I have taken to walking & studying for exams over the years...here are a few photographs of my final exam route. The picture featured above was taken just prior to sunset one block north of our apartment. Unfortunately, this tree has since been cut down as the land is now under development. Michelle and I are unaware of what monstrosity will take its place, but it's difficult to imagine anything more picturesque than this landscape.

These tracks are also prominently featured along the aforementioned final exam route. Today, Hattiesburg is commonly referred to as the "Hub City" because it provides South Mississippi with ample business opportunities, educational and medical institutions, hospitals as well as clinics, and an army training base. The town got its start; however, as a railroad town located in the dense yellow-pine forests of South Mississippi. Tracks such as the ones pictured above brought the lumber companies, a booming economy, and jobs to those residing in the area.
