yeah, but you still get to check it out. Make sure you take 28 from 74 through fontana, don't take 129 from 74.

It's not. It's faster to go to hattiesburg. I have tried both on my way to New Orleans. Now if he wanted to visit you, he could go that route.

depends on what time you go through... it's 10 min faster to go through hattiesburg from your place to mine... BUT through hattiesburg and after you have lots of lights. not so the other way.

I am pretty sure he is taking interstate, so lights aren't an issue.
