What I found surprised me: quiet gravel roads, small farm stores, and families who raise cattle and hogs on open pasture and sell straight to you. Buying beef and pork in bulk can stock your freezer for months, save trips to the store, and give kids a real look at where dinner comes from.

Hattiesburg bookstore The Author Shoppe is closing. See details on sales

The final chapter is nearing for The Author Shoppe, a locally owned bookstore that has provided Hattiesburg with reading material and community events for seven years. It will officially close its doors for good on Dec. 31. The Author Shoppe announced its closure on its Facebook account on Oct. 23.

It hurts, but we are closing down our doors on Dec. 31." The Author Shoppe first opened on Front Street in downtown Hattiesburg in 2020 before relocating in 2025 to a hard-to-miss blue house at 709 Hardy St. Along with a wide selection of books, the store had a beverage menu that included coffee, tea, soda and beer.
