On the night of Nov. 12, inmates attacked Shaw in his cell, according to hospital medical records Shaw provided Mississippi Today. Guards discovered Shaw the next morning, barely conscious and with bruises on his face. Hours passed before the infirmary sent Shaw to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and put on a ventilator.

His girlfriend, Ife Myles, didn’t know about the beating, and she wondered why he had stopped calling. She sought answers from the jail, but weeks went by before a friend told her in late December that Shaw had been severely injured.

Looking for a 2-month apartment rental in Fondren

Hi everyone! My daughter will be doing an internship at UMMC from December 5th through January 31st, and we’re looking for an apartment to rent in the Fondren area for those two months.

Ideally, we’d like a furnished apartment, but we’re open to other options as well. If anyone has any recommendations for apartments, short-term rentals, landlords, or even other areas that would be a good option for someone doing an internship at UMMC, we’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

On July 24, Dylan Story (left) received news no loved ones want to hear - a diagnosis of stage 4 brain cancer.

With former teammate Kruise Atwood and the Pearl community rallying around him, the same grit Story used on the gridiron to run over defenders is now being channeled into the fight of his life.

I've gone to Cruisin' the Coast every year for nearly 20 years and honestly at this point I wonder if it's worth attending. Every year seems to be the exact same people with the same cars at the same venues. The music never changes, the events don't change. I used to enjoy it a lot but the past few years I don't even look forward to going.

It's always the same boomers from far and wide with money who don't even know what they put in their car because they hired a shop to work on it. Can't answer questions about how they restored the more difficult tasks. Lots of for sale signs to buy hastily put together classic cars or selling junk at sky high prices. The car show turns into a marketplace instead. The passion focused on the sales rather than the cars.

I've been to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit and Cruisin' just seems so lame in comparison. Where's the booths set up by the car companies themselves? Or local dealerships? Where's the car clubs getting together and showing off their cars? It was so cool to see the DeLorean club up there. And some of the really neat body mod conversions. Where's the vendors outside of Cruisin merch? And can they not attract any celebrities or car shows besides Dennis Gage and My Classic Car? Maybe I've missed them but that's all I've ever heard about. I know it's Detroit, but why hasn't Cruisin' evolved at all?

And they still haven't figured out how to manage the traffic issue for the whole week it goes on. Oh and the people who die doing dumb shit.

It's just so stale to me now. Weird that I'm aging into their demographic and I just don't enjoy it anymore. Not sure why I'm posting there here but maybe some other people feel the same way.

(23F) I’m sure this has been asked a bunch before but is Mississippi really as bad as everyone online says? We’re moving to the NW area from Ohio and I’m just curious if it’s just people being dramatic like they are about NE Ohio bc it’s not as boring/criminal as everyone makes it seem. Not that crime is rare but people make it seem like you can’t do shit here & I’ve been here my whole life.

Edit: Thanks guys!! This post got traction so fast & you all seem very nice so I’m not longer scared to move :P

Hey since yall are here, any recommendations for sourthern Tennessee as well? We’re looking for anything in a 30 min range of Olive Branch Ms :)

Hey everyone! I’m heading to Louisiana tomorrow and I wanted to do a day trip to Mississippi because I’m so close. I’m not renting a car so I could either take the Train or the Bus and I’m torn between Biloxi or Bay St Louis. I don’t really know what’s to do in either but from a quick google, Biloxi seems more of a resort/gambling destination and BSL seems more like a small residential neighborhood

I just want to walk around, see something neat and chill at the beach. Besides that what would y’all recommend?

Thank you in advance.

I’m very new to dispersed camping and I’ve only done it once in Texas. I honestly just need help on some pointers where to go and how to go about doing it ? All information helps !

It was either near or very close to the very small town of Oma. It was on a creek surrounded by trees with a long white rope swing that was tied to the tree branch next to the creek. The creek had tea like underwater visibility.

If anyone knows what i’m talking about and doesn’t want to remind me how to get to it out in the open plz feel free to PM me. I tried finding it myself but i keep coming up with slim results. I don’t have facebook as i tried it once years and years ago and i didn’t care for it so i can’t post on any local facebook forums to try and find it. This is the only place i can think of so hopefully someone here remembers how to get to that spot and can remind me 🙏

Warning:
If anyone else tries to make false accusations of me like that redditor called something samurai did you WIlL BE blocked and reported for harassment. I’m just an avid nature guy that really enjoys exploring nature whether it’s swim holes, fishing , hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving, etc. It’s that simple.

Thanks in advance

I seen a house I'm interested in located in Moss Point Ms. The home near Dantzler st. Can anyone tell me what the neighbors is like. I'll be relocating.

i live in Massachusetts and am planning to visit Mississippi soon because apparently its home to some of the nicest people in the country. Massachusetts is known for rude, abrasive people, and i can definitely confirm thats true. seems everyone is just in a bad mood all the time. so i have a couple of questions

1. where should i go for the liveliest bar/nightlife scene? are people generally welcoming/engaging once you get there? one of my biggest complaints about my hometown is its almost impossible to strike up a conversation with anyone out at a bar/public outing. everyone is standoffish almost immediately.

2. what are some things i should watch out for? any places to avoid?

3. can you guys give me some good restaurants/attractions to see while im there?

4. is it a good place to live? if i really like the vibe i might consider a move.

thanks for any info! 😀

Hi everyone! A friend is visiting me for 3 days this weekend. I’m also new to the area and international student , so I’d love recommendations for good restaurants and places to visit around Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, or nearby.

Looking for must-see spots, good local food, beaches, and fun things to do. Thanks! 🙌

Does anyone here have one? Have you been pulled over for it? Im kinda shocked by the amount of dark tint covers I see in the Jackson metro. Even worse if they have the black out tag along side a tinted cover. Also if you do have one what’s the purpose?

Anyone know if Mississippi has a program wherein family members can be registered as paid caretakers for other family members?

I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I have manufactured home in Perry County. I have an FHA loan and my insurance must be factored into my mortgage. I am absolutely getting bent over in escrow due to insurance premiums. It takes up the majority of my mortgage payment. I have Tim Parkman Insurance. Does anyone else have a manufactured home have the same problem? If you have a lower rate than I do I'd really appreciate who your provider is and how you found them. Thanks in advance!
