EVERYONE GOES TO
HOLLYWOOD
Pamela T Mitzelfeld
In McComb MS , everyone goes to Hollywood.
They always have.
They always will.
Some things never change. McComb is one of those things.
Frozen in time. Seemingly motionless.
Life marches past it like a parade.
In 1872, Colonel H. S. McComb, President of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad Company located in New Orleans, needed more land for expansion of his growing railroad company. And with that end in view, he purchased land where the City of McComb now stands, and moved his railroad company offices and shops here.
