It is 2nd Saturday in Old Town Bay St Louis and the fun is already starting. Jeremy Burke gave a few words to Coastal90 about the Hawaiian Shirt them for tonight's block party. Second Saturday is a fun event that happens every month. Mr. Burke discussed that next month will be themed to support the Friends of The Animal Shelter.
Second Saturday already filling up Bay St. Louis
As we were shooting this video, people were arriving and shuffling down the street. There appears to be events at the Mocking Bird and The Blind Tiger as well as other hot spots in Old Town. Vivian at Serious Bread was running the show to insure a great selection of Al's flat breads would be available for sale this evening. Al is off learning to bake new breads from Master Bakers across the country.
Let's hope the rain stays away and this is another stellar Second Saturday for the Bay St. Louis and the Coast of Mississippi. Check out the new Bay St. Louis light polls as you stroll down Main Street.
The specks were biting today at the Washington Street Pier in Bay St. Louis. The fishing was on fire. They were catching fish on almost every cast. The Washington Street Boat ramp/ Fishing Pier is only a few miles west of Old Town Bay St. Louis. Nothing fancy was required to catch fish today, only a pole and a bucket to sit on.
It was nice seeing the fish hitting on top of the water. If you watch closely in the video, you can see the speck hitting the bait. If you need something to do, try taking a few hours and casting into the Gulf of Mexico to catch a Speckled Trout, Flounder or Red Fish. Fishing might even be a nice way to spend a lunch hour in Bay St. Louis.
Author John Pendergrass will be signing his book Against the Odds: The Adventures of a Man in His Sixties Competing in Six of the World’s Toughest Triathlons across Six Continents on Saturday, July 13th from 5:30-7:00.

Jeremy Burke can often be found behind the desk of Bay Books at 131 Main Street in Bay St Louis, MS. Jeremy and Kristen run a small but well read bookstore. They have a real understanding of what books match each age group and even what books are popular or controversial. Bay Books offers lots of local book signings throughout the months. Having a store like Bay Books is a real treasure. I know many local frequent the shelves looking for the perfect gift for their loved ones.
Bay Saint Louis is in the process of adding new street lights down Main Street. These street lights are in the classic Bay St. Louis fashion shown above. The new lights will complete the Old Town Bay St. Louis area with the street lights. The lights are almost the calling card for the entire area.
There are some new parking rules on the Old Town Bay St. Louis area. Nothing too drastic. There is also a lot of parking in the new parking garage located on Court Street.
