I moved here from Destin FL, and naturally was disappointed at first. Yes, it is a smaller town, but its the biggest small town i have ever seen.

Hatttiesburg is your typical mississippi town - very BORING and NOTHING to do as far as entertainment and culture. Resturants as mostly low end chains and not very good ones at that.
