You have to go to Rock City in the proper spirit. The underground "Mother Goose Village" (I kid you not) is a riot. Black light heaven.

And don't forget to buy a birdhouse . . . we have two, one for the front yard and one for the back . . .

I just went to the Frank Lloyd Wright entry on Wikipedia, and it showed two homes in Ocean Springs. One was completeley destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, and the other, which was next door was gutted. Both were hit by a 30' storm surge.

My older sister lives in Ocean Springs so I'll ask her where in town they were located. She lost her home in the storm, too, though their's was not an old wooden structure; it was a concrete block bungalow sitting on a concrete slab. Both their house and their neighbors' were 15' above sea level, but her neighbor's was sitting on top of 10' pilings. Since his first floor was also gutted, they guessed the wave must have been at least 30 - 35' high.

Hehehe

When we moved to Tennessee, that was the first thing we bought! It was way high in the front yard and all our friends thought it was hysterical. That was 20 years ago, and the poor old bird house has since bit the dust.
