This Space for Rent

Snapshots from the past

The storm surge from hurricane Katrina would have submerged the trolley wire in this picture, if not for the teeny detail that the Gulfport & Mississippi Coast Traction Company was busified in 1926. Oddly enough, the replacement busses still operate as CTA route #34 (Biloxi Pass Road) between Gulfport and Biloxi, and #5 (a dial-a-ride service?) between Gulfport and Pass Christian.
