"Manly bar scene"??? LOL
Because of all the construction in the area, apparently the male/female ration is so heavily male that even homely girls are looking good to the men! In the article one waitress/barmaid said she had been getting guys' phone numbers scribbled on credit card receipts for weeks ... she said they are "all either married or lying" ... LOL

Gulfport was destroyed on 1969 by Camile and again in 2005 by Katrina.
Perhaps it is time to move town Inland.

Gulfport and its neighboring towns -- from Waveland in the west to Pascagoula in the east -- were epicenters of destruction when Katrina came ashore Aug. 29. But more than two months later, with the reconstruction in full swing, Gulfport has the feel of a latter-day frontier boomtown.
----Great for them. See, NO, thats all it takes is hard work. ( and this is not directed at the people in La that are hard workers anyway) Just the ones that haven't tried to even better themselves in the almost three monthes since.

And it will happen again. And when it does, just like right now, the federal government will tax you to pay to rebuild it.

Gulfport and the Florida Panhandle seem the get wiped out by hurricanes on a regular bases and the Fed. had to pay to rebuild.
At least with New Orleans it has only been wiped out once in the last 300 years.

More good news in the rebuilding of the Mississippi Gulf Coast....said Gulfport Police Capt. Pat Pope, ... "It's the Wild West, Tombstone. ... The streets are safe, things aren't out of control, but we do have a drug problem."
Doesn't seem to be such great news...

To: JRios1968
Doesn't seem to be such great news... The good news ... for Mississippi ... and for the rest of the country ... is that Mississippi is rebuilding itself ... and started doing it from the moment the hurricane struck.
Unlike Louisiana and New Orleans, Mississippians and their terrific Republican Governor Haley Barbour, and other officials, got the ball rolling immediately to rebuild their own towns and state ... without the hysterical whining and demanding behaviour, or any of the other truly loathsome things we have seen going on in New Orleans and Louisiana.
Three Cheers for Mississippi.
