SUMMARY: Pat Murphy, a local of Bay St Louis, has created a photo book and memoir capturing the history of the city since the 1920s. The book showcases the changes the city has undergone following storms like Hurricane Camille and Katrina. Murphy was inspired to create the book after seeing the impact of the hurricanes on the city, and he worked with the Hancock County Historical Society to accomplish this goal. The book illustrates the history of the city, not just the devastation caused by the storms, but also the growth and resilience of the people who live there. Murphy and the Historical Society will be doing a book signing event at Second Saturday in Bay St Louis.

SUMMARY: Phase 2 of the Bayou Lacroix Boat Launch improvement project has commenced in Bay St. Louis, following the successful completion of the initial boat ramp a few years ago. This phase includes extending the bulkhead and installing a new kayak launch, enhancing access for kayakers and anglers. The $150,000 project is funded by the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust, prompted by the need for amenities after Hurricane Katrina. The boat launch, frequently utilized by residents, will facilitate easier access to the Bay of St. Louis and the Jordan River, expected to be completed within four weeks, just in time for summer.
