Episode Details

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards humbly admits he was wrong about two major Jackson developments. First, he skeptically predicted Thalia Mara Hall would never reopen under city control after its 2024 closure for mold and HVAC issues—but with its scheduled reopening on January 13, 2026, just in time for Broadway returns and Kamala Harris's book tour appearance the next day, he gives props to Mayor John Horhn for making it happen. Second, Edwards doubted the Prado Lofts luxury condo project would ever move forward, calling it a "terrible idea" despite its $50 million scale; now, with groundbreaking set for January 15, 2026, and plans for 135-215 high-end units in Fondren by early 2027, he acknowledges the progress as a significant economic boost, even if he's still not sold on its location near troubled areas. Raw reflections on being proven wrong in the Capital City.
