First Presbyterian Church of Meridian

First Presbyterian Church of Meridian is a historic church in Meridian, Mississippi, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church was founded in 1856 by eight members including John T. Ball and Lewis A. Ragsdale, founders of the city of Meridian. The reverend at the time was William Curtis Emerson. From 1856 to 1867, the church met in the second floor of a store owned by one of the members. In 1867, the church had grown enough to construct a building on the corner of 25th Avenue and 7th Street in which to hold its services. After a fire on January 27, 1883, the building was destroyed; members of the church later rebuilt the structure using brick instead of wood. The church remained at its location on 25th Avenue and 7th Street until September 25, 1911, when it was sold to the city of Meridian. The city currently uses the building to house the Meridian Museum of Art. After selling the old building, the church bought a lot at the corner of 23rd Avenue and 10th Street. The building, designed by architect Penn Jeffries Krouse, was built in 1913 and dedicated on March 29, 1914. In 1951, an educational building addition used for Sunday School was completed under the leadership of pastor Dr. J. Kelly Unger. It was listed on the National Register in 1979. It was deemed more notable than other churches in Meridian for "its historical significance" and because it was designed by P.J. Krouse, "architect of most of Meridian's outstanding buildings from 1900-1920". The sanctuary was renovated in 1982. In October 1996, the church bought an adjacent building which became the Administration & Education Building and is used for staff offices as well as both Adult Sunday School and committee meetings.

Flint Creek Water Park

Flint Creek Water Park, located in Wiggins, Mississippi, is part of the Pat Harrison Waterway District, which is a Mississippi State Agency providing outdoor recreation and management of the Pascagoula River Basin. The purpose of the nine water parks located in southeast and east-central Mississippi is to provide flood control, water management, and recreation. This is not to be confused with the Flint Creek Waterpark in Colcord, Oklahoma on the Flint Creek that flows through Arkansas and Oklahoma. Description The 1,900-acre (7.7 km2) Flint Creek Water Park provides a wide assortment of outdoor recreational opportunities, most focusing on water sports. The 600-acre (2.4 km2) Flint Creek Reservoir is created by an earthen dam impounding the headwaters of Flint Creek, which flows south into Red Creek, a tributary of the Pascagoula River. The lake is stocked with popular southern sporting fish: largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. The swimming area, which is seasonally open, features several water slides suitable for either children or adults. A nature trail provides visitors with an opportunity to enjoy outdoor scenery, plants, and wildlife. There are several options for overnight visitors— 156 Class A RV campsites, 40 primitive campsites, 34 vacation cabins and 12 camphouses. A picnic area with tables and barbecue pits is also available for day use. In May 2015, Splash of Fun opened within the Water Park and replaced Water Town recreation area. Splash of Fun recreation amenities include water slides, a swimming pool, lazy-river tubing, and a putt-putt golf course. In 2024, the Water Park opened its 18-hole Cheona Trails Disc Golf Course designed by Bo Kirk. Flint Creek Water Park is about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the Wiggins business district (via Highway 29), which provides a full complement of basic services. The Water Park is about 35 miles (56 kilometers) from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, accessible via U.S. Route 49. In popular culture Two annual events are very popular with both visitors and the local community. A fireworks display celebrates the Fourth of July, and a haunted forest is offered the Saturday before Halloween. Flint Creek Water Park served as a film location for the movies Shark Lake in 2015 and Hunt Club in 2022. Gallery References

Pearl River Resort

Pearl River Resort is a gaming resort located in Choctaw, Neshoba County, Mississippi. It is owned and operated by the federally recognized Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. The resort includes two casinos, Silver Star Hotel & Casino and Golden Moon Hotel & Casino; a Dancing Rabbit Inn near the casinos; Dancing Rabbit Golf Club, an award-winning golf course designed by Jerry Pate; Geyser Falls Water Theme Park; and a spa. These casinos are the only Native American gaming facilities in the state of Mississippi, as the Mississippi Choctaw are the only federally recognized tribe in the state. When approved for opening in 2000, these were the only casinos in the state approved for land-based structures. At the time, by state law other gaming activity was limited to riverboats or floating structures on the rivers or Gulf Coast. In the aftermath of extensive damage to waterfront gaming on the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the state legislature changed some of its rules related to private gaming facilities. History The first casino, Silver Star, opened in 1994 on tribal lands near Philadelphia, Mississippi. The tribe had the Golden Moon constructed directly across the road in 2002. Golden Moon features a curving hotel structure that rises to a globe-shaped top. The Mississippi Choctaw are the only federally recognized tribe in the state and thus the only tribe authorized to operate a gaming facility on its reservation lands. In January 2003, Hard Rock International signed a licensing agreement with Choctaw tribe, led by Chief Phillip Martin, to expand the resort. They opened Hard Rock Beach Club directly adjacent to the tribe's Geyser Falls Water Theme Park on Pushmataha Lake in June of that year, with Hard Rock owning the 9-acre (3.6 ha) private beach and the tribe retaining ownership of the property. A 300-room Hard Rock Hotel would be Phase II of the project, aggressively scheduled to open by 2006 and would have become the third major hotel tower at the Pearl River Resort. However, the beachclub permanently closed on January 24, 2005, as it failed to property attract tourists, and the spiritual successor to this project is the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi. In reaction to a downturn in the economy, in January 2009 Tribal Miko Beasley Denson announced that the Golden Moon would reduce its hours, to operate on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. The tribe laid off 570 workers, none of whom was a tribal member. In addition to the recession affecting its business, the facility had to compete with a new gaming facility in Alabama developed by the federally recognized Poarch Band of Creek Indians. The Mississippi Choctaw invested some $71 million in renovations to the casino and hotel to increase its appeal. After reopening the Golden Moon in January 2015, the tribe said that it employed some 2400 to 3000 workers in total at its facilities, the majority of whom are tribal members. Their hiring increases to satisfy seasonal demand in the busy summer months. The number of visitors increases with people drawn to the resort water park and to play golf.

