A cast-iron tower in the middle of what is now a highway, tended for fifty-three years by Maria Younghans and then her daughter Miranda, one of the longest runs by any keepers in the country.

A one day festival on the Biloxi Town Green built around fresh Gulf seafood, cooking demonstrations, and live music, run to benefit the Biloxi Chamber of Commerce.
Biloxi called itself the seafood capital of the world on the strength of oysters and shrimp packed by hand, and brought in Croatian and Bohemian families and then Cajun labour to do it.
Iberville built a stockade on this bay and made it the seat of French Louisiana, a colony that on paper ran from the Gulf to Canada, governed from a sandy point in Mississippi.
