I took my father to see the ZZ Top concert on Friday, November 4, 2022, and we had an awesome time. Although beer was $30 a pitcher, it was definitively available for purchase. Although I paid for actual seats, almost everyone stood up when the band started. Me standing only 5 foot tall, I was at a great disadvantage at this point. However, I decided I would walk as far to the front of the seats as I could.

If you like peace and tranquility this is a great...
Read moreThe facilities and grounds were beautiful, but once inside everything slowly unraveled. The staff was rude and I can only assume they are departmental employees because most of the responses to my inquires was "that's not my job!" The waitstaff fumbled through their service as though they were lost, I cannot fully blame them as the young who appeared to direct them also seemed lost. Then a fellow co-worker lost money from his pocket, not much to be concerned about, but the waiter who picked the money up disappeared and did not show back up to return it once he was identified as the waiter who picked the cash up. I feel sorry for the tax payers of Hattiesburg, their...
