Elaine is a Gulf Coast Treasure. Thank you for sharing our Gulf Coast Heritage. This is an excellent tribute. I miss seeing the shrimp boats on the horizon at night. I am listening to Jimmy Buffet and Rodney Crowells versions of Stars on the Water circa 1978 and it takes me to a sacred time and place. Jimmy Buffets song, 'one particular harbour '.
They basically skipped right over the 1980s, which was the time period I spent down there. I was hoping to see some footage from my days there, but it's still a good video. I enjoyed it.
My Grandfather was good friends with Jimmy Love and was the manager of the Buena Vista for years. And years. My mom actually rode out hurricane Camille at the hotel with the rest of the family because their house was right on the water on the back bay. My family’s roots on both sides go back to long before the civil war there. I moved away when I was 6 but still love going back to visit although things have changed so much! Thanks for the video
Nice video. I grew up in Gulfport, MS (before the area became a gambling mecca) and I despised it.... Now, I would give anything to go back and re-live that era, and I can't get enough of the history of this area and love it... Funny how things change over time...
What an absolute disgrace to completely ignore the civil rights movement. Notice how the lady recounting the performers at her father's restaurant didnt name a single black performer, even though several were pictured? Not a mention of slavery or the wade-ins. You cant just ignore these things and pretend they didnt happen. Shame.

Know what you mean. I was there in the early and mid 70's. I loved it there.

I always lived south of New Orleans, but spent many weekends on the Gulf Coast, and still go. We call it Cajun Vegas.

Great to see you Elaine. You look great.
Im irish Italian from south Louisiana and always enjoy visiting Biloxi
Home of my ancestors, the Harkness and the Morris families. They were pioneers of Biloxi. I love this historical video. Thank you so much !
Video gets to Camille and leaves out everything since except for gambling and Katrina. Sad.
Yes. I was hoping to see something from my time there, which was the 1980s.
Hmm. I've lived here for 5 years. Good to know some background
Well Done Cousin Vinny, well done!
Well done indeed.
No Dixie Mafia?
When did the Wade-Ins happen?
Around 1955
