I’ve seen tons (at least 20) wingless termites in my house tonight, I have yet to see any piles of wings.

I know the rain made them swarm but should I still get an inspection to be sure?

Hey yall, I’m planning on moving in to Turtle Creek this August, and I will be getting a Quaker parrot this summer before I move in. I haven’t met the little guy yet but I know generally parrots can be occasionally be pretty loud while some can always be pretty loud, and I just want to get a feel for what my future neighbors might think.

How is the noise policy for yall, or do yall have any noisy neighbors in general?

Hi all! I’ll be moving in from from ATX pretty soon for med school, and i’m wondering what the vibe is regarding queer people around the city. Now, mind you, i’ve been in the south my whole life so i understand the context i’m in. I also understand that austin, texas is likely QUITE a different energy.

While i don’t plan on voguing down to the nearest coffee shop, i’m pretty obviously a gay guy. I’m not necessarily trying to get into the nightlife scene or anything - but how much will i have to worry about this? Am i gonna have to put on my straight (bisexual at best) voice? Get rid of my 3 inch inseam shorts? Start wearing carhartt?

I’m thinking that while yes its the south and its mississippi there’s like 2 universities there soooo hopefully its not a huge issue.

Would love any info. Thanks yall!!

I’ll be moving to Petal, MS soon and just wanted some honest thoughts about the area. What’s the vibe like? Is it pretty quiet and racially diverse?

Hey all, I have a quick question. I have a new cat that I’m slowly working on training to let me trim his own claws. In the meantime, I need to get them trimmed elsewhere. I went to his vet and they do it, but I was charge $15 for a less than five minute appointment. I can’t swing that every month on top of everything else! Is there some place that offers free nail trimmings? A quick in and out? If not I guess I’ll just have to speed up training somehow…

I'm here in tha 'burg taking care of my senior Mom. Has it's down sides but there's plenty of good. Biggest problem? It's just me, her, her 2 cats and my dog. Family is way outta state & having spent 13+ yrs in the oilfields out in the Rockies/Great Plains, I have nothing in the way of friends.

I've enjoyed the state regulated dispensary system here every day since I got my card. Solo. 84g a month. Anyone wanna hang out? Lol. Mary is a GREAT friend but not much of a conversationalist.

HMU

Or not

Idk if this part is relevant but I'm black, and I don't have any experience traveling through the deep south. I'm heading there because my gf currently stays there and I wanna be able to regularly visit her. Are there things I should be concerned about the city/local area? What's some good advice?? I'd appreciate any and all advice you'd have to share.

Thx in advance.

I’m pregnant and craving donuts. I have never been much for sweets or baked goods so I’m not familiar with what’s in the area. But I want donuts so dang bad! 🥲 what are the best in town?

Hey guys! New to Hattiesburg and looking to make some friends! Are there any hippie bars or anything around??

I really want to join like a BOOK CLUB! I read any genre and I used to be a part of one when I lived in Mobile… I miss it. Wondering if anyone knew of any. I know the library may have some I plan to check out.

Anyone have T-Mobile in the Hattiesburg area? Tired of overpaying for Verizon and not having much benefit out of it and the lack of having shitty cell service. Just curious how T-Mobiles service is. If you use someone else who and how’s the service?

Hi everyone! Curious to see where I can get a sleep study done, anyone have any suggestions or experience getting one here in hburg?

I was looking for someone to teach me how to drive in Hattiesburg or somewhere nearby. I’m an adult that didn’t learn how to drive when I was younger for certain reasons and would like to learn now. Does anyone know any driving instructors in the Hattiesburg area?

Anyone know anything about the Pascagoula Drayage Company, West Brothers Motor Express, or Highway Express, Inc.?

Me and my friend were walking downtown in hattiesburg and came across the old highway express inc building (which also was west brothers motor express and Pascagoula drayage). We approached it because there was loud repetitive metal music coming from the building, and we saw that the company didn’t even exist anymore. We looked inside the building and there were tons of women’s and young girls dresses everywhere and outside there were also dirty dresses and tons of “do not trespass” signs. We found this pretty creepy and wanted to know the history or what this building is used for still.

Who has their medical marijuana card, and where did you go to get qualified for one?

Hi! I am currently a resident at Summer West and my roommate and I aren’t super happy with the conditions there. We recently toured The Henry and liked it, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience living there and what your thoughts were! We would be living in one of the renovated apartments. Thanks!

My daughter is moving to Hattiesburg to get her Masters at William Carey. Give me the pro and cons of Parkwest and Reserve at Park Place.

Where can I dispose two giant, thick cardboard boxes? I got them thinking they would be moving boxes, but they're like bigger than appliance boxes. Need to throw them away ASAP.
