It's not a factory in the middle of Belhaven. 3. It's not journalistic bias I'm concerned about; you're potentially committing libel by stating unsubstantiated facts about other people -- we're not talking about committing a criminal act. My entire point here is that no one is to use this site to villianize either side. It was as if there was a media blackout on it. This is one of those issues where we've never taken a position on the zoning part -- other than trying to warn people that an exemption was shortsighted (and, thus, have been proved correct). It's spot-zoning, and spot-zoning is an invitation to redlining. The Fairview Inn has lost its fight to keep the zoning designation that allowed it to run its business in a residential Jackson neighborhood. And it's in a position to be a big disruption if the owners do not run it well (which it sounds like the current ones do). I do hope it works out well for everyone, though. Fairview Inn & Restaurant i will say this, though: with the HUGE turnout they had Saturday (and that isn't exaggeration to say), traffic was NOT an issue AT ALL. We are free to state our opinions (in my humble opinion) without the worry of journalistic bias being alleged. Then-Hinds County Circuit Judge Bobby Delaughter, who recently pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI as part of the Scruggs judicial bribery scandal, ruled against the neighbors in 2007. And I sure don't envy them the chore of dealing with the karma they inherited. But we are entitled to protect our home, and we are doing so within our legal rights. A restaurant at the Fairview Inn on Fairview Street could close to the public if a recent ruling by the Mississippi Supreme Court stands. I sure wasn't going out on any limb for Bill Simmons when he had the inn regardless of the legal issues. yes, s/he and i see this from the same point of view, but i don't see any contentious behavior. The bottom line is that the zoning probably needs to be changed, rather than just seeking special exemptions. It's just that when you look at the addition of a full-service restaurant serving alcohol in a residential neighborhoodthere are good reasons why if you were going to do that you'd have to be in a commercial zone or get a special use permit.". Updated Aug. 17 to correct the Fairview Inn's street. This bar offers perfectly cooked prawns, steaks and fish listed on the menu. "I feel bad for themthey inherited this." Most of the plaintiffs are attorneys at large law firms and represented themselves. i think "demonized" is a very loaded word. This AM I emailed the pic of the hotel that was in the clarion to several of these readers. Beautiful Inn. I disagree with you there. We said back when it came up the first time that they should have been lobbying to change the zoning, not just get an exemption for their own business because that wasn't likely to be sustainable, especially when someone else couldn't get the same exemption -- the old fairness problem. "It would have a very negative effect on us," Sharp said. It sounds like you're doing just that, Stuart. Otherwise, as I've said, I'm neutral. And the courts and city need to get it sorted out so it ends, and everyone knows what the rules are going forward. 2599, you need to learn the difference between opinion and accusations or, worse, stating things about other people as fact. My whole point is that I have not taken a side, and am open to all sides to the extent that I have time to think about this.

The city initially warned the couple that their restaurant violated the inn's zoning, but after meeting with the couple, city officials changed their tune and said that "social gatherings" could include a dinner reserved ahead of time. Actually, I'm not saying one way or the other. That's not the same as opinion; and saying it is your opinion that it's true is not a defense. They started being more neighborly after that. 2599, I'll answer that. Fairview Inn & Restaurant the trurans seem sympathetic in the article saying they "feel bad for the sharps." A smart move. Share: I don't think Jackson can afford this kind of NIMBYism. One good thing about the neighbors' opposition: It forced the Simmonses to at least try to control what was going on better and understand that they couldn't just do anything they wanted.
Their examples of that type of behavior are directly related to the plaintiffs' own attempts to shut down the allegedly "high density commercial uses."
If this was a case of spot-zoning, spot-zoning is too dangerous from a civil rights perspective because it would allow neighbors to define a business with black clientele as "disruptive" and a business with white clientele as not in a way that would lead to redlining.
Enjoyable service is something that visitors note in their comments. We assume no responsibility for any liability, loss or delay resulting from such use. ;-). It's kinda basic."

But that does not mean that *either side* should be demonized. and you know there are many who would, even though it has NOTHING to do with the current issue. Reporters have a lot of balls in the air right now, and this one isn't the most urgent one, news wise. Donna,

"With 18 rooms, the average guests a night for dinner may be 8 or 10 people. So don't waste your time, or mine. If QB had said "in my opinion, this looks like", would he have been in the right then? I will say that I predicted then that this ruling might not stand. Someone had to pay for the appeal; someone had to write all the appellate briefs; someone had to go argue the appeal in front of the Supreme Court panel. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
"My point is not against the Sharps; it is saying to rally the community to lobby to get the laws more friendly to mixed-use zoning if that's what you want to see, rather than relying on special favors. You don't seem to understand the meaning of "trash talk" as I'm using it, and seem unwilling to examine why the statement I called out of yours is different from others here, including your other statements. I'm guessing Ward will follow up.
It has ended up where it would and should: In the courts to determine whether the zoning exemption was done properly in the first place, and what kind of precedence should be set. The Mississippi Supreme Court showed a rare bit of good sense by ruling the way it did. Please! I'm passionate about the Fairview because I see a couple here who came from Florida, and shortly after, lost their son to cancer, and have pushed and thrived and made this beautiful place what it is. According to the reviewers' opinions, the decor can be described as beautiful. It is they, not Simmons, who are adversely impacted by this ruling. 2599, with due respect, you are here because we invite you to be.

It's kinda basic. Thanks for correcting my hurried misspelling of precedent, but you can't skate over the fact that it is an issue in this case. The law does, however, and that's the issue here. Change the law and if that doesn't hapen - obey the law. Peter and Tamar Sharp bought the Inn from the Simmonses in August 2006. Great service, great food, beautiful and comfortable rooms. There aren't too many places in Jackson that have that same feature- I would think that it would be something that you would embrace.

Meantime, this is where this argument ends. 734 Fairview St.
I couldn't have really broken the material, considering that it was an open secret all those years. My impression has been that the Sharps are more attuned to the needs of the n'hood than were the Simmonses when they ran it; they came across as annoyed that the neighbors would dare challenge what they were doing. Leave it to Mississippi to come up with a "NIMBY" project that involves an upscale restaurant!
