The Ocean Springs Fresh Market is open every Saturday, rain or shine, this market is in the parking lot of the chamber of commerce for Ocean Springs with local vendors of fruits, vegetables, plants and friendly people. All of it seemed reasonably priced.

This shaded building once hailed as a train station; remains in that style as a architectural gem. In fact as I was taking a photo of the welcome sign...a long train whistled and rumbled by; the porch deliciously shook in response. Detected the building serves three purposes well 1) A separate retail art boutique called Realizations 2) The Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce 3) The (public) Ocean Springs Main Street- Tourism Bureau Inside are prolific but tasteful examples of local art. (Please see my photos and tips) Enter, and stop at the video kiosk for a full color brochure. Turn left for the water fountain and a public bathroom (resplendent w art). Or, you can turn right and enter the guidance portion of the visitor center. The high counter (see picture) reminded me of where days of old a ticket master's workstation would be. This small but functional room serves you and any little ones traveling with you well. Brochures line the left side of the room and interesting local art, some tall, fill the space. Center on the floor is a kids visitors table. (How cute and thoughtful) Sign in and ask questions about this interesting Main Street town. (Always sign in, it's a nice thing to do; as it helps the town gauge the flow of traffic to plan outreach for next year) For the Record: This town is a good non beach day kinda place to visit.

Swim lessons drew me in since I'd never learned to swim as a child and not only were the lessons great, but I also joined water aerobics which is a wonderful fitness routine. I use the gym too, and the entire facility is clean and extremely well kept and offers a myriad of activities for people of all age levels. I totally love the staff!!! I don't have children, but the kids always appear to be having the time of their lives :-) Great community center and so glad I found it!

You can even take in a Professional Baseball game of the Biloxi Shuckers!

It's mostly a casino and beaches town. I'm not a gambler and I'm not a sun worshipper. As it happened, I found plenty! Great food, from sushi to pho to fried catfish to barbecue. A few museums including the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and the Ohr-O'keefe Museum of Art. Several local beers. Lots of shopping. Somewhere in there, I drove over to New Orleans for a day. I walked across the Biloxi Bay bridge early in the morning before it got too hot. And we toured the Biloxi Visitor's Center and Lighthouse Pier. Yes, there's plenty to do here. Friendly people and once you learn the lay of the land, it all clicks together. It helped to understand that back in 2014 or so, they numbered the traffic lights on US 90 from "one" on the Louisiana border and then increasing one by one until the Alabama border. You're at "Shrimp number 31"? That's the Edgewater Mall intersection. Easy parking during mid-October. Friendly folks. Not at all crowded.
