Where Do You Live?

[Conveyor Belt]

I thought we'd done this sometime before, but I can't find it in a search. Maybe I'm thinking about barrister's what district do you live in...

[gilgamesh]

Even if it was done before, like Ward 4, demographics change! Just ask Fairley.

[Conveyor Belt]

I think I'm probably thinking of barrister's poll. That's okay, though, let's compile the info...

[nooskye]

I think I voted wrong ... Is there a difference between the Oak Grove area and the Lamar County area ??? I live off Sandy Run, right outside City Limits ... which would that be??

[wilebill]

Is there a difference between the Oak Grove area and the Lamar County area ???
I think it depends on whether you fell off the turnip truck or not. :)

[Kitty]

I would consider your area "Oak Grove," because you are part of the Oak Grove School zone and you are outside the Hattiesburg city limits.

I live in the "Oak Grove area," which is in the "Lamar County area," but I have a Hattiesburg address and phone number, so I suppose that makes me a "citizen of the Pine Belt." :)

The only thing more confusing is those residents who live in the Oak Grove School zone, have a Hattiesburg phone number, and have a Purvis address. :smt119

[zorro]

City of Hattiesburg

[XC9]

City of Hattiesburg. In Kim Bradleys ward. I called him on Friday, he wasn't available, he is suppose to return my call Monday. I'll see! You will all know if he doesn't, BELIEVE me!

[ShockandAwe]

Could the Ward 4 folks raise their hand? In addition to me, I think I have Pathfinder and 58Ford as Ward 4. Anyone else in the group?

[Sunflower]

Shockand Awe, you have Bartspoon and I also in Ward 4.

[gilgamesh]

me. too

[MSQueen]

I think it depends on whether you fell off the turnip truck or not. :)

... and whether u got BACK ON! :-D

[nooskye]

I think it depends on whether you fell off the turnip truck or not. :)

LOL!!! HaHaHaHa!! :) No sir ... I try to keep my balance ... :)

[nooskye]

... and whether u got BACK ON! :-D


Even funnier! :) Don't think I'd get back on something I've already fallen off of ... That'd be a bit stupid of me. :) I try to learn my lessons only once! LoL!

[nooskye]

So, if I have a Hattiesburg number, Hattiesburg Address ... but my kids go to OG?? Does that still make me a "victim of white flight"? ;)

[Maggie-Doodle]

Ward 4 for me too!

[MSQueen]

Even funnier! :) Don't think I'd get back on something I've already fallen off of ... That'd be a bit stupid of me. :) I try to learn my lessons only once! LoL!

depends on how determined u r to stay ON the turnip truck!!!! :smt102

[nooskye]

depends on how determined u r to stay ON the turnip truck!!!! :smt102


Very true ... :)

[Joelaw]

I live just outside Petal in Forrest co. so I marked Forrest co. on poll but I view myself as being from Petal...

[Booshay]

ward 4 here

[PathFinder]

Could the Ward 4 folks raise their hand? In addition to me, I think I have Pathfinder and 58Ford as Ward 4. Anyone else in the group?

Your right ShockandAwe for the time being I'm still living in Ward 4.

[justme]

City of Hattiesburg- Ward 4

[nonnegotiable]

Shubuta! I wish Ward 4 of Hattiesburg.

[aaron]

This is interesting, I actually thought we had more people here living in Forrest/Lamar.

[Wayward]

This is interesting, I actually thought we had more people here living in Forrest/Lamar.
Look at Oak Grove compared to other areas and reflect on the intensity of the OG City thread. I think it reflects that we are in a truly regional environment both at myHattiesburg and in real life.

:smt006

[sidelinetolong]

I live in Oak Grove and have Hattiesburg phone number but have Purvis mailing adress. I am sooooooooo confused! I wonder how many MH members are originaly from Hattiesburg or how many have transplanted here. I am from Tylertown and have live here for 25 years.

[58ford]

I live in the Hattiespatch Hysterical Neighborhood in Ward 4.
Can you believe these Hysterical Bozos wanna tell me what color I can paint my house? At least they prevented the USPS from forcing us to go to curb service mail delivery.

[58ford]

Hey, Sideline, I lived in Tylertown a long time ago. (still own property there) Do you know any Smiths or Blackwells over there?

[lamarrebel]

I voted Oak Grove on mine...though it was a conflicted answer. My new residence is in the Oak Grove voting precinct and Oak Grove school attendance zone, but about a mile or so south of the Oak Grove city boundary was proposed to be. It feels almost like Green Acres out there -- my wife loves it though !

Let's see...who should celebrate this move? Johnny DuPree, obviously, because there's one less vocal Republican to deal with...and maybe one other elected official. Everyone else . . . . lol

[Kitty]

It feels almost like Green Acres out there --

Hubbarrister = Oliver Wendell Douglas???

[58ford]

Who would be Mr. Haney?

[Kitty]

Who would be Mr. Haney?

Joe Fortenberry?

[wilebill]

Who would be Arnold?

