Yesterday, we were planning to get up by Jackson, Mississippi, or Memphis, but were delayed by Liz's trip to a clinic as she picked up respiratory infection. Decided to drive out to Biloxi to spend the night at the Super 8 Motel right on the beach, where we had stayed four years ago.
We were interested in seeing how much recovery was made from Katrina. And there has been a lot. Of course, when we went it had just been over two years since the disaster.
Most of the casinos are back, and now completely land-based. Before they were sitting on huge barges, which, of course, were badly damaged in the hurricane. A lot more businesses also have rebuilt, but you still see lots of concrete pads making the former sites of structures.
At least US-90 is completely repaired as they were still working on it the last time we were there.
Nice Improvement. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
