We began the day today in Gulfport, Mississippi. We drove down west the 90, a state highway that goes along the coast of Mississippi. It was a beautiful drive, regardless of the overcast skies. The one thing though was that the sheer devastation of Katrina is still very apparent here. Most people think of New Orleans in relation to Katrina, but the towns of Gulfport, Biloxi, and other coastal points along the coast of Mississippi got completely obliterated. When we looked left out our windows--it was all concrete pads and rubble where homes and businesses used to thrive.
They can't give away waterfron property here right now, and it's abuntantly clear that no one is buying. Can you believe that waterfront property is selling for merely $170,000 for around 3 acres?! In Wilmington, NC it would be $1-$2 million.
I've included some pictures above...the first 2 are a couple from the Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile, Alabama to cheer y'all up a bit.
