    The Bay St. Louis location of Barracuda Taco Stand has closed for the season as the summer tourism boom begins to decline on the Mississippi Coast, and it’s unclear if or when the restaurant will reopen. Barracuda’s owner Brett Jones confirmed Tuesday that the Bay St. Louis location closed after Labor Day. The popular taco spot started serving customers in Bay St. Louis in late 2024.

    A Covington jeweler is hiding diamonds across the NOLA metro: ‘If you find it, it’s yours.’ (opens the original)

    Despite surging growth in Bay St. Louis, these prime spots sit empty. Is development coming? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

They’re still empty despite hitting the market months ago. So far, no buyer has seized on a listing for a three-story, neon-green landmark on Beach Boulevard that held the Tripletails seafood restaurant until it closed in January.
