The October issue of the city’s monthly newsletter will be making its way to mailboxes across the city Saturday and Monday, and it’s a capacity of 24 pages, with more than a dozen stories and features about community events, issues and history.
BNews Monthly has previews of Cruisin’ The Coast, the downtown Biloxi Block Party and the overall event traffic plan; the Old Biloxi Cemetery Tours; a look at development across the city; news of achievement at Biloxi Public Schools; details of the FY 2020 budget; an update on work on Jim Byrd Road; and, of course, the latest on East Biloxi infrastructure work.
Also included in the issue, which is expected to reach an audience of about 50,000, are the updated listings for BTV, the municipal TV channel carried locally on Sparklight and Uverse, and streaming worldwide at biloxi.ms.us/btv.
Among the community-minded advertisers supporting the October issue are Community Bank, which recently broke ground on its new downtown presence; The Coastal Breeze, the “new” local weekly newspaper; and real estate broker Lizana Munro of Coldwell Banker’s Biloxi office, on Popp’s Ferry Road.
Also helping underwrite the issue: the Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort, Mississippi Power, The Peoples Bank, 140 Edgewater Station at Edgewater Mall, Biloxi Public Schools, the Palace Casino Resort, The Blake at Biloxi, A Servant’s Heart Commercial & Residential Cleaning Service, and Treasure Bay Casino and Hotel.

News and notes: BTV finales, council replay, traffic
BTV finales: With September winding down, two of the month’s daily BTV presentations — “Social Change in a Democracy” (7 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and “The 2019 Class of the Biloxi Sports Hall of Fame” (8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) — are in their last week on BTV. Each is intensely local and offers a peek in Biloxi’s past, especially the endearing acceptance speeches at the Hall of Fame event. See them before they’re relegated to cyberspace.
Council replay: The Biloxi City Council, during its 90-minute meeting on Tuesday, heard a report from Harrison County Supervisor Beverly Martin before delving into the meeting agenda. The program airs at 9:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. on BTV and you can see it online now by clicking here.
Traffic: State contractors paving U.S. 90 in Biloxi will suspend work during Cruisin’ The Coast, but until then, they’re working each night from Sunday through Thursday. Proceed with caution, motorists. To see other traffic updates, click here.
