SUMMARY: A toy store in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, has rededicated its statue after it was stolen last year. Miner’s toy store held a ribbon cutting ceremony for its newly replaced statue, with the help of the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce and community fundraising. The dedication event saw a large turnout of children and their parents, who enjoyed face painting, treats, music, and more. The store owner, Mira Lee Miner Fur, and her daughter, Alice, expressed gratitude for the community’s support and said it was heartwarming to see everyone come together to bring back the statue and restore positivity. The original statue, dedicated to the store’s late original owners, Mr. and Mrs. Minor, was from 2015.

Davis Bayou dredging almost finished after years of complaints
SUMMARY: After almost 20 years of complaints from residents, the dredging project for Davis Bayou in Jackson County is nearing completion. The initiative, driven by homeowners since Hurricane Katrina, faced significant delays, with residents even funding permits since 2008. Despite frustrations, progress has finally been made, as a $690,000 contract was awarded to Breakwater Marine Construction in 2023, though it took over a year to start. Recent efforts have accelerated work, and as of now, the contractor is close to finishing the dredging, marking a long-awaited relief for local homeowners seeking better access to the water.
