So not totally. I went to Biloxi a few months ago and the only thing totally rebuilt in that city were the casinos...that I stayed in. ahem. Hey, I was helping out the economy. But yeah it was sad to see alot of the houses still boarded up. -- lyn, 05/ 6/08 2:48pm

Last I heard there was a huge fight on whether or not to rebuild houses in the flood plain. In the meantime nothing is getting done. -- Liz, 05/ 6/08 3:08pm
