'oint Cadet, where the shrimp and oyster factories are located, and chances are he may belong to one of the older families who have followed the sea all the way from France, Italy, or Jugo-Slavia. If so, you may be able to wangle an invitation to one of the parties in the Slavonian Hall for a most enjoyable evening with an old world touch. All members of the family attend, dancing both to native music and Boogie-Woogie. The tables are piled high with boiled shrimp, seasoned with herbs, jambalaya, (stew or chowder to you) ; delicious home made breads and strange tasting Jugo-Slav sweets and cookies, one called Pusherata, my favorite, seasoned with anisette. There is much robust kindly fun and laughter, and songs of the many countries represented there, and they can tell some mighty interesting tales.
The old Biloxi Cemetery is fascinating, as are others along the Coast, and warrant a leisurely afternoon. The history of the old families can be read there, and it is certainly not like in Ohio.. You will probably meet some one there who can tell you about the older graves, which were built above the ground because of the moisture. Some of the newer graves have canopies built over them draped w'ith Spanish moss, blending in with the live oaks and magnolias, which are decorated by nature with this same air plant.
The foregoing suggestions are just a few tips we’d give you if you’d listen to us, that would add to your pleasure and knowledge of Gulf Coast country. They are not made in a spirit of criticism or malice. Rather they are offered as Lagniappe (a free favor).
By the same token, if we are fortunate enough to visit your home state we shall listen to your story and offer no criticisms or unfavorable comparisons on your way of life and ours.
Incidentally, while I think of it, I could never understand why the guide, who took us to view the monument marking the Landing of the Pilgrims, became so livid when I attempted to tell him how WE had marked the spot of the Landing of D’Iberville down here!
