School supplies can be expensive; several school districts easing parents' minds
SUMMARY: Several school districts are providing free school supplies to students this year, easing the financial burden on parents. For instance, a typical school supply list for one child can total around $73, excluding likely forgotten items. Some parents spend up to $150 per child when including additional essentials like book bags and clothes. This initiative has been welcomed as a significant relief for families, particularly those with multiple children. Additionally, Mississippi’s tax-free weekend begins this Friday, further alleviating back-to-school expenses, although it doesn’t cover all school-related items.

Nick's Friday PM Forecast 11/1
SUMMARY: Happy Friday, Pine Belt! November is here, and I hope you enjoyed HalloweenโI certainly did with some candy. Recently, we received half an inch of rain after a three-week dry spell, with lingering showers in areas like Pike County. However, expect mostly cloudy skies with just a few sprinkles, so enjoy Friday Night Lights without worry. The tropics are also changing as hurricane season wraps up, with low pressure expected but unlikely to impact South Mississippi. Remember to prepare for earlier sunsets at 5 PM, but we should stay warm despite the shorter days. Enjoy your weekend!

Sawmill Square in Laurel expected to welcome Hobby Lobby store
SUMMARY: Hobby Lobby is set to open at The Sawmill Square Mall in Laurel, taking over the former JC Penney location. This development is seen as a significant boost for both the mall and Laurel’s economy, as city leaders hope it revitalizes the area. The presence of Hobby Lobby is anticipated to attract more tenants and encourage shoppers to stay local, reducing the need for residents to travel to neighboring markets like Hattiesburg. With plans to enhance existing businesses, Mayor Johnny McGee is optimistic that the mall can regain its vitality. The store is expected to open in early 2025.
