In thinking about the coast, I should have thought more thoroughly. I remembered Biloxi and Gulfport, of course, as well as Pascagoula, Ocean Spring, and Gautier. But I completely forgot Bay St. Louis and Pass Christian. Thinking about the names of those omissions must make me seem very non-Christian.
