    Starkville people…..

    Mine was more of a general statement. Starkville has a long history of not supporting local businesses. Just look at this thread with people already crapping on 7 Brew. Someone is investing their money into “your” town. You don’t have to personally support it financially, but constantly trashing...

    Starkville people…..

    Hate to see ACE closing. Starkville can’t expect to attract and keep great businesses if the community isn’t willing to support the ones already here. Maybe it wasn’t run perfectly, I don’t know, but Starkville has a long history of businesses struggling because local support just isn’t there...

    Vrabel & Russini

    Not really sure how or why this would be a fireable offense. If she worked for the Pats, yes, but unless the Patriots have some kind of morality clause in his contract, I don’t see why they’d fire him over it. Given the owner’s history, I doubt he really cares. This feels more like the moral...

    What a shame. I loved Roy’s place

    I love Starkville, chose to make it home, but Starkville does not support its local businesses. And, yes any high end restaurant will fail.

    What a shame. I loved Roy’s place

    Short answer, absolutely.....if a great dining experience is your thing. I will pay a lot for a great experience, and great food.

    OT: Headed to Las Vegas next week. Never been. Staying at the Paris for 4 days!

    Show - Absinthe at Caesers. Raunchy but absolutely hilarious. Papi Steak - Fontainbleau - An experience you can only get in Vegas or Miami Stay out of Cosmo, once was a cool hotel, but it's been taken over by the Instagram and Hip Hop crowd. Great if you are into that, but too young for me now...

    SIAP - Starkville announces new Cotton District safety measures after weekend shooting

    Is it perfect, no, but it’s a really good start. Any time you roll out something new like this, there’s going to be a learning curve and tweaks along the way. Credit to SPD and the City for actually taking action. Sure, you can argue it should’ve been done years ago, but at this point it’s about...

    OT: Powerball and other gambling degenerates

    I love to gamble, but I’ve always been pretty disciplined about it, more of a social gambler. Prefer playing with friends at the table. Several years ago I was staying at Caesars in Vegas and had my usual daily limit. Got down to my last $50 and sat down at a $25 table by myself. New shoe...

    RIP David Allan Coe

    Remember him playing in the Amphitheater around 1992, he looked old then. Someone in the front kept hollering play You Don't have to Call me Darling, he stopped and something like...I'll play it but it's the last song I play. Meaning if I play it now I'm out of here.

    Turn it into another practice field for baseball, and the Hump into the world's largest baseball locker room.

    Why does Starkville hate Mississippi State?

    I’d suggest riding through the District around 10pm on a Friday or Saturday, your opinion might be a lot different. This also wasn’t the only incident this past weekend. I spoke with a girl last night who was hit in the mouth with a brick and had to go to the hospital. A group “hanging out”...

    Why does Starkville hate Mississippi State?

    LEOs know the difference, and the good ones can spot these individuals quickly. The real question is whether our mayor and police chief will back them in running them out.

    Why does Starkville hate Mississippi State?

    Shooting may be an outlier, but the loitering is not.

    Why does Starkville hate Mississippi State?

    There is an important "that" in 615's post. The only time I go to the District is to eat lunch or early dinner.

    Why does Starkville hate Mississippi State?

    Lynn may have done some good things as mayor, but when it comes to the Cotton District, she has been flat out unwilling to confront the real problems. At this point, it does not feel like oversight, it feels like a deliberate choice to ignore what has been happening. I have two kids on campus...
