With our new feature called "Recommendables," we highlight people, places and things in our community that we think are extra special. The extraordinary Zach Sierke Pottery is a natural choice, and so is the incredible floral design that Allie Haynes Nielsen creates at Vine + Branch.

What are Recommendables? It’s a new feature from the folks at Scenic 98 Coastal for discovering businesses, restaurants, services, things to do, places to see, and expert advice that we feel comfortable recommending to our subscribers based on our personal experiences.

When you're in Meridian, you can learn a lot about Mississippi's many cultural stars at the MAX. The downtown museum celebrates the state's top achievers in music, film, literature ... and much more.



When you step into the MAX in downtown Meridian, you may have an urge to look up toward the sky. The high ceilings of the two-story rotunda help draw attention to huge, eye-catching portraits of many of Mississippi's greats in the arts, music, and other creative disciplines.

After eight months and more than a 6,000 miles aboard their 40-foot boat, Bryan and Carol Megginson are back home on the Fowl River. Completing the Great Loop was truly the adventure of a lifetime.



You may or may not know what the Great Loop is all about, but it’s a voyage reserved for those with a keen sense of adventure, patience, and fortitude. It’s funny how some things just align for lifelong dreams to come together. Bryan and Carol Megginson have the 2020 pandemic to thank for their ...

If you've never experienced "the Blues," keep your eyes on the skies. Seeing the U.S. Navy's skillful flight squadron in action is thrilling and unforgettable.



It was the end of World War II. Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz ordered that a flight demonstration team be organized to raise and maintain public interest in naval aviation. Within 90 days on June 15, 1946, a group of Navy aviators performed their first flying demonstration at....

To be a winner in the vacation rental business, you've got to be able to focus on many different aspects. Judging by the success of their Beachball Properties, Hunter and Ginger Harrelson seem to have all the bases covered.

Now that the peak tourist season of Summer has passed, many beachgoers look forward to Fall for quiet, leisurely, and more peaceful vacations at their favorite beach community.

Making lasting memories with friends is priceless, and beautiful Pensacola is wonderful place for a "getaway" even if it's close to home.

One of the smartest things I ever did was move to a town so beautiful that my friends quit asking when I’d come visit them and started asking how soon they could come to Pensacola. Like many Saturdays before, this past Saturday, my best girlfriends and I kicked off another fun-filled girls’ week...

There's a lot to see and do when traveling through the Mississippi Delta, and the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola easily earns a top spot on the list.



There weren't many vehicles in the parking lot on this weekday at the B.B. King Museum, but all of them had out-of-state license plates. Foreign accents from a few of the visitors reinforced the enormous reach of this Mississippi Delta native, who is perhaps the most famous blues musician of them al...

To say that Joey Mason is a cattle farmer in Grand Bay is just scratching the surface. His Mason Hills Farm is a one-of-a-kind butcher shop and meat processing facility, and so much more.



Joey Mason of Mason Hills Farm in Grand Bay, Alabama, has done a lot in his 40 years. He’s the kind of man who doesn’t let the moss grow under his feet. He’s not afraid to take a risk, hard work doesn’t scare him, and he always sees a bigger vision for what things can become.