Grass Lawn (Gulfport, Mississippi)

Grass Lawn, also known as the Milner House, was a two-story Antebellum home located in Gulfport, Harrison County, Mississippi. In 1972, the home was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2005, the home was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. A replica of Grass Lawn, Grasslawn II, was built and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2010. The new structure was dedicated in 2012 for use in city events, weddings, receptions, and parties. History Grass Lawn was constructed in 1836 as a summer home for Dr. Hiram A. Roberts, a Port Gibson surgeon and owner of sugarcane plantations in Louisiana. The house was located in Gulfport, Mississippi on 235 acres (95.1ha) overlooking the Mississippi Sound. Grass Lawn was unique in that it was of wood-pegged construction with timbers of hand-hewn longleaf pine and walls of bald cypress. Heart-pine lumber was used as flooring, and fireplace mantels were composed of either black or white marble. The 2-story home had 10-foot-wide (3-meter-wide) porches supported by box columns. Through the years, the property was subdivided, and in 1905, John Kennedy Milner purchased the home. Milner later became owner of the Coast Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Gulfport. In 1972, because of its political, historical, and architectural significance, Grass Lawn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973, the Milner Family sold the home to the City of Gulfport. During the next 32 years, the house was used by the city as a community center for both private and public gatherings. On August 29, 2005, Grass Lawn was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of the hurricane, government officials committed to construct a period-style replica of Grass Lawn to serve as a visible reminder of historic buildings on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The completed structure was dedicated on July 20, 2012, to be used for city functions, and rented out for weddings, receptions, and other events. References

Jaderná elektrárna Grand Gulf

Jaderná elektrárna Grand Gulf (anglicky Grand Gulf Nuclear Station) je provozní jadernou elektrárnou ve Spojených státech. Leží poblíž městečka Port Gibson ve státě Mississippi. Elektrárna se rozprostírá na pozemku o velikosti 850 hektarů a zaměstnává okolo 680 lidí. Elektrárna je vlastněna a provozována společností Entergy Nuclear. Historie a technické informace Bloky 1 a 2 Výstavba prvního varného reaktoru typu BWR-6 o hrubém výkonu 1302 MW započala 4. května 1974. K síti byl blok připojen 20. října 1984 a do komerčního provozu přešel 1. července 1985. Druhý blok o hrubém výkonu 1302 MW varné koncepce s reaktorem BWR-6 se paradoxně začal stavět o několik dní dříve, 1. května 1974. Jeho výstavba probíhala až do prosince 1979, kdy byla zastavena. Oficiální důvod k tomuto rozhodnutí byla havárie v elektrárně Three Mile Island a také významné překročení stavebních nákladů. Výstavba reaktoru byla formálně zrušena v prosinci 1990. Od roku 2002 byl na základě povolení NRC výkon prvního bloku postupně navyšován z 1302 MW hrubých až na 1500 MW hrubých. Zároveň bylo zažádáno o prodloužení licence o dalších 20 let, což je stále v procesu. Aktuální licence platí do roku 2024. Blok 1 byl s hrubým výkonem 1500 MW k roku 2020 nejvýkonnější reaktor varné koncepce na světě a nejvýkonnější reaktor v USA. Reaktor je chlazen uzavřeným terciárním okruhem s tradiční chladicí věží a také chladicí věží s nuceným tahem. V dubnu 2011 byla v turbínové hale nedokončeného reaktoru č. 2 nalezena nashromážděná dešťová voda, která byla silně kontaminována tritiem, a proto bylo původně zamýšlené běžné odčerpání nemyslitelné. Vzhledem k tomu, že druhý blok nebyl dokončen a nikdy nefungoval, není dodnes jasné, kde se tritium ve vodě vzalo a jaké množství kontaminované vody se dostalo do přilehlé řeky, protože vzorky nebyly odebrány v době úniku. NRC případ stále vyšetřuje. Blok 3 Od 22. září 2005 se v lokalitě plánovalo postavit nový reaktor ESBWR v rámci Nuclear Power 2010 Program. Jedná se o pokročilý varný reaktor od General Electric. Dne 27. února 2008 společnost Entergy požádala o kombinované stavební a provozní povolení a dne 9. ledna 2009 požádala o pozastavení povolovacího procesu za účelem přehodnocení alternativních technologií reaktorů. V září 2015 NRC na žádost společnosti Entergy stáhlo povolení k výstavbě třetího bloku. Okolní obyvatelstvo NRC definuje dvě zóny havarijního plánování kolem jaderných elektráren. První o poloměru 16 kilometrů, která se týká především vystavení radioaktivní kontaminace vzduchu a poté druhou o poloměru 80 kilometrů, jež se zabývá kontaminací potravin a vody.
