I've been back a few times since the Big K and haven't seen anything BUT the Casino's. Everything else was gone, washed away, flattened, zip, zero, zilch, wasteland...........How positive and uplifting is that?

I was just talking to Mike and Jeanie about going over with them again. But there again, I'm sure all I would see is the Casinos....

I-, well you know me, would check to see if anything is playing, show wise, at the Beaux Rivage, Imperial Palace or the Grand.

If you ever get a hankerin' to see all those beautiful old plantation homes that used to line hwy 90 along the beach- you don't have to drive as far. Beach drive in St. Andrews over here is one of the few spots left that has comparable homes along the water.... I miss all those grand dames in Biloxi. I wish I had the foresight to have taken pictures.

If you come in through Ocean Springs, now that the bridge has reopened, I hope you are not afraid of heights. Wow, its up there!

Of course there is always the Super WalMart up at the Interstate.

Hmmm, I think I will.

I guess if I would drag my butt out of the Imperial Palace I'd see what was going on with the rest of Biloxi.....​
