// January 13, 2011 – We take a drive from Waveland to Gulf Port – Rolling Shoe Box | Rolling Shoe Box //
Love the sunset from Buccaneer state park! This is strange country, most of the lots are vacant or just have stilts that used to have homes set on them. The city of Waveland is in bad shape financially and otherwise. Waveland has many strip malls where sections are completely gutted by bad weather and vandalism. This place looks like the remains of a town that has been long since deserted and looted. Rather than tearing down these malls, they seem to be rebuilding them by renting them out one section at a time. They wait for a renter, the tenant then guts and replaces his section of the building leaving the rest to rot until someone else rents another portion. This makes for one ugly shopping center! The people seem to be more worried about the beaches and parks than the town as the beaches are really built up nice and should be open this summer. Pass Christian, and Gulf Port seem to have invested in the infrastructure first as they look better, but they are lavishing huge dollars on their beaches now. I guess this area is trying to lure people in via the recreational opportunities and hoping they will fall in love with the area blind to the venom of nature and rebuild here. They can forget about the wealthy seniors though, as old laddies live to walk their dogs on the beach!
Good evening and good night!
Good evening and good night!
