- Here is a Biloxi and Gulf Coast travelogue discovered in the vault in the Local History and Genealogy Division of the Biloxi Public Library. It is believed to have been created in the mid- to late '60s, before Hurricane Camille, by the Harrison County tourism bureau.
This jolts you back to reality... what has happened to our coastal area. We have lost our cultural heritage... I remember the regattas .. everything. ... this place has lost it all. I’m so sad. I’m a local.
Mary, Biloxi is making a big comeback. Just wait until they finish the infrastructure road project. It's the next big hot spot!
Yep, I think a few tears fell watching this. I'll be 54 next month, lived here my whole life. My family has been here for generations, I am a Direct descendant of Nicolas Christian Ladner, Juan Cuevas, Jean Baptiste Boudreau dit Graveline and Joseph Bosarge.
It makes me sad seeing all the people at the blessing back then and what it looks like these days.
@@markcoussan3180 It's not all about Biloxi. Gulfport and the other cities are also making big comebacks. I prefer Gulfport, since it's the county seat, but the others are also nice.
Mary the Contrary Confectioner I agree with you Mary. I’m 59 and my family has been here for generations too. We live in the Bay. Not the same small town I grew up in!
All these newbies trying to make it to be a new French Quarter. I hate what the casinos have done to the area but that’s just progress. Nothing stays the same. Just glad I still have the memories of the early years still embedded in my mind when things were simple and you could leave your windows open at night and your keys in your car and everyone knew everyone and people were much more friendly.
What have you done to male it better
Oh and I local too Gautier tobeexact
@2:22 i remember those as a kid )) The Old BroadWater hotel was a nice memory. Video brought back a lot of memories !! Great upload
Thanks for this history. Wish you could post more footage of Biloxi before Katrina!
I was a busboy at the Broadwater Marina. If I had a few 10xmillion to burn, I’d bring it all back to it’s 60s splendor, but with modern technology.
Fantastic...thanks for posting
They need to return those flags at the Gpt/Biloxi city line, but someone would surely protest.
As they should. Keep those pos flags in the 🗑️
Lived in Moss Point ......1965-1977.
It kind of makes me sad. Seems so long ago, a Gulf Coast that no longer exist.
Remember going to Krispy Kream in the late 60's....
How did they get the water to look so blue and the waves so high? I remember neither, unless you're south of the islands.
The coast didn’t have the border islands by that time I don’t think
Two things, the type of motion picture film that was used and less pollution. In my area of the Gulf coast, our water quality plummeted when channels & man-made islands were dredged… it took 4 decades to begin to recover. All our sea grass in our bays was lost.
We’ve lost that civility forever.

haha Tourism office PR
Watching this video might give one the impression that only a handful of Indians live here among the white people. I didn't notice any black people anywhere. Particularly on the beach. I don't think they were allowed at the time this was filmed. A very controversial time in our history, though you'd never realize it watching this.
Where they put all the black folks
😂😂Mississippi Delta, I guess.
Yeah, first thing I noticed. They weren't allowed on the beach back then. There was quite an uproar when they started protesting about it.
