/local business put it in the comments.

Come out and support a great local event this Saturday March 2nd at the Civic Center.

Comics , toys, video games , pop culture, cosplay contest, wrestlers and tons of vendors are just some of the attractions present.

I'll keep it short for those not on the same wavelength, but I'm cruising the channels and only hear silence. Any other frequency enthusiasts out there?
