A Steinmart AND a restaurant dedicated to hot wings…!? It’s official, Hattiesburg, MS is perfect!
I like 'em hot! (ups your RMR!)
Buffalo Wild Wings. (Logo reminds me of J.Simp!)
I’m a simple girl to please. Any town that satisfies my comfort food and shopping needs is A-OKAY in my book. 
Hattiesburg however, has gone above and beyond meeting criteria I never even imagined could be criteria! To share these, a Picture Post for you enjoyment…
- The downtown is caa-ute! I adore cutesy downtowns (if ya didn’t already figure from my Miracle Mile obsession) that look like they belong in a movie. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to walk around downtown Hattiesburg, but I did manage to get some car pics…
Check out that architecture!
Front Street.
- The Pine Belt Farmer’s Market. I’m also big on farmer’s markets since the products they sell are local, I.E. comes from a neighboring town or state. The produce is usually fresher/riper since shipping is less troublesome. That means fruits & veggies that are more nutrient dense and tastier! Plus, you are supporting the local economy!
PS...it's blueberry season in MS!
Brownie points to whoever can spot my mom!
During my medical school interview, we were informed that Mississippi is THE fattest state in the US. That’s right, #1 most obese state. I wasn’t sure I heard them right, but good ol’ Google confirmed it. In spite of this, Hattiesburg has some redeeming “let’s not be number one anymore” qualities. Like the farmer’s market and….
- The Long Leaf Trace. It is, as quoted from their website:
South Mississippi’s premier running, biking, hiking, equestrian trail. It is a beautiful linear park, 41 miles long and fairly flat (a rails-to-trails conversion), extending from Hattiesburg (elevation 220′) through Sumrall (290′), Bassfield (460′), and Carson to Prentiss (336′). It has recently been extended to the USM campus, and negotiations are underway to acquire the right of way to downtown Hattiesburg.
Sorry no pics, but what a great workout opportunity right? Let’s just say my road bike is definitely moving up to MS with me.
- Hatttiesburg is a “hub city.” It is less that two hours away from Jackson & Biloxi, MS, New Orleans, LA, Mobile AL…etc. Perfect for my love of the South & mild case of wander-lust!
Roads that lead to other roads!
- It’s only 5 hrs away from my fave spot in Tennessee. (& ya know I don’t mean Memphis!)
Farm at Sunset.
- Lots & lots of flowers ALL over town! Wait a minute, so is this what spring looks like??
Crepe Myrtle!
These look like purple fireworks!
Crummy car pic...those are lilies!
I love lilies, roses, sunflowers, daisies…etc, but my all-time fave has to be hydrangeas! Lucky for me these abound in the South!
- Last but certainly NOT least, my new apartment!
A sneak peek!
More pics on the way! My apartment is perfect so it deserves a post all to itself! stay tuned!
In Other News…
Luna Protein Bars are AH-mazing! They have a whopping 12 grams of protein and less that 200 calories. In my opinion (& in accordance with my several small meals a day routine) they are the perfect mid-day snack! I’ve had the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor – it tastes like a something from the candy aisle! Next on my list to try is the Cookie Dough flavor. Although, I’m sure it won’t disappoint! I think these will be perfect for my soon-to-be hectic medical school life as I can eat one quickly between classes. Once I decide on a flavor, I may get myself a couple of boxes!
