(Mississippi Blues Marathon)

      The Historic Fondren District, Jackson’s hippest, coolest, most avant-garde, most diverse and progressive neighborhood . . . right smack dab in the middle of the metro area. With boundaries extending from Northside Drive on the north to Woodrow Wilson on the south, and from I-55 on the east to the ICRR tracks on the west, the greater Fondren community is truly a microcosm of urban Jackson. Greater Fondren is fortunate to have two distinct commercial centers, one on the south end that is traditionally known as "downtown Fondren", and the other on the north end, commonly referred to as the Meadowbrook business district, which are connected by North State Street and the many vibrant residential neighborhoods along the way.  Whether it’s shopping at one of our many interesting boutiques, thrift stores or art galleries, dining at one of our famous eateries, attending a cultural event at the historic Cedars, listening to some contemporary music at the Pix/Capri or simply dwelling in one of the many extraordinary homes, apartments and condominiums in our community, life in Fondren today is energetic, exciting and truly . . . urban living at its best!
