Is The Wharf still open?
Posted: Mon March 2, 2009 07:39 PM UTC

My husband & I ate at The Wharf, in 1992, during a return home mission trip to hurricane Andrew. We have often talk about this night and how much we enjoyed the atmosphere there. We were wondering if The Wharf was still opened, since we heard casinos were down Under The Hill now.
So I guess my question is this, Are you opened. We are planning a trip to that area for our 35th wedding anniversary.
Just wondering,
Lloyd & Brenda Watkins

Weekend getaway
Posted: Thu February 12, 2009 03:56 PM UTC

Hello,

We are trying to match a midpoint trip between Houston-Atlanta (closer to Atlanta though), and since only MS and AL are teh two states, we are looking for destinations to go to. The month is February hence we do not want to be really cold, but Casino's and Museums are not our interest. I came across some interesting activities for camping in a cabin in Mississippi, but the ideal time is not February.

Just hoping to get some suggestions on possible activities around the area.

Fun destinations around alabama , if any would also help.
age group(25-30) about 5 people travelling.

Thanks,
Kiran

Margaret's Grocery
Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 04:10 AM UTC

I saw a documentary about Margaret's Grocery the other day and we are interested in visiting, since we may be doing a road trip of the Southern US next year.

I was wondering if anyone has seen it recently and whether Margaret and her husband Rev. Dennis are still alive. I can't find any recent information on the internet to see if they are still running the grocery/church.

Thanks :o)

Memphis

Heartbreak Hotel and Gracelands
Posted: Mon December 10, 2007 12:50 PM UTC

Hi

Does anyone know if there is an indoor pool at the Heartbreak Hotel, or is it outside?

We are only spending two nights there - we will be arriving late on Christmas Eve and will probably just crash out that night after a long flight, then we will be there for Christmas Day and night, before moving off. Is it really very bad in this area, and what, apart from the normal things, should we do to keep safe?

Ocean Springs

life and weather in Ocean Springs???
Posted: Mon June 18, 2007 03:44 PM UTC

We are considering moving to Ocean Springs. We are concerned about the amount of rainfall. We have lived in Florida where the amount of rain is comparable but there it rains in tremendous storms then clears off for the day. We live in Kentucky now where there is less rain but it is slow dreary drizzly rain that goes on for days without alot of accumulation. How would you describe it in Ocean Springs. So basicallly we would like to know if it sunny or dreary. How are the winters?

Shuttle Buses
Posted: Tue December 5, 2006 05:05 PM UTC

Are there any shuttle buses available at casinos anymore? We always took advantage of the shuttle buses to get around when we came down. The guys would take the cars golfing and we would hop on the shuttle buses to get from casino to casino. If no shuttle buses any other ideas how we could get around town now?

Thanks,

Kay

Vicksburg

Question regarding Military Park Monument
Posted: Thu June 15, 2006 04:44 PM UTC

My wife an I toured the Vicksburg Military Park two years ago. What a wonderful and touching tribute to the people who lived an dfought in that beautiful city.

We are from California and were traveling to visit military relatives in Biloxi MS. I am somewhat of a history buff and so we planned the visit to Vicksburg well in advance. As you enter the park-near the visitor center there is a monument that includes the names of the states that sent troops to fight there on behalf of the Confederacy. I was surprised to see "Maryland" on that monument. Can you provide any details about that, since Maryland was not truly part of the confederacy?

Thank you so much. We loved your city and the south in general. Hope to retire in the area in a few years.

Gulf Coast Road Trip!
Posted: Tue May 2, 2006 12:07 AM UTC

The fall, I'll be doing a road trip w/ my brother from Hollywood, Fl to our family home in New Mexico. I am thinking of taking I-10 through the Florida panhandle all the way to El Paso. I haven't heard from him about what he wants to see, but none of us are into amusement parks. Nature, history, art, and those kitcshy bits are the types of things I focus on when I road trip alone.

Are there sights I should not miss along this route?

Are there areas that are still not repaired from all of the hurricaine's last year that I should avoid ... or that I should stop in and lend a hand?

BTW- Crossposting in the Florida, Alabama, La, and Tx forums :)
