Around Town on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

January 31, 2021March 5, 2021 By Cassandra Foreman Eventscommunity

It’s a different social climate everywhere since the onset of the novel Coronavirus in early 2020. Residents in South Mississippi, and beyond, have had to adjust to a “new normal” as restrictions and safety guidelines are everchanging. But it hasn’t stopped the majority from stepping out to enjoy all of the beautiful sights and sounds of what is the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Shopping, eating, taking a seaside stroll or a walk in the park, residents are making the best of a murky situation by indulging in a variety of activities that help brighten their day, all while masking up, social distancing and using other precautionary measures when required. Besides, it’s the COVID-19 way of life. And we’re all in this together.
