Review of McComb, Mississippi


McComb
Star Rating - 6/18/2015
I live in Virignia but own property in Brookhaven (about 19 miles north of McComb) and have friends in McComb and Brookhaven. I think McComb is a gem of a town. It is a prosperous small Southern City will a forward looking outlook. It has many industries and a robust business base. It is located on I-55, has freight rail and scheduled Amtrak serice; it has a sophiscated hospital and is a medical and shopping hub for a multi-county area. It has many beautiful in town neighborhoods and nice homes on acreage just outside town. The countryside around McComb is gorgeous (lakes, rolling hills, farmland). Percy Quin State Park is an excellent facility for golf and outdoor recreation and is located a few miles south of McComb. McComb is 90 minutes from downtown New Orleans and via I-55 and is 1 hr 15 minutes to the New Orleans International Airport. Jackson and Baton Rogue are also 90 minutes away. Summers are no hotter than Northen Virginia where I live and the weather from Oatober-April is gorgeous. Overall I am very impressed with McComb.

This must have been put here by a realtor. The crime in McComb is outta sight, there are very bad race relations, and there is NO economy. None. Yes, it is close to New Orleans, which just means you can get shot in McComb, or you can get shot in New Orleans. To me, this is not exactly a plus, except that the food is a lot better in New Orleans. The weather? It's as hot or hotter than Florida, has as much humidity, there are no cooling ocean breezes, and the summer is a lot of fun. Hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes. Yay!
