Development
Robert St. John can be quoted as saying, "The Hillendale subdivision of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was being constructed as the babies boomed. It was filled with the low-rate mortgages of Depression-born parents and the tall pines native to my corner of the South. Hillendale stretched from Howlin' Wolf's Highway 49 on the east to Eisenhower's Interstate 59 on the west." in the book "Growing Up in Mississippi".
