12 SOUTH MISSISSIPPI Living • August 2019 FOR MORE REFLECTIONS OF THE GULF COAST >> www.smliving.net
FROM THE
August: it’s hot, it’s humid, but we can handle it. In honor of the sauna that is South Mississippi this time of year, we
dug deep to find out just what makes some people more susceptible to mosquito bites than others. You might be surprised to learn what attracts these bothersome
critters!
Speaking of learning, we’ve also got a great feature on
apprenticeship programs and technical schools in our Business & Industry special section. Companies such as Huntington Ingalls and local educational institutions such as the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College are dedicated to training the next generation of skilled laborers.
Also in this section, read all about the Gulf of Mexico Alliance, NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center, and many other organizations that are driving the local economy.
In this issue you’ll also find a special section dedicated to Main Streets, Chambers and Downtowns. From nightlife
opportunities to downtown biking and chamber networking, this section will give you the scoop on how to enjoy the cultural hubs of coastal cities to the
fullest.
This month’s feature home is the nearly-100-year-
old Ocean Springs residence of Ginny Conn. Conn completely gutted the home and started with a clean
slate, but did so with the house’s structure in mind. We think you’ll be impressed with the end result!
