Sounds like the original End Zone on Hardy St in Hattiesburg (a lot like our Landing) I loved that place in the late'70s-mid '80s, it was packed w/ students every night. Nothing but limited beer selection (draft or long necks) pool tables and a bath tub in the john to piss in. They would charter buses to USM road games and charge students to ride and sell out every game. This was back before the number of fans fell below a dozen

I hope he knocks it out of the park. I'm all about local people with local businesses for Starkville.

Same here....................

I think he will make a go of it. He has put a lot of work into it and it turned out really well. Give it a shot

Maybe. You might not recognize me now without my sweet mullet. It was some good times.

I chuckle to myself occasionally about some of the stuff that happened back in the day at The Landing. Like the time this hot chick jumped up on the bar and started dancing. Guys started to offer her dollar bills to take it off. She danced back and forth on the bar working the crowd and danced right into a ceiling fan running full blast with her head. Don't know how it didn't knock her out or off the bar but it ended the dance session. She was covered in probably 20 years worth of accumulated dust from the fan.

I once saw someone pour a fungus out of a newly opened natty light bottle (2 for $1.50) that literally crawled across the bar.

You're on point with the details so your user name is a bit misleading.

Were you there the night some guy discharged a fire extinguisher inside? It was wall to wall people and pretty damn funny. The whole front room was a white cloud of powder and the powder tasted bitter as hell. Everybody was rinsing out their mouth with beer and spitting on the floor. The most surprising thing about the whole thing was that The Landing had a working fire extinguisher.

Some of my best memories of The Landing took place in the parking lot.

Many, many nights, it was like a fight scene from Roadhouse... with more beer bottles, and fewer roundhouses. So many late nights (and afternoons) spent in that bar, and somehow the fights are my most vivid memories. I was a spectator mostly.

Every time I drive back from a trip to Tupelo, I get nostalgic looking at the rubble that sits there now and think, "Huh. I used to piss right there."

Are you John Bond?

Could a bar like The Landing even exist today? I worked there from 85-90 and only pissed inside if it was raining really hard.

I drank there, on and off and mostly in the parking lot, from 85-90. I always heard that John Bond worked there but never made a confirmed personal sighting that I can remember.
