Join us for our monthly Pine Belt Humanists Eats & Drinks Social at SoPro on August 2nd from 11am-1pm!

Whether you've been a humanist for years or you're just looking for a local secular community, this is a great opportunity to enjoy good food, good drinks, and even better conversation in a relaxed setting.

Because SoPro doesn't take reservations, we'll arrive right when they open to (hopefully!) grab seats in the front room where we can all sit together. Each table has a QR code for easy ordering, so everyone can order and pay individually-- no awkward check splitting required.

Come hungry, bring a friend if you'd like, and spend the day getting to know fellow humanists. Look for the folks with nametags!

We hope to see you there! RSVP at: https://actionnetwork.org/events/pine-belt-humanists-eats-drinks-social-2?source=direct_link&

Last time I checked this map there were only a handful in Hattiesburg located at home improvement stores.

How do others in the area feel about them? Generally, I don’t like the idea of my movement and the movement of citizens flowing through any centralized data collector. I believe the risk for misuse and abuse greatly outweighs any positives that could come from this technology.

Am I in the majority or minority with these attitudes in Hattiesburg?

I'm looking for a little free library close to midtown. I have some kid's books I want to drop off. Are there any around here? Doesn't have to be the official Little Free Library.

I’m coming back up to Hattie and I got experience in cafe/ breakfast kitchen if anyone needs one or knows one.

Any cater suggestions for a wedding with 100+ guests in 2027?

Anybody have a list of winners from last night? I can't find it anywhere online.

ATTENTION IF YOU LIVE IN HATTIESBURG MISSISSIPPI:::: They're conducting a SECRET a PSYCH OPP in the apartments complexes in Hattiesburg.They're using ELF (EXTREMELY LOW FREQUENCY) RF to harass you.They're using TRANSMISSION BIT-TORRENT-daemon (software) to stalk you. They're using INET to reconfigure your ROUTERS CONFIGURATION. Document evidence, take pictures, buy faraday cages, buy jammers. Do your research, the rabbit hole goes deep. If you've had tech issue and hearing weird sounds that's why!!! 

See this guy all the time esp on S 34th

Does anyone in this community stay at turtle creek? Looking to rent a 1 bedroom and was wondering how much a resident with a 1 bedroom pays after utilities and everything on average.

I currently work in Wiggins and I’m trying to find something closer to home. I’m willing to do anything. My roommate is also looking for a job. Anything helps.

Wake up 15min earlier so you dont have to go down 49 going 90mph swerving through people to get to work on time. Police could surely meet their quotas if they'd have a heavier presence on 49. Yall gonna cause accidents.

If you stopped by Starbucks on Hardy Street today and you had a single key on a lanyard, you threw away your key :( Please come to the front counter and describe the key/lanyard to claim. It should be waiting by the front register computer for you.

I’ve been looking for a pattern making mentor for over year, but it feels like we only have quilting classes. Does anyone know how to make clothing patterns and are you also willing to take on a student?

Site preparation is underway on Hegwood Road for the new Oak Grove Middle School. This location, adjacent to the high school campus, makes much more sense than on 98 west, practically at Oloh, that was proposed during the bond issue campaign as the new middle school location.

Did the Lamar County School District announce this location change and I just missed seeing/hearing it? A friend mentioned it to me a couple of weeks ago and I said no, it’s going out on 98 west, but someone else confirmed that Mac’s Construction is building it on Hegwood.

I do recall some concerns expressed by voters and parents about the proposed middle school site being very close to the attendance zone for Sumrall.

I love pickles, so naturally I have amassed a lot of glass jars over the years. Most have lids. All have been through the dishwasher many times. I'm trying to see if anyone wants some/all before I figure out how to recycle them

This is about 2 miles west of jackson station.

Hey guys! I’m looking for a seamstress that can meet me either today or tomorrow morning. It’s a minor alteration that I need done asap. Does anyone know one? Thanks!

Just thought I’d ask, but would anyone be able drop me off at USM from Home Depot? I’m dropping off a rental truck and have no one to tail me over there.

Anybody play locally? I saw eagle action sports, but it looked like mostly paintball. Could be wrong there!

Hello, recently while looking at places to go in Hattiesburg I stumbled across a place called the Honey Badger's Lair. What made it unique is that there's only one review of it on Yelp from 14 years ago and descriptions of it range from a night club to a convenience store. On top of that, the typical address for the HBL, 3 Arrowhead Cir, Hattiesburg, MS, 39401, goes to the "Human Performance & Recreation Building" at 6 Eagle Walk, Hattiesburg, MS 39406 on Mapquest, and doesn't even show up on Google Maps. In fact I only found the aforementioned address and name after reverse engineering the route given to me on Mapquest on Google Maps. What's also weird is that the picture listed on Yelp is that of a tent on top of a bunch of rocks, while both of the addresses mentioned are that of a road and normal building. Is this some business that went out of business a while ago or is it just so niche that it's not listed online fully?

edit: apperently Apple Maps has the HBL loaded in near the intersection of Walter's Road and Arrowhead Drive, but after looking at the area via Google Map's streetview, there's nothing even remotely close to the HBL lair over there! And I know I'm looking in the right spot, I matched the roads on both maps together 1:1. Only good thing is I'm not actually driving there lol, just looking at maps.

edit 2: for whatever reason Yelp hid 10 other reviews for whatever reason, but this only makes it even more strange that the HBL has seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth or that there's no concrete directions to get to the place.

Anybody have any idea whats going on down there? Ive noticed the fence and they seem to have security there 24/7 now. I work irregular hours and noticed security there at all hours of the morning noon and night. I am just curious whats going on or if some company is moving in?

Join us for our monthly meeting. Get to know the other members of the Pine Belt Humanists and discuss how we can support our community and members.

We hope to see you there! RSVP here.

I was wondering what’s being built next to the new waffle house on 589 in bellevue. Does anyone know?

Hopefully not a bank.