[lamarrebel]

I remember Green Acres and the theme song on Nick at Night when I was in high school, but never actually sat down at watched it. I knew Eva Gabor played the wife, but that's about the extent of my memory of the show. Mr. Ed was my favorite of the Nick at Night Classics.

ok so let me get this straight.... mr ed was your favorite nick at night classic---however you state you remember the theme song, but never watched it and only really remember eva gabor being the wife. Doesn't take much to impress you and be a "favorite" with you. How could something you did not watch be your favorite? typing and posting for the sake of posting. I just can't get over it... your favorite --even though you did not actually watch it?:smt102

At the risk of revealing my age, I watched Green Acres during its initial network run. In 1971, CBS' network executives cancelled every show that had a "rural theme"-- Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, Mayberry RFD. At the time it was said that they cancelled every program that had a tree in it.

Hubba, you might be interested in knowing that Tom Lester, who played Eb the farm hand on Green Acres, is from Laurel and went to college at Ole Miss.

[58ford]

I liked Petticoat Junction.

[Kitty]

I liked Petticoat Junction.

Of course! Petticoat Junction was the other "rural" sitcom cancelled at the same time.

[sidelinetolong]

Remember when the girls were swimming in the water tank and threw their bloomers out of the tank. That was a real turn on!

Yep, and on the porch, there was Uncle Joe, who was movin' kinda slow at the Junction...Petticoat Junction!

I think he meant Mr. Ed, the talking horse show, not Eb the talking dimwit on Green Acres.

[aaron]

With all the stats polls going on lately, I'd love to see some of our new visitors vote on this one.

[dollfus46]

I thought we'd done this sometime before, but I can't find it in a search. Maybe I'm thinking about barrister's what district do you live in...

I remember a What High School did you attend..

[dollfus46]

Where is Ward 4, for those of us who don't live in MS? I live in Greenville SC which is in the NW corner of the state up near the NC border, an hour below Asheville, NC

[mac]

I'm a transplant, but a true Mississippian. I came here in 2001 from Hernando, MS, which is in the extreme northwest of the state. Met my husband here, and stayed. This is home now, and I felt that way about it before we ever got married.

[IFARM]

:confused:OK where did ya'll hide my turnip truck. It's not in R-TOWN

[EricStratton]

I didn't see a choice for "The Edge"....That's where I live....I'm a loose cannon....That's right! I am dangerous, Ice.....Man.....

[Chichiguita]

Today I live in Middlebury indiana (amish country). In one week I will live in the Oak Grove school district.

Its raining cats and dogs here, by the way. I'll try to bring a little with me when I get there next Friday (We pack up Wednesday, leave Thursday).

Its it obvious that I am getting pretty stinking excited about this crazy adventure????:laugh:
See you all soon! lk

[Maggie-Doodle]

Dollfus, ward 4 includes the Parkhaven area, the avenues and over by Walthall school...maybe over by HHS too, I am not just for sure where the lines are over that way...

[carsalesguy]

where is the option for "box" ?

[Guru]

So, if I have a Hattiesburg number, Hattiesburg Address ... but my kids go to OG?? Does that still make me a "victim of white flight"? ;)

* Don't further confuse the issue. They have enough problems keeping Oak Grove and Hattiesburg apart.
Can you imagine a city limits sign saying "White Flight"?
;)

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

city of petal

[Guru]

This is interesting, I actually thought we had more people here living in Forrest/Lamar.

* I think you may be more than surprised when the tally is complete. I say this because for years I have looked for a place similar to this in Mississippi. There simply has been none to be found. And, Hattiesburg being in the center of all of us makes us gravitate to this site. I'm not sure about the Northern circumference, but if you drew a circle around the Hub the members here, highest percentage, seem to live outwards of a 50 mile radius and we already know some live much farther.

I struggle with this issue too--even though I AM NOT EVEN THERE, YET...I am moving next week (and getting pretty freaking excited:clap:), I am telling people I am moving to Hattiesburg--that's what my address says! I am, however, in the Oak Grove school system. That's where the apartment complex was...Is Oak Grove a suburb? We had those when I lived in Detroit Mi.--I say I am from Detroit, and they always want to know "What part?"--meaning: what suburb---"NONE--just plain Detroit"...That's why I usually say I am from "Detroit-proper". Is that what Oak Grove is--in relation to Hattiesburg? Sorry for my ignorance--I have never stepped foot in Mississippi--but I am moving there next week--(oh, my word, I'm crazy!--and excited too!--in large part due to the kind welcome I have recieved on this forum!)

Yes...OG is basically...or was...on the outskirts of H'burg-proper....(laugh)....It is not an incorporated city.....It is in Lamar Co., while H'burg proper....(laugh).....is/used to be in Forest Co....a while back H'burg annexed a corridor of OG (Hwy 98), and those business are considered to be part of H'burg-proper....(snicker)....since they pay taxes to the city of H'burg....those living outside of the annexed area pay taxes to Lamar Co.....So....OG is not Hattiesburg.....just near H'burg.....but most OG residents have H'burg addresses....some have Purvis or maybe Sumrall addresses...I dunno....

[Chichiguita]

Yep--it sounds like a suburb:smt105.

I wonder if I should have admitted that when I say "I am from Detroit-proper"--I often add, "no whimpy suburbs for me"...

Guess I'm growing soft in my old age.

Still, I am really getting excited about coming down... thus the insomnia:-D!

see you all soon!
