Still Active Military Surplus Shops?

What shops across the state are still open that have decent military surplus? Went to two locations just outside of Hattiesburg that Google said were open—found one that wasn't an actual surplus shop, and one that was boarded up. I was told that Covid killed off a lot of them, so I have no clue what's actually still here.

I'm doing increasing amounts of outside work in woods/fields and learning how to hunt for the first time, and I'm in desperate need of sturdy clothes with lots of pockets (I've already got orange high vis hunting gear so not worried about that stuff). Mostly looking for things like boots and pants, and maybe some eye/ear pro and a nice jacket. I also dress alt and kinda punky so I'd likely be incorporating this stuff into my daily wear.

Also also I've just never been to one before and would like to see one, even if it doesn't have exactly what I'm looking for lol

The availability of eBooks in Mississippi's library system sucks

I guess it's the Mississippi eBook Library Partnership that provides eBooks through library apps like Libby. Just about every book I search for comes up nothing. It's not just current books, older as well. I still have a library membership from out of state, and when I use that card number in Libby, I can find anything I search for. This is really sad for Mississippi. I don't know why we don't have more expansive access to eBooks.

Expired tags - Moving States

Not sure if anyone else has been in this boat. My tags are overdue by five months and I am having to make an emergency move to Missouri.

My car is leased and registered in Mississippi.

Will I be able to get tags in another state or do I need to pay for the Mississippi tag first then register in another state?

Best ways to meet/make friend with young adults in the Jackson area?

This is all very preliminary but there’s a possibility I might end up back in Mississippi, in the Jackson area, for a job I applied for that’d be a very good opportunity in the field I work in.

My question is, as someone’s who in theirs late 20s - early 30s age group, how easy is it to meet others in the Jackson area (including the nearby suburbs) through various activities/social clubs, say stuff for running, watching movies/attending readings, playing tennis, etc. (some of the activities I’m interested in). 

I’ve previously lived in MS - specifically the Delta — for close to four years a few years ago after college for a job. I’m very much romanticizing my time in MS but I do miss the close-knit group of friends I had there, sort of making up my own fun, such as random/aimless drives to explore new places, as well as the small town vibes/easy access to nature. It was nice getting to really feel part of the community there and there were times people would check in on me if they hadn’t heard from me. The low cost of living was also very appreciated haha. 

Grad school and a post-grad school fellowship took me to the East Coast and one of the things I’ve enjoyed about living here are all these different activities/social clubs I get to attend where I can meet new people. That said, since I'm just in a fellowship, I'm very much in a transitional phase and not sure if I'll be able to stay in the East Coast (all dependent on job hunting).

Aside from day trips to Jackson when I still lived in the Delta, I’ve never really spent much time in Jackson. I’m semi-familiar with it - as well as living in the Deep South - so it wouldn’t be culture shock - and I’d imagine there’s a different vibe living in a large MS city rather in the rural MS Delta. Having lived in the Delta, I'm familiar with issues of crime, poor roads (among other things) that are also problematic in Jackson.

I’d love to read people’s experiences/perspectives on this if you’ve done it before.

Thanks!

Things to do in Batesville Area

Coming to Mississippi from Oklahoma to visit some family for the holiday. Is there anything to do in the Batesville area (or surrounding towns) in the next few days? Any ideas of places to eat or any night life is appreciated!

Does not have to be in Batesville specifically, we can drive anywhere. We are just having trouble finding much online.
