Just drove by Camp Shelby last weekend after a good little visit to Jackson; loved the old neighborhood there. <br /><br />It's interesting that you mention having to talk about the hurricane. It seems like any sustained conversation I have with someone here eventually comes around to it and what that person was doing and how they coped. It is fascinating, but I feel like an interloper on someone else's tragedy sometimes. Just today I was talking with an Air Force friend about how enormous the commissary is that just opened this week, so she told me about how the Keesler base had a beautiful newish BX open just a few years before the hurricane, but after the storm so many jobs on base were cut because there was no place for people to work. Now they are fighting to get more of the jobs back. And this weekend a new aquarium was announced - but in D'Iberville, not on the beach. Although I don't have any standard to compare it to before, I kind of like the sparseness of buildings along 90. But slowly things are returning. The new art museum is set to open soon - a fascinating piece of architecture . . .Emily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01132106976424535611noreply@blogger.com
