Eye on Travel – Biloxi, Mississippi – September 7, 2024

And this week, Eye on Travel comes from Biloxi, with some very special guests who were also featured on the “HIDDEN” special. Peter has all the travel updates, ranging from the TSA alert on “Cat Eyes” to the latest research from Longwoods International on what appears to be a drop in travel demand — not to mention a huge drop in many airfares. Then it’s a deep dive into Mississippi’s Gulf Coast: Rachel Dangermond, Owner of 100 Men Hall, tells the story of the historic blues hall — for over 100 years every legendary Black musician has performed there (and they still do). Schooner captain Rusty David on the historic oyster boats. And then, it’s time for a road trip. Stephanie Stuckey, Author of Unstuck, on the history of the Stuckey’s roadside restaurants — around since 1937 (did someone mention peanut brittle??). Musician Serabee talks Coastal Mississippi music and shares a new song inspired by her chihuahua and a bottle of local vodka from the local Mississippi distillery. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
