SUMMARY: Some neighbors in Hattiesburg are asking the city to consider renaming East Hardy Street to River Avenue. Attorney and longtime resident Erik Lowrey reminds people that the road was not always busy and no one knew it as East Hardy. He suggests that referring to it as River Avenue would be more appropriate. Currently, sections of the road still bear the name River Avenue, near the river. The renaming proposal is still under consideration by the city.

A public hearing will be held at the Hattiesburg Planning Commission meeting on Aug. 2 at the Jackie Dole Sherrill Community Center at 1 p.m.
