Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 8th of August.
Good morning, Biloxi.
🏘️ Community
In Biloxi, Back Bay Mission served 230 people in 2018 but now serves over 700—rising inflation and higher living costs are blamed for the surge in homelessness.
The nonprofit asks local leaders to open an overnight shelter on the Coast—hoping this step will provide a sustainable solution for residents.
Amtrak will return to South Mississippi later this month with several coastal cities hosting celebration events — in Biloxi, the Mardi Gras Service will make a brief stop on August 16 from 10:50 to 11:05 before the public launch on August 18.
Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Pascagoula and Ocean Springs have also scheduled events to welcome the service.
💼 Business
Gulfport's Crossroads shopping center will soon add HomeGoods and Nothing Bundt Cakes—signs have been up for days and hiring events are underway, while an opening date for HomeGoods remains unannounced.
WXXV News 25 will update the community as more information becomes available.
📰 Lifestyle
Susie Davis visited Seven P Fit, a fitness center in Ocean Springs that offers classes aimed at boosting both physical health and mental well-being.
The center provides a range of workouts including barre, bungee, Zumba, stretch meditation, yoga, and body combat — all designed to meet the growing local demand for comprehensive wellness.
