Hotel that Elvis used as vacation spot, Capone as hideaway soon reopening in Ocean Springs
SUMMARY: The Gulf Hills Hotel and Resort in Ocean Springs is nearing the end of its reconstruction after nearly 50 years of closure, revitalizing its historic legacy. Opened about a century ago, it attracted celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley who valued its seclusion. The resort featured 66 rooms, an 18-hole golf course, waterfront villas, a marina, and later became a “Dude Ranch.” Notorious figures like Al Capone are rumored to have connections to the property, which endured hurricane damage and a fire. Rain Residential acquired it in 2021, preserving its hotel tradition against alternate development plans. Now, restoration efforts move towards the exterior.

Mississippi State drops first SEC game of the season, falling to Florida 45-28
SUMMARY: The Mississippi State football team lost 45-28 to Florida in their first conference game, despite improving their offensive execution with 480 yards and four scores. The Bulldogs struggled defensively, allowing 503 yards from Florida’s dual-quarterback attack, which included Graham Mertz’s efficient 201 yards passing. While Mississippi State’s rushing game showed promise with 236 yards, their defense faltered, failing to generate sacks and allowing too many explosive plays. Head coach Jeff Lebby expressed frustration over the defensive performance. With this loss, the Bulldogs face a three-game losing streak and will play No. 1 Texas next week.
