Lived there for 8 years you only went to the bad areas and it’s definitely not as dangerous as you depicted not even in the ghetto lol

You were not on the “real” streets. You were on the lowered socio-economic level (poor) side of town. Everywhere in Mississippi is not full of “crime and poverty “. Go back to Florida to train your wife to get out of hood situations and leave other states alone. There’s plenty of crime and poverty there! If you “don’t wanna be” in Mississippi, please move on!

You drove into some of the worst places and no carjacking occured there. You missed the train depot, Lucky Rabbit, Chain Park, City Park, great architecture, and great businesses of retail and food. You drove within a couple of blocks of these places. You missed Hardy Street and Midtown. We do have a hispanic population, but they are not restricted to one neighborhood. Nobody saw your out-of-state tags and freaked (or targeted you for crime). We have two universities and a great military base. We are used to visitors. Too bad you missed a very easy-to-find visitors center. So sad you came to Hattiesburg and missed seeing it and experiencing it. You missed the Long Leaf Trace and murals.

Your sarcastic remarks make me not want to watch your other videos. I've lived in Mississippi my entire life. It's the same as any other place, good and bad areas and people. It is sad the way the older part of town is today, but this is only 10 percent of Hattiesburg. You can go to any town and highlight the bad areas. I lived in Hattiesburg in the 80's and 90's. And spent a lot of time there growing up in the 60's and 70's. The neighborhoods you go into were very nice when I was younger. At the tower you saw there was a Farmer's coop at that intersection where we would go and get seeds, flowers and things my mother would grow. On the left there was a boxing gym I believe. On Main street we did all our shopping at the stores there were on it. Down on Bouie and toward Pine street were several car parts stores etc.. where my father would go and get his parts for our cars etc. It's sad seeing all the businesses gone. The downtown had several large building that were torn down for parking areas. One of the mayors in the 70's or 80's owed a business down town and he poured money into down town trying to make it better. The police station you pass was the Methodist Hospital before 1980 or so. It moved to West Hattiesburg in the 80's. I was there for a few days in 1970 for pneumonia. I remember it had wooden/wicker wheel chairs.

Yes please tell us how bad Hattiesburg is Florida man.

Stop telling her how to drive. Back seat drivers are a bit annoying.

Why you didn't show the nice areas....

Should’ve went through oak grove. Hattiesburg is absolutely gorgeous

1:42 thank you for showing my late grandmother’s home she was a immigrant from Haiti and I remember going with her to do yard work cook and clean for a lawyer that made sure she was paid well back then …I grew up in that house straight ahead all my childhood I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels etc lol I haven’t seen this side of town in years because I worked a lot.. if you all come back through and want some different footage of different Hattiesburg areas let me know I have extra camera and couple keys to the city ..just to show what most wouldn’t even know about Hattiesburg… or meet at midtown and interview someone from Hattiesburg… your videos help ppl in many ways …never know who you saved mentally

I took a shot everytime you said “Hattiesburg, Mississippi”…..I blacked out within 3 minutes

Oh Jesus,stop singing!

Those are pretty descent areas ,stop downgrading the hoods bruh

Definitely looks safer than Jackson.

Not the real streets of Hattiesburg at all. Very misleading video.

Are all people from floridia, aka "new isr@elistan" so dense. Having witnessed the so-called "mean streets" of Hattiesburg, I kind'a sort'a wanna live there now.

This is my hometown and you game the worse depiction ever!!! Where are the universities? Stayed only on the Eastside? Very poor representation

You show Hattiesburg like it's 100 percent poverty areas. That is so not true. Hattiesburg is a beautiful place. It's a college town, full of life. This makes me sad. You are not representing the whole city, Totally NOT Southern Life!!

We understand y'all need subscribers and views

After hearing you sing this "Mississippi" song so many times- I had to turn the audio off. please next time omit the "Cornball" attempts at being entertaining. some sort of useful information would be more tangent. p.s. your expensive car takes speed bumps like a crate.

It's looks so impressive when you explore those states.than doing Texas

Looks beautiful

And he is in Hattiesburg. Not Jackson you will get jacked in Jackson. And here is a good solution to not getting car jacked. Lock your doors

I was born and raised around Hattiesburg area and this what he is showing is what a lot of people don't see. And a lot just like Jackson has gone to ruins. Crime has gone up, homelessness up, people trying to get their kids into good schools because Prentiss and bassfield schools exists. Yes Hattiesburg has beautiful and terrible places. Did you know that cane break electric customers get their lights turned off more than any project areas around. Some don't even have furniture in those huge homes. They living well beyond than what they actually can afford. All because the wife wants to let others know where she lives.

The "tower" you liked is where there was a pet crematorium in the early 1900's.

but also Jose we're tired of Florida

601 📍

What you're showing is not a bad area at all. That's only 5 percent of Hattiesburg. There are many pristine areas here.

Surprised you didn't do Biloxi or Gautier

Yep. You showed the old parts of town.

