The Wall Street Journal visits Ocean Springs and discovers local charm on the MS Coast
Locals say “OS the best” and a reporter writing for the Wall Street Journal would agree.
Journalist Chelsea Brasted, who lives in New Orleans, recently visited the Jackson County city and enjoyed fine dining, local restaurants, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, the beach and more.
Brasted comments early on in her article that the charm of Ocean Springs comes from its authenticity and local feel.
“Souvenir shops packed with T-shirts and floating toys are conspicuously absent. There are no beach bars overflowing with sunburned bodies, and a lunch out doesn’t mean mediocre fish sandwiches and warm beer buckets,” she wrote.
Brasted enjoyed a meal at Vestige, which she said was one of the best she’s had recently. She toured WAMA and got to relax on the water.
She chronicled her coffee at Bright Eyed and her stays at the Inns of Ocean Springs and at the Beatnik hotel. She shopped at Buddyrow, Shearwater Pottery and Ocean Springs Mercantile.
