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.

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 &quot;Standard of the World.&quot; I believe this is a Bull Durham Tobacco ad. On the right, I see &quot;Shoes.&quot; At one time, I suspect this building was taller and we only see the lower portion now.
