Movies
Pearlington, MS - post-Katrina visit - August 30, 2006
This is the town that has been forgotten.
..
Driving in on Hwy 604, the thing I noticed about Pearlington was that at least they had their trees and nature in general looked green. Unlike Waveland (just a few miles east) which has thousands of dead pines and other trees and Live Oaks stripped of branches and most of their leaves.
..
No place to shop. No bank. No School. St. Joseph's Catholic Church destroyed.
