Beach Front, Gulfport, MS

Everything here is measured before or after the storm, that being Katrina with a 25 foot storm surge, in 2005, as time is measured in the West. That being five of me stacked up.

Downtown Gulfport and downtown Biloxi are rehabs, new construction, and vacant lots. Though much is rebuilt the emptiness is still profound. From Bay St. Louis to Gulfport to Biloxi houses, essentially all the houses, on the beach front block are simply gone. The next block half and the next block 1/3.

I stopped someone to ask directions to a coffee house. He said that I was looking for a "before the storm" establishment. His house, he told me in our conversation, was on the beach, was being a transitive verb.
