In this segment from Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay breaks down the closure of Jackson's iconic Bulldog Bar and Restaurant after 25 years on Ridgewood Road. The owners cited post-pandemic business decline—fewer crowds, more people ordering in, and earlier nights out—as the official reason, even donating surplus food to Stewpot Community Services.

 

But Clay calls it out: the real culprit is Jackson's urban decay turning it into a "third world hellhole." White patrons stopped showing up due to safety fears, and the bar never adapted to the shifting "modern urban demographic." He ties it to other recent exits like PetSmart and TJ Maxx relocating to Ridgeland, and Arby's on High Street shutting down.

 

Is crime and demographics killing Jackson's nightlife? Clay says yes—listen for his unfiltered take on why spots like this can't survive anymore.
