Hi everyone! I'm 58F, widowed, and am a social drinker but would like to quit drinking completely. I still enjoy going to bars, restaurants, social events and don't care if other people drink around me. However, I was hoping someone could direct me to some more sober-friendly activities where I could meet other people or socialize. Also, do you know of any places that have really good mocktails? TIA!

As the title implies... Are there any good spots that are outside to watch sports?

Hey everyone!

I'm a collector of obscure and local music, and I've been trying to track down physical CDs from a band called Overburden, who were from the Mississippi Gulf Coast area.

I'm already familiar with the two albums they released, so I'm specifically trying to locate original CD copies rather than information about their discography.

I've also reached out to members of the band, but unfortunately, they don't have any copies available.

I figured I'd ask here in case anyone remembers seeing them perform, was involved in the local music scene, or might still have one of their CDs tucked away somewhere.

Even if you don't have a copy yourself, I'd really appreciate any leads on old local music collections, people who might have known the band, or places where their CDs were originally sold.

Thanks for any help! I'm hoping some of these CDs are still floating around the Gulf Coast somewhere! I'm working to get them archived and haven't had any luck finding them anywhere else online.

Nothing crazy. I’m 37 but would love cocktail bar or live music. Thanks!

Just want to say thanks to Blake at Seaside Pressure Washing for cleaning up my place! He was quick and professional. Highly recommend!!!! His info here.

Need a good licensed plumber to check out something. If you get on Biloxi Talk of the Town or any other Facebook post, you see a billion plumbers suggested. I really need one who's reasonable and is willing to listen and help with what I need done vs creating a completely biased estimate. Feel free to dm me if you dont want to post via comment. Everybody likes to gatekeep a good contractor so I get it.

I'm at Beau Rivage the middle of November and have a deal at their Fallen Oak course for 50 bucks. It's good for two people but I'm a single. Any golfers out there that might be looking to play?

Im a 12 handicap, mellow for fun golfer. Having someone to play with is always more fun.

Hi there! I'm visiting Biloxi next month and am looking for recommendations for the best restaurants that have raw oysters and delicious crawfish. TIA!

My wife is starting to get really down on the selections at stores around here. Any help appreciated

Looking for recommendations for local jewelry shops around Biloxi/Gulfport/Ocean Springs! 💍
I’m starting to browse for an engagement ring and especially want somewhere that does custom designs/customization. Who have y’all had a good experience with, and who would you recommend checking out?

We are visiting Biloxi next week and are looking to spend a day in Gulfport. What are your favorite things to do? We are non drinkers so we aren't really into the bar scene. Also would like recommendations on local shops and plants to eat.

I'd rather see a parade of cybertrucks bc at least they go faster than 40 mph and likely won't stop in the middle of 90 and camp out at green lights. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I searched through old posts but wasn’t able to find current info, who has a good roast beef Poboy on the coast now? We used to go over to Bozos in Pascagoula, but the last couple of times they haven’t been that great. Thanks!

Hi! My husband and I are coming down (last minute haha), and I was wondering what’s the best casino to stay at during Cruising. I know probably whichever isn’t booked solid, but I’m talking about in terms of getting around easily still!

Purchasing a door with the frame and need somebody to install it. live in the popps ferry area. looking for somebody reliable. thanks

That's a deal!

Thats all.

Does anyone know of a bicycle repair/replacement shop nearby? I need some help urgently. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Craving some with Andooooeeey sausage… where ya going if you had to choose the best?
