The End of an Era

It looks like the Gulfshore Baptist Assembly center is not going to be rebuilt. Here is a link to the story. Boy, who would have thought that they would have backed out of such ideal piece of land. The reasons for not rebuilding were:

Railroad tracts from Bay St. Louis to Henderson Point

I ran across this image the other day by complete chance and just had to share it. It is of the railroad tracts from Bay St. Louis to Henderson Point. You can see the Gulfshore Baptist Assembly across the bay.

I got the image from here.

I have been getting an awful lot of hits regarding the Gulfshore Baptist Assembly conference center. When I was a kid my parents taught the children at a CBMC conferences that was held there every year. I have a lot of fond memories of the place and am saddened to see the place in ruins.

At first I had not realize how badly damaged the place was until I saw this image. I got the image from here. I can hardly believe how badly damaged the place is. From the satellite images it just looked like the windows and curtains were blown out all over the lawn. It is hard to believe but the cinderblocks between the rooms on the first and second floors where completely blown out.

If you end up here looking for news on the Gulfshore Baptist Assembly center then please leave a comment and let me know you came.
