But exactly how bad will the traffic be this weekend, are we talking bumper to bumper or heavy police presence?


Prepare to spend at least 60% of your time in your vehicle, stuck in traffic. There are 80 extra cops in Biloxi this weekend. If too many people start getting out of their cars and twerking on 90, they will arrest and ticket them, impound their vehicles, and reroute all other cars on the road to a new traffic jam on I-10.

And for safety, is vandalism a serious problem in Biloxi?


Not normally, no. It will be this weekend, though.

If anybody familiar with the area has advice on precautions, I would appreciate it.


Yeah. Move black beach weekend somewhere else.

Are you a frickin' retard? Why would you be asking this board questions/advice about Black Spring Break in Biloxi? Most of this board is white so don't get upset with some of the responses you get. What do we know about Black Spring Break?
And you didn't respond to my post the other day when I asked you to explain why the need for a BLACK Spring Break.
Aren't we into this inclusiveness shite we are taught in schools and at our workplace? Time for these race-specific events to go away. You don't see any events being touted as WHITE events, do you? The only ones I know of with certain is a KKK meeting.
Explain your view on that, please.

You're paying for a hotel in Biloxi???

Hell, in May I'm flying over there on a chartered plane for $50 round trip and also getting 4 nights "free" at the Beau Rivage. Last 2 times I made the trip I also won over $500 each time.

You can’t drive anywhere in Biloxi on 90. It’s bumper to bumper. You are on your own for vandalism.... not sure how many people they are expecting, but it isn’t Biloxi you should be concerned with.

My first year living there I was going to Kessler on 90 and got caught up in the shite show. people on cars, in the road and just not giving a shite basically. There are a shite ton of cops. Not sure it matters though and i don’t think they frick around with anyone... they arrest quick. Lots of loud music signs throughout that stretch as well, in other words don’t have your shite cranked up so everyone else can hear.

That was 10 years ago though. I stayed away after that day and have been gone 5 years. . My buddy who is from the coast says it isn’t quite as bad as it used to be. But who the hell knows.

How bad will traffic be on Thursday afternoon?

I have tickets to the Biloxi minor league baseball game that day. I figured if I take 110 to the beach, it ends right at the stadium, so traffic shouldnt be too bad right?
