First time I was ever there was 1973. Had a meal at the old hotel bldg cooked and served by a short black grandmother type. Swamp cabbage with lime sherbet and homemade peanut butter. Amazing, comfort food. Returned in 1996 and the best dockside restaurants were closed, the hotel renamed by I don't know. Last saw it two years ago and it had become an altogether different place. Not in a good way, either. The only souvenir tshirts were Trump trash. Not kidding, ALL the souvenirs were neo-nazi kkk junk with an attitude. So many single story houses built at the ground level. What were these people thinking? The damage from a 5' storm surge would cost more to repair than the city was worth.