I can't believe that I just waisted 30 minutes of my life on this video 😮

Name After my Grandma.Kool.

Yeah, this dude sucks. Constantly worried about car-jackings really speaks volumes about where he's from. I almost wish it would have happened to them. But at least he was nice enough to teach his girlfriend how to drive. Maybe one day, babe, you'll be allowed to leave his direct line of view.

What is he talking about this dude has no clue what Hattiesburg is all about. Hattiesburg is the most laid back city. No one going to jack your vehicle for driving like a grandma. Bro than on top of that what the hell are you doing in the old part of town and no one cares about your out of state tag wow

This guy lives his life in complete fear lol it’s not that dangerous bro. No one’s going to surround the car and take it 🤣

Y’all come off as racist.

Lol, "Dang it Woman," sound like a true Southern Person

ahhh bring it to purvis

I had to cut it off halfway through, because you were so SCARED!!

Where are you? Im from down town Hattiesburg

Asphalt

🤡

Turn signal is loud!

Hey I need me Hattiesburg woman ❤️👌🏿

and KAtie LOL

Do more Alabama, Georgia Tennessee & Mississippi. forget about Texas as your channel is southern life.

Before your visit to Hattiesburg, your ignorance preceded you.

Mississippi & Alabama are similar.all of them are flat,same soil& water systems. nice thanks Jose🙏

I was born in Hattiesburg, spent a lot of time there but from Mount Olive, Ms. Hattiesburg was always thought of a very decent place to be as a young teen. I recently moved here from Illinois..... Hattiesburg is like a ghetto these days. Yeah it's some tiny little nice areas... Roads are jacked up like you wouldn't believe. Cloverleaf Mall should be torn down. Turtle Creek Mall just shocked me. A guy of someone I knew in Illinois was here right before I moved back was saying Hattiesburg was ghetto now... I said he was a lie..... If I ever see him again, I owe him a huge apology. They should rename the place Hatersburg.

as a black...................... ill pass

Totally a miss representation of Hattiesburg!! Car jacking dose not Occur here IF it ever happens it’s a rare occasion! JACKSON, MS is a totally different story! Fact check yourself before you start spreading false information about a town! Nobody is going to run up to your and try to steal it dude! Hattiesburg is the HUB city of Mississippi and is VERY diverse city! There are people from all walks of life here!

@southernlife FYI…. I’m from Hattiesburg Ms…… we do not “Car Jack” in the city (that is not a reported crime) …. We can care less about an out of state tag…. We also have nice cars as well… so I’m sure nobody cares about this “nice car” with an OOS tag that you are riding around in!! 😂 That is nothing new to us natives…. BTW …. You are only covering majority of the west side of the city (near Petal) and you’re riding near Main Street near a “Vintage” part of the city… of course things may seem a little shabby…. if you travel a little further out towards the University or Hwy 98 you would find sightings that may be to your liking….. My home city is not as “rough” as you speak of it and maybe before you randomly “cruise” a city you should do your research of said city, like the rest of the travelers who visit and record their journeys…. 😑🙄

Why didn't you take her in the white folk era

you're the new crocodile Dundee

The Muppets

You looking good, leaving! Got tired of hearing you trying to sing those words. I could actually feel when it was about to happen again and would cringe and hit the forward button. I don’t envy your wife going on road trips with you.

I liked watching a little bit of the video. First half shows a nice town. You're such a SCARED INDIVIDUAL THOUGH, no street smarts whatsoever. Maybe this shouldn't be your forte.

Actually plenty of locals work in the Chicken plants along with various immigrants, mostly Mexican but also Southeast Asian, Somalian etc. And they are of course full of chicken poop! 🌹🌺

Had to bail. Couldn't take the song dude kept be repeating. Nauseating.

bad-faith video

I would never trust any of there videos

This is not the true Hattiesburg!

its stilll racists today

Ghosts of Mississippi....where I don't wanna be..

This video was sooooo boring & uncalled for. There's so much to see in Hattiesburg but you wasted 30 minutes driving 15 mph in circles. Ridiculous... and to top it off you had nothing to talk about, therefore you kept singing that song. Gave me a massive headache.

I dropped a dollar on a Mississippi street once, and it raised the states GDP 4%

I'm from Hattiesburg but, I now live in Syracuse NY. You are egregiously biased about this city, as it has made great strides to combat racism, as well as crime. All this rambling on about car jacking, and poverty is highly exaggerated on your part. I've seen horrendous crime in small cities, but you should know the stats before you try to analyze the situation. Just because you're in Mississippi, does not mean that someone wants your car, or your completely biased opinion!!😮

I used to live there but even in its current state its still way nicer than Mobile, Fairfield or Birmingham. I have been all over the country and for all of Mississippis flaws its alcohol is still cheaper than Alabama who still uses those dumbass ABC stores. I would probably take Arkansas over Alabama as well even though Little Rock is easily redneck capital of the universe.
