The World According To Carl

The latest PhotoHunt category from tnchick.com is “Messy” which can be interpreted as one sees fit. For this week’s entry I am posting a picture I took near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi about 6-9 months after Hurricane Katrina. It is a mess made after taking apart a long abandoned casino sign for a casino that went out of business several years previously. [UPDATE: I have been informed by someone who lived nearby for many years that the name of the casino was "The Jubilee Casino." Apparently the sign is now gone and has been replaced by a sign advertising the Silver Slipper Casino.] The sign had been abandoned and officials decided that leaving it as-is would run the risk of being knocked down and perhaps becoming airborn and causing more damage.

Someone informed me of the name of the long defunct casino but I cannot recall it at the moment. Here is the abandoned sign a couple of years before Hurricane Katrina.
