Phonbook Diaries -- The King Edward Hotel


The King Edward was a nice hotel in downtown Jackson. it has been vacant for nearly 40 years, but it may soon be made into something nice again. Here is the hotel from the corner stoplight looking straight up from the front seat of my car (with the top down, obviously). Posted by Hello

Great! When I worked at the IH, people I knew with would all try to talk each other into breaking in and climbing to the roof. Some claimed they did, but I have my doubts. Still, I've always regretted not doing it. Then again, I like not getting stabbed.

i've seen many photos from the room as recent as a few years ago. you can totally do it and it makes for some neat shots! i also seem to recall there is a pool somewhere inside there. on the roof maybe? oh man, that'd be cool to ride my bike in!

Is there much evidence of work under way? From what I read on the Watkins Partners website, work is scheduled to proceed in earnest in September.
