Lynn Meadows Discovery Center

I was recently out in Gulfport MS at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center for a building event. Gulfport is the area that was devastated by hurricane Katrina a few years ago. This was my first visit to the region since the storm, and I was shocked at the level of destruction. Two years after the storm, and it still looks like a war zone...look at the L. M.D.C. website (http://www.lmdc.org/) and you can see photos of the museum after the storm. Fortunately the museum has had terrific support (they are the only children's museum in Mississippi!) and were able to rebuild. Despite all of the difficulties the people of the gulf coast have endured over the past two years, they still managed to amaze me with their "southern hospitality"...not to mention their building skills!
