Fourth largest city in Mississippi. Known as "The Hub City" due to geographic location to other city in the region. Home to the University of Southern Mississippi.
Camp Shelby is located just South of Hattiesburg. At 136,000 acres it is the largest National Guard training site in the nation.
non Hood Hattiesburg is made up increasingly of people that
fit into one or more of these groups:
1. Stand next to you and yell into their cellphones while you are trying to read in Books-A-Million or enjoy nature on the Long Leaf
Trace.
2. Want to tell you how much
money they make, their son in another state makes and everyone else in their family. What their
house cost and what it cost to remodel. What their 47 inch TV cost. You get all this information within two minutes of asking, "hey how is it going?" from a stranger or someone you have not seen in a while.
3. Drive $58,000 Chevy Tahoes with W stickers on the back or a Jesus fish.
4. Pretentious yuppie scum that think living in the most exclusive neighborhood and bigger
house with gaudy stainless steel appliances makes you a
better person.
5. Gets depressed about living in a little 2600 sq foot
house of mostly unused space when there are bigger mcmansions out there!
My political
science professor at Southern Miss calls everyone from Ole Miss
racist. He also told the class "white people move from certain neighborhoods in Hattiesburg cause they are
racist." Meantime he has been keeping it
real at Lake Serene for 25 years.
Hattiesburg seems to be made up of arrogant people just trying to screw you out of your
money. These people lack the work ethic and humility of people from Meridian. Probably due to Meridian being founded on factories and mills. While Hattiesburg's soul comes from a drain of bullshit starting at the pompous staff of USM.
Bret Farve lives just outside the city of Hattiesburg. He's got more
money than all these poseurs and still isn't an arrogant jerk. They should follow he's lead and show a little humility when interacting with others.
When you run into someone nice in Hattiesburg it's usually cause they just moved there or live somewhere else for a good deal of time. The Republicans at softRock104
will probably read this on the air after they play Fleetwood Mac for the
12 millionth time. Rock 104 sucks! 103.7 Rulez! Yeah!
