Old and Older US49 over Black Creek in Brooklyn Abandoned bridge on Old-Old-US Route 49 in Brooklyn, Mississippi. This through truss bridge was built in 1955, but bypassed by the nearby a nearby concreate bridge in 1994.

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.

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.

Post Office - Hattiesburg, MS Thus US Post Office in Hattiesburg is part of the Hub City Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places:

U.S. Post Office, 115 West Pine St. Art Deco. One-story granite and limestone building, three-bay center section with setbacks, hard-edged low relief ornamentation surrounding entrance bays and along the roof edges. 1933-34.

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 &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.

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.

The Spike that Binds This sculpture is a life-sized man made entirely out of railroad spikes. It's located at the Hattiesburg, MS train station and was unveiled by artist Jason Kimes in 2010 as part of the stations centennial celebration.
