What is the source for the 40 foot storm surge?? This sounds more like a rumor.

The City is also mentioned in the song "Firecracker" by sleeper off the album "Please to meet you" Well it is also very hurricaney.

Biloxi does have a seawall with a 14 foot deep footing.

[edit] Pre-Katrina Pictures

Does anyone have any pre-Katrina pictures of Biloxi? It would be nice for the world to see what the city used to look like and let them know that it's not *just* a town that was heavily damaged. Chaotic42 00:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of City

Need more on the 19th and 20th Century history of City. Notably, the 1960 Beach riot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.28.255.70 (talk) 02:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Area?

The land and water area in the infobox look impossible; there surely is a mistake there. --Smeira (talk) 22:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname?

What is the source for Biloxi's Nickname as "Seafood Capital of the World"? I'm from the area and I've never heard that used as a nickname before. I could be wrong, I can find no proof that it is not an official nickname but it just seems I would have heard of it before.--Kjrjr (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
