Half a VW at the Lucky Rabbit As I made my photo walk around Hattiesburg, I noticed this neat store, but it's only open on Saturdays and Sundays. I guess I'd called it a quirky antique store, but it's hard to say when you can only look on the outside. The half of a Volkswagen Beetle is certainly attention-getting.

Hattiesburg, MS Confederate Memorial located on the grounds of the Forrest County Courthouse in Hattiesburg
Faded Wall ads - Hattiesburg, MS It looks like this ghost sign has been painted multiple times. I think the easiest part to read is on the left where I see Smoking and "Standard of the World." I believe this is a Bull Durham Tobacco ad. On the right, I see "Shoes." At one time, I suspect this building was taller and we only see the lower portion now.
National Bank of Commerce - Hattiesburg, MS The rest of the building is long gone, but the front façade remains. At the top are dates of 1895 and 1907.
Lamar County Courthouse (New) - Purvis, MS For a modern courthouse, this one built in 1998 has better than average interestingness.
Multiple Ghost Signs - Hattiesburg, MS This abandoned business is located along E. Pine St., where US11 travels east from downtown Hattiesburg. Along the top is the name ouf the business, which includes Auto Machine Co. Along the front in green squares are the names of auto part manufacturers the mechanic used. In all of this, I think I also see more than two layers of Royal Crown Cola ads.
