Are Hurricane Prone Areas Losing Population Due To Fear Of Storms Or Housin
2008-05-31 12:44:00
Owning real estate in hurricane prone regions of the country has always had it’s risks. So after a particularly bad stretch of storms over the past few years one would expect the population to decline. And it has, by about 1 percent since 2000. Of course, according to the study by USA Today, the regions hardest ...

2008-05-22 02:48:00
How much land is 16 acres? You could probably easily fit about 10 small houses in an acre so 16 acres is about the size of 1,600 small houses or 64 749.7028 meter squared for those of you in international countries. Florida Gulf Coast University, a college opened in 1997 with a focus on the environment, was given $8.5 million by politicians to start a big solar farm of 16 acres on its campus.

Gulf Coast Citizens Becoming Victims Once Again
2008-04-28 17:00:00
As the foreclosure epidemic sweeps through the gulf regions of states like Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, victims of Hurricane Katrina are losing their homes once again, but not to any force of nature. More and more homes are going to auction along the Gulf Coast, and as foreclosures increase, families who have just gotten their lives back together are once again going to have to start over. But fortunately, many investors have been able to assist homeowners in this region by buying their properties from them before they are foreclosed, allowing them to avoid a credit ruining foreclosure and pay off their debt, while the investor gets a great deal.
Everglades National Park Boat Tour from the Gulf Coast Visitor Center in Ev
2008-04-24 01:30:00
SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: As we were driving along the Tamiami Trail (90/41) at the Northern edge of the Everglades National Park, signs advertising air boat tours appeared every few minutes. Guarantees were given on the amount of excitement one will have, the wildlife they would see and the fun. We resisted all of these as we had already planned on taking part in the Everglades National Park Boat Tour which departs from Everglades City and visits the Ten Thousand Islands area. Clear signs along the roads meant that we found our destination without problems. It was a weekday around noon and Everglades City was quite deserted. A bit spooky. After a quick bite at the solid JT's Island Grill & Gallery we parked at the Gulf Coast Visitor Center and proceeded to inquire about departure times.Rate and Review : Everglades National Park Boat Tour from the Gulf Coast Visitor Center in Everglades City, Florida
Private Investment Is Key to Rebuilding The Gulf Coast
2008-04-17 00:00:00
On a recent visit to Mississippi I met with some very smart people to discuss the recovery efforts along the Gulf Coast. This effort has been going on for nearly 3 years after Katrina. We all agreed that the job creation efforts were having a real impact on the local economy. We also agreed that the rebuilding of the affordable housing stock was gaining momentum but is seriously lacking. Think about these numbers. By most accounts the Gulf coast needs a minimum of 80,000 affordable housing units. If we see numbers of homes being build at let?s say 2,000 units per year that would mean that in 40 years the current demand would be met. That is right 40 years. This assumes that the dema

Mississippi Gulf Coast

I am Pat Meyer with Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty, Inc. Gulfport, MS. The coast is recovering from Katrina and I have seen the real estate market pick up in the last two weeks. We have many condo units being built along with casinos and other business. This is a great time to buy on the MS Gulf Coast as some people have made the decision not to come back. I lost everything in Katrina (I did have good insurance that did pay) and I love the MS Gulf Coast. Would not consider moving anywhere else.

Clay Ketter: Gulf Coast Slabs
2008-03-21 23:32:00
A show of new work by the American artist Clay Ketter opened in London this week at Bartha Contemporary. Ketter, who has lived in Sweden for over 20 years, is renowned for creating art works through the investigation of construction techniques. His work on the surface has a beautifully minimalist aesthetic, but the real interest lies beneath the layers in a "truth to materials" approach and the perfection of the process. Previous works of furniture installation and framed plaster work recall fêted American Abstract Expressionists such as Donald Judd and Mark Rothko. Gulf Coast Slabs embraces the medium of large scale photography to continue the construction theme. After Hurricane Katrina Ketter decided to return to his native land to see the damage done for himself. He was accompanied by photographer Nils Bergendal and together they found whole neighborhoods where only the foundations of buildings remained. Like ghosts of the recent past, the slabs revealed the outlines of wha...

Gulf Coast Snapper Fishing
2008-02-18 00:23:00
Finding you own bait, is not supposed to be a challenge at all, but unfortunately, sometimes it is just that. One of the biggest issues with fishing for pinfish is the snappers than snag up what was supposed to draw the pinfish. Now many people see this as a problem since they are trying to catch bait and not a snapper.But this is not about pinfish or even baitfish, this is about snapper. All along the Gulf Coast, snapper is popular. Many restaurants are named after various snapper species.From chum line fishing to using those pinfish mentioned earlier, fishing for snapper can be a very fulfilling day, and what's even better, is when the day over, and you get that snapper home and cooked, it just makes it all worth while.Snapper can be found almost anywhere up along the coast line, but especially down near the mangroves at the everglades. Also near by, you will probably find a plethora of other species including the ever popular grouper, but just remember that when fishing, if you ...

