Anyone ever been to Scrapin the Coast in Biloxi.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have, unintentionally.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"></span>Decided to take the family to the beach condo for what I thought would be a nice weekend away from home and all of a sudden we end
up in the middle of a bizarre subculture of rednecks, Asians, brothas, and cholos way
too interested in bringing unnecessary attention to themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Someone must have actually scraped the
coast to find what appears to be the least promising proles around to line
Beach Boulevard to watch their fellow retards drive by.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Apparently, it’s quite some feat to remain stopped
at a stoplight and burn rubber for about 20 seconds, although I probably
shouldn’t try that with my Honda Odyssey.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"></span>And you can never spend too much money on rims no matter what Dave

Working at a hotel by the coliseum for several summers, I saw it all. The all-Harley blowout, CPR Fest, Cruisin' the Coast, dog shows, the fair (when the carnies would pry open the vending machines at night at and steal all the drinks, snacks, and change), 14-year olds from Placquimens Parish drinking Zimas in the pool in their cutoffs. However, this scrapin' thing is after my time. But since BP is a proud sponsor, I'm going to just blame them for this, too. And while the Coast might be pure hell for the weekend, I bet New Orleans' Westbank is damn near abandoned.

I too, have accidentally stumbled onto this white trash/ghetto hepatitis magnet known as "Scrapin' the Coast". The only thing that rivals its awfulness is when Black Spring Break comes to town. Too close to call really.

And it can't be all bad, the Motel 6s, Super 8s, and similar hotels are all booked. Plus the Waffle Houses are all rocking. Tax revenue, bitches...

It's not my scene either, but the thing that's really holding back the coast is the harsh judgement of other cultures that is so popularly practiced here. My problem is that you let others' good time get to you. Even if it delays or inconveniences you, what the hell is the problem?

Must be some real geniuses running this thing...

Civil War re-enacters are fine. Air rifle enthusiasts as well. I'm cool with all sorts of people having hobbies I don't enjoy. I have a neighbor down the street who works on old cars, but his wife doesn't hangout in the front yard in a halter top showing cleavage and a a mosaic of tasteless tattoos while failing to complete one sentence without using profanity. I enjoy restaurants in Biloxi (just had Le Bakery for breakfast), the kids like the beach and the children's museum, and it's close to home. But, I've been coming back less and less each year. Next time the wife and I will take an extra day or two off of work and skip Biloxi and head to Perdido.

 

[drunkernhelldawg]

You''re down to have a good time, and the fact that others are having a good time dressed in a way different than you bothers you to the point that your good time is ruined. I say you're looking at it wrong.

Le Bakery is an awesome choice for breakfast or lunch. Grab a few loaves of French bread to enjoy on the road. Please try the Vietnamese po boys.

and I don't ever recall any profanity or inappropriate behavior at the pool or beach at Indigo in Perdido. It's not tolerated. But increasingly at the Seabreeze in Biloxi, it seems that anything goes. The kids like swimming but some "guests" make it kid unfriendly. Last year I saved some little girl from drowning because her drunk, silicone and tattoo obsessed mom couldn't be bothered to pay attention. She left her four-year old at the pool to get more beer. And I didn't get so much as a "thank you." My family includes proud rednecks and coonasses. They're fun to be around. And I'm hardly prudish. When I was young I was grateful for the educational experiences trashy neighborhood girls provided. But, I simply don't want my 8 and 7-year old daughters to think vulgar behavior is perfectly acceptable.

Sandwiches and pastries at Le Bakery, the Pho and spring rolls at Kim Long, and the pizza at Bootleggers are a few of the reasons while I'll probably come back. Just not as often.

 

[drunkernhelldawg]

I actually don't want anyone around it because it is stupid and vulgar. Not sure that it hurts kids any more than it hurts everybody. It just makes the world ugly, and that's wrong. My problem is the way this coast embraces some events and totally harrrasses others, while at the same time the powers that be say they want to be a first class destination, but won't even provide portable toilets for Spring Breakers. Hell, they won't even provide parking, and they also started enforcing this law that one cannot park on the beach after 10 p.m. We miss the old coast that was open for fun. I'm not as big on the one that is controlled by politicians and casino corporations. If people want to make love in the great outdoors, they need to pick a place besides a pubic swimming pool with kids around. Go down to the beach late and night and find an open parking bay. Then it's all yours and your baby's. That's the Down Home Beach we love. O wait, No Parking. Well don't complain: Just hit the penny slots and sip the free drinks. What fun.

a few years ago and accidentally ended up on Beach Boulevard in the middle of the event. We were definitely out of place but my little kids thought it was pretty cool, especially when the motorcycles would rev for about 20 seconds before taking off. We just rolled down the windows and enjoyed the festivities. To each his own.

I haven't been to Biloxi since 2005 but it doesn't sound like family oriented beach vacation. I think Gulf Shores and Destin are great, but we grew tired of the Gulf Shores/Destin vacation a few years back and found a great place near by that we have visited the past 4 years. PM me, and I will give you a couple of suggestions.

Mainly just the biggest dregs in humanity. That's all
