Langston Services: (662) 202-4378
It’s 1 A.M. and your keys are locked in your car, which you left running in your friend’s driveway for some reason. Who you gonna call? The Ghostbusters can’t help you, but Willie at Langston Services can—he’ll get you back on the road in a jiffy.
Oxford Taxi: (662) 701-7310
One cab ride is about a jillion times cheaper than a DUI. In addition to cheaper, it’s safer for everyone on the road. After a night of Irish Car Bombs, please let these responsibly sober folks drive you home—or wherever—safely!
OUT Bus Info: (662) 550-2039
This number is still on my speed-dial from the long period of time I had no car. I rode the bus religiously. The GPS info from the buses gives you a real-time arrival prediction for a bus’ arrival at a given stop. Bus arrival times can also be found online by navigating nextbus.com (and they have an app for smart phones).

Oxford Police Department: (662) 232-2400
“Protect and Serve,” among other things, means that a dispatcher answers the phone every time, and helps panicked citizens or those with questions or concerns. This number is handy. Please call it for NON-emergency issues only.

Because all kinds of people go to jail for things all the time. You do not want to be the drunk sobbing girl trying to figure out this number at 2 a.m. on the Square so you can go get your friend out of jail. Save it now, because “shit happens.”
Haven House: (662) 234-7237
You can call this number to find out days and times of AA and NA meetings. Addiction isn’t funny. If you save this number now, you could help to save someone’s life later.
