Talk:Biloxi, Mississippi

What is the source for the 40 foot storm surge?? This sounds more like a rumor.

The City is also mentioned in the song "Firecracker" by sleeper off the album "Please to meet you" Well it is also very hurricaney.

Biloxi does have a seawall with a 14 foot deep footing.

Pre-Katrina Pictures

Does anyone have any pre-Katrina pictures of Biloxi? It would be nice for the world to see what the city used to look like and let them know that it's not *just* a town that was heavily damaged. Chaotic42 00:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

History of City

Need more on the 19th and 20th Century history of City. Notably, the 1960 Beach riot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.28.255.70 (talk) 02:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Area?

The land and water area in the infobox look impossible; there surely is a mistake there. --Smeira (talk) 22:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

---The maps of Biloxi here are... lacking. The city is made up of a peninsula, a bay, and then some land on the north side of the bay. I'm guessing that the bay is counted as part of that water estimate. Chaotic42 (talk) 16:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Nickname?

What is the source for Biloxi's Nickname as "Seafood Capital of the World"? I'm from the area and I've never heard that used as a nickname before. I could be wrong, I can find no proof that it is not an official nickname but it just seems I would have heard of it before.--Kjrjr (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Mafia

Somebody should probably write something about the Dixie Mafia being based in Biloxi. I don't have quite enough information, but I would bet that they were somehow connected to Biloxi's casinos and such. Gtbob12 (talk) 13:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

The Dixie Mafia has never been proven to be a wide ranging organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.1.124.197 (talk) 15:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Keesler just the 81st Training wing?

Yes, This is true, but there is also a Major Air Force Reserve wing, the 403rd Wing. They have the latest in technology in C-130s and have two squadrons of them, tactical and hurrican hunting. If this could be added, I think it would be revelevant, just as relevant as the 81st Training Wing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.1.124.197 (talk) 14:12, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Education

I would like something added about the Catholic Diocese school district. I wouldn't mention this, but they have 3 of their schools in this city. Including a high school called St. Patricks. Its worth being mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.246.195.3 (talk) 14:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Damion Fletcher

I changed his slightly because it should reflect that his award was not an NCAA wide award, but a C-USA award. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.195.229.20 (talk) 13:37, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Alan Belcher

I feel that he is notable because of his ranking in the Mixed Martial Arts world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.246.195.3 (talk) 13:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Popp's Ferry Bridge collapse

Would it be ok if I created a subheading about the Popp's Ferry Bridge collapsing in Biloxi? Its big news there because it is a main source to the interstate in Biloxi and a barge hit it causing part of it to fall into the bay.
