Hattiesburg Current Resident: Visiting the city of Hattiesburg, Mississippi would be a great experience for those visiting in the surrounding areas. It is a very nice, clean and friendly place. Those that live their are very nice and always willing to help you. It reminds me of a big city as far as shopping is concerned. In one stretch of highway, there are so many different stores to choose from. The Fast Food restaurants, gas stations, lodging, home improvement, and the SUPER Walmart that attracts everyone from the city to the rural areas. I enjoy living in the city of Hattiesburg, because growing up on the East Coast, 20 minutes outside of New York City, there was always traffic jams, too much crime and the feeling of being overcrowded. Here, it's less hustle and bustle and more of a vacation feeling. So, I chose Hattiesburg, because out of all the other cities and small towns I have visited in the state of Mississippi, I enjoy the fresh air, the maintenance of properties and highways. NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Read 209 Reviews