FDA WARNS OF CONTAMINATED GULF COAST SEAFOOD
2008-02-07 15:55:00
Discovery follows outbreaks of illness in D.C. and St. LouisThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning seafood processors that some consumers have recently become ill after consuming fish carrying the ciguatera toxin. The illness is known as ciguatera fish poisoning.The toxic fish were harvested in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, near the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, which is located in federal waters south of the Texas-Louisiana coastline.FDA had considered CFP from fish in this geographical area extremely rare until recently, when several outbreaks were confirmed in Washington, D.C., and St. Louis, Mo. The agency said the illnesses were linked to fish caught near the marine sanctuary.FDA said it now considers CFP to be a food safety hazard that is reasonably likely to occur in grouper, snapper, and hogfish captured within 10 miles of the marine sanctuary and amberjack, barracuda and other wide-ranging species captured within 50 miles of the sanctuary.Link to c...
Water Damage Worries Along the Gulf Coast
2008-01-31 16:47:00
Winter Water Damage Worries Along the Gulf CoastBy Chris BurkOwner of H2O Solutions, LTD www.RestorNation.comDuring the winter months and on into spring, those of us along the gulf coast watch in amazement as we see winter storms pound the northern parts of the US. All the while we are under constant threat of torrential rain storms as the cold fronts pass on through. The truth is, whether it is in the north or along the coast we are all faced with the threat of water damage to our homes and businesses.In the frozen north, it is very important that home owners take proper precautions to ensure their properties are not damaged as Mother Nature takes her toll. We must take similar precautions along the gulf coast to prevent water damage as well. There are probably 3 very important things to look out for as we move closer to spring, summer, and the dreaded hurricane season…..frozen pipes, landscaping issues, and clogged gutters.Frozen pipes are a common occurance up north and sel...

Gulf Coast Spaghetti Pie
2007-10-09 12:29:00
I first had a dish like this in a funky little cafe somewhere in St. Petersburg, Florida back in the late 70's.  I remember three things about the cafe where I had my first taste of spaghetti pie -- 1) the Dean Martin song "Everybody Needs Somebody Sometime" kept playing over and over on the jukebox (somebody mourning a romantic break-up perhaps?)  2) My waitress (Sally was her name I think) wore an eyepatch over her left eye that had the following message imprinted on it: "What'll Ya Have?"  3 )The spaghetti pie had a wonderful intense flavor, the intensity of the fresh crabmeat playing nicely off of the smoked mozzarella flavors.  Here's a recreation of that pie -- (this recipe goes out to Sally wherever she may be!)Ingredients:8 0z fresh lump Crabmeat1/4 cup grated Romano Cheese1 TBS Big Heat Spice MixNote: Big Heat Spice is a own cajun spice mix I created years ago; for the recipe g...

Mississippi Gulf Coast ?GO Zone? ? It?s Not only Casinos!
2007-09-14 00:00:00
Submitted My Michael Eadie 9/7/07 5:40 PM EST Mississippi Gulf Coast ?GO Zone? ? It?s Not only Casinos! Industry experts and local officials believe that Katrina is only one of the factors that should lead to an excellent real estate opportunity in the years to come. Other factors are the continuing expansion of the Casinos, jobs created by the expanding defense industry and the migration of baby boomers to lower cost warm weather spots near the Gulf. Most experts agree that the real estate boom has only started and may run for the next 3 to 5 years. As an added incentive to investors, the State of Mississippi is offering significant ?GO Zone? tax incentives to invest
GSA Streamlines Local Small Business Contracting on the Gulf Coast
2007-09-11 17:19:00
As recently reported by Elise Castelli in the Federal Times, "The long slog to rebuild the Gulf Coast devastated by Hurricane Katrina might be gaining some speed."  A new order signed by GSA Administrator Lurita Doan will make it simpler and faster for the U.S. General Services Administration to award millions of dollars in recovery contracts to local small business in the Gulf Region supporting Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts.  Contracts for debris clearance, supply distribution, reconstruction and other disaster relief will be set aside for local businesses under the order.  "The order gives blanket justification for the set-aside awards, which will limit competition to local firms." "Local small businesses are the backbone of every community," said Administrator Doan. "Revitalizing the small businesses is one of the most significant ways we can aid in the recovery of the Gulf Coast region."   -...

One Year After Katrina, Slidell, La. Shows Gulf Coast?s Dete
2006-08-24 19:42:05
I am going to graphically point out the difference between human DIGNITY and theDREGS of humanity… 1st, The DIGNITY humans can exhibit, even in times of disaster: SLIDELL, La. ? For Don and Diana Andre, who have lived in Slidell, La., almost 30 years, the starkest difference between the hometown they knew before Hurricane Katrina and the one they came back to after the storm is the emptiness. The neighborhood that was so familiar to and loved by them now has gaping holes in it, left by longtime residents who fled for good. The Andres are still overwhelmed by sadness when they talk about it, because they know they’ll never see many of them again. “I guess if I was to try to put in words how this affects us, this storm, the biggest loss to us is not so much the property,” said Don, 60. “It’s the loss of all the people that lived here,” added Diana, 61.
