Great video! I took my 18 and 21 year old to the Beau for Spring Break in March and we were saddened by the devastation. But we had a great time and tried to help out the local economy outside the casino. We ate at Mary Mahoney's and shopped at the Edgewater mall as well as other local shops. We will be traveling back to Gulfport with our church group the last weekend of May to volunteer at the Qween for Day event. Our hearts and prayers go out to all who are trying to get back to normal!!
Thank you for posting this video. I don't usually post but this is inspiring. I was born and raised in the Gulfport/Biloxi area. Now I'm 24 in Baltimore working on my PhD in physics. My classmates must be tired of me talking about how much I miss the beautiful, diverse coast. There's no place like it. At the beginning of Edgewater Village used to be a Haggen-dazs that me and my friends would ride our bikes to. I'm glad to see developement but I just hope the communtiy is maintained too!
I rode my Harley from North TX back home to Biloxi in Aug of 07. I was surprised at the amount of destruction still evident. I'm also proud that people are rebuilding without the hype that New Orleans is getting.
Your video is really telling. A great job of documenting.
wow, im moving to gulfport/biloxi area in july, im kind of nervous now that i see what it truly looks like. my fiance is on the naval base in gulfport, so i visit frequently but this is so sad.
Well it is definitely a region that is still rebuilding. Gulfport definitely has a lot of work to do along the beach, but up near the interstate it has returned to life as usual. There are plenty of restaurants, a huge wal-mart, sam's, outlet mall, incredible movie theater, etc. Obviously the closer to the beach you get, the more of this stuff you will start to see. The tidal surge is what did the majority of the damage that still hasn't been fixed.
I am the first, yay! I love this video, it's great. I really am proud of the progress of Biloxi, that strip mall I remember it still being gutted out from Katrina. When will Dillards reopen? Edgewater mall is cool. Thank you so much for the great video. The Hard Rock was super nice inside too. I can't wait to live there again, it was awesome! Take care, and thank you!
