When we last past thru here, 15 or so years ago, it seemed a lot of high rise condos were being built. Happy to say that is not the case. While there are still many abandoned driveways, and steps to no where, single family home building has flourished. Most of them have a antebellum look to them, which helps promote the pre Katrina look. A good thing, a very good thing. We drove up and down scenic 90 enjoying the view. Stopped and walked thru some casinos we have spent many hours in. Not so much this trip.
On our way in yesterday we saw some strangely modified trucks. Rear bumper nearly dragging the ground with front end sticking way up high. Over sized rims, (think 26 or 28 inch). Really took a new useful pickup and ruined it. Have never seen any like these before. Must be a southern Mississippi thing. Well on our way down 90 we see more and more of them. Also some Tahoe's and Suburban's modified the same way. What the hell is going on? Then saw street information sign warning of delays due to citywide event. Not knowing, because have never heard of it, we were in town for a big show. More information HERE . No, we did not go to the event. But people were lined up along 90 to watch them go by. We just wanted to escape the traffic and noise (ie stereo competition). The bass would rattle you teeth from blocks away.
You just never know what you will see along the road...
