SUMMARY: The Buuy City Council has unanimously decided to prohibit cannabis-related businesses from operating in the downtown area. This decision was made during a recent meeting after two residents expressed concerns regarding potential issues, including an influx of homelessness and the impact on tourism. Councilman Paul T. emphasized the importance of creating an entertainment district, while ensuring cannabis businesses remain allowed in non-residential zones. A developer had previously submitted an application for a dispensary on Jackson Street, which will be reviewed in August, as it predates the new ordinance.

SUMMARY: Restaurateur Robert St. John is transforming an iconic downtown Gulfport storefront, set to open late summer. After years of demand for his signature dining on the Gulf Coast, he is creating a community café in a 4,500 sq. ft. space formerly occupied by Triplet Day Truckstore. The new location will mimic his Hattiesburg establishment, the Midtown, but with a unique Gulf Coast twist. Plans include extra dining space for civic groups and a nostalgic diner aesthetic. St. John aims to hire about 50 new employees and will feature seafood dishes and a weekly breakfast menu, promising an exciting dining experience for locals.

SUMMARY: Super Bowl weekend kicked off at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis with a pro-am golf tournament featuring 17 professional football players, including Saints legend Ricky Jackson and 12 Hall of Famers. This event sparked a long-standing debate about which team had the better linebacking corps: the Giants’ “Big Blue Wrecking Crew” or the Saints’ “Dome Patrol.” Jackson jokingly noted the Giants’ Super Bowl wins as the differentiator. The tournament also included football icons like Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk, Bruce Smith, and Joe Horn. Excitement for Super Bowl weekend permeated both New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast.
