- Next up for us in Jackson: an Ed's Burger Joint with a rooftop bar. Reopening the historic Capri Theatre with reclining seats, full bar, & a food menu. We're also opening a 10-lane bowling alley, a full-service restaurant/bar, and a tiki bar. Be on the lookout in the fall of 2020

- Great news. The Capri in Fondren will show the MSU-Arizona game on the big screen with high def and Dolby 7.1 sound. FREE! Dawg fans will be able to sit in recliners & order cocktails, beer, & food, from their seat & watch the Dawgs on the largest screen this side of Davis Wade.
- We have the highest confirmed cases because we have the most testing, the most accurate testing, and the highest rate of testing.
- Construction in Fondren is in full swing. The Capri theatre will have reclining seats, a full bar, and apps. Highball Lanes will have 10 lanes, & a restaurant and bar. The Pearl is a tiki bar. And Ed’s Burger Joint will have a rooftop bar. We are fired up. Look for us this fall.

- Last night. Last table. Last meal. Thanks to all of the managers and crew who pulled off these amazing dinners these past seven nights. 12.27.87 - 8.5.20
- My advice to young people: Trust God, be kind, love your family, laugh a lot, don't compare your insides to other people's outsides, never confuse pleasure with happiness, don't hate, and take care of your feet and teeth. Meeting adjourned.
