Mikey,I believe the last public KKK ralley was in 1976.It came thru here in Pascagoula on it's way to Gulfport.
I now live in the Moss Point subburb of Helena.Been here most of my life except when I worked off or was traveling.
I find that most places I've been people tend to look down on the south although they know almost nothing about us. Is that a form of biggotry?
You are still welcome here anytime!
Crusin"the Coast is one of the biggest classic car events in the country.I've been every year so far.Yes,there are problems,just like all the rest of the car events.
But,here it's a little different,you will get your money's worth!You don't have to pay an entry fee unless you want to compete for the awards
The traffic is bad.And,there are alternate routes.Pass Road and Railroad Street are east/west routes just north of Hwy.90.
There are many places to stop and park along the Hwy.90 cruise.as well as the "Down Town" events.
It's an open event meant for all classics,so you'll see stuff you forgot even existed!
There's the swap meet and classic car auction at the colliseum too.And,the drag races at Gulfport/Longbeach dragway.Beaches,restaurants,casinos,etc.
And,many different clubs gathered all over the route.
It's an event to see at least once!
P.S. public places have a 9;00 P.M. curfew.
There are photo cameras at most every traffic signal along Hwy.90.Serious traffic violations will get you car impounded and you in jail.A child died a few years ago when he ran out in traffic.His fault,but it still happened.I hope it never happens again.
Mike.
