Condos & Restaurant Planned for Deer Island.

This is great stuff from the Itchy Pelican

Imagine sitting on our Biloxi or Ocean Springs beaches, toes in the sand, basking in the sunlight, gazing out across the sparkling water and seeing…condos.

I recently saw a movie called “The Rum Diary.” In it, some questionable individuals concocted a plan to take a beautiful island and turn it into a destination resort. When I read this article, I had to wonder who else saw that movie alongside me, and what ideas they had taken from it in hopes of making them a reality.

This project is being billed as ‘The Oasis at Deer Island’ which struck me funny as an oasis, for one thing, typically occurs in the desert, and is alternately defined as, “A pleasant or peaceful area or period in the midst of a difficult, troubled, or hectic place or situation.” I agree that Deer Island could be described as such now, but will it still be described as such when all of this is said and done? Will they stop at one condo, or are condos like Lays potato chips in that you cannot have only one?

I will make my stance clear in that I do not feel this is a good idea, for several reasons….
