Despite mounds of evidence that doesn’t support beach renourishment, Gulfport has decided “fuck the sea grass and all the other marine life, history and good decisions, we need sunbunnies!” and will spend a pretty penny (close to a million public dollars) to renourish a beach that — I love this part — doesn’t belong there. Look, I realize a bay beach isn’t that attractive, but Gulfport, when are you going to get it? People don’t go there for a beach experience. You’re a cool town, you’re a fun town and I’m proud to call you home, but please stop trying to be something you’re not. We love you just the way you are.—CS
