COAST CITIES AND CRUISING
There was quite an array of events scheduled during the week of
October 5-12, which is the annual event known as “Cruising the Coast”
America’s largest block party. The County and City Officials in each of
the three coastal entities need to pat themselves on the back merely for
the welcoming way that each City and County has put out the “welcome
mat” to our cruising visitors during the past week and support for the
last eighteen years. Good food, historic cars, great music, beautiful
weather and scenery, golf, casinos, great hotel accommodations, and
good clean fun supported by the wonderful people of the entire
Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Hopefully, each cruising visitor to our Mississippi Gulf Coast has
enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing, and safe experience and will certainly
leave here with nothing but positive thoughts and experiences serving as
“first-line ambassadors” for the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast and the
State of Mississippi.
The week of October 5-12 has been another opportunity for each of us
to show our visitors just what “True Southern Hospitality and Charm” is
all about. Even if we are not directly involved in the hospitality,
restaurant, or some other supportive business, we all need to
understand that many of us are transplants to our area, and hopefully
our patience, kindness, and outright support of the many visitors will
have served to let our visitors know just how much they are appreciated
and hopefully each will go back home to the 40+ states that are
representing and tell their whole state that “ya’ll need to go to
Mississippi.” The people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast are the nicest,
most polite, accommodating, and greatest people that I have ever
experienced, what a compliment! . Bob Usey can be reached at
