Mississippi sculptor is the man who brought Walter Anderson's art to life

The Gateway Sculpture Project took shape through meetings with residents and community leaders about what best represented Ocean Springs. Julian Rankin, strategic advisor for the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, said the process led organizers back to Anderson and the city’s artistic tradition. Proctor was selected after a public call for artist qualifications from Mississippi and the surrounding region. His task was to transform two-dimensional designs based on Anderson’s work into large-scale sculptures. “Phil got to collaborate, if you will, with Walter Anderson across time and to turn these into three-dimensional sculptures,” Rankin said. “That, I think, was the magic about it.” “It was really kind of a wonderful experience working what I would describe as a collaboration with Walter Anderson in spirit,” Proctor said. Design and engineering work began in late 2025, followed by manufacturing around March 2026, Proctor said. The sculptures were unveiled Oct. 1. Rankin said the overall project took about two and a half years, including public input, design, funding and manufacturing. More than just art The Gateway Sculpture Project aims to place public art at entrances to Ocean Springs while helping direct visitors downtown. The project was funded through the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund as

Popular Gulf Coast hangout near the Amtrak line has my favorite coffee from NOLA to FL

Drinking coffee milk on the couch with my grandparents was my favorite way to spend a Saturday growing up. The RT brand coffee with chicory was brewed strong, and the simple joy of making my Granny’s cup (with two Sweet n’ Lows and powdered creamer) is a big part of why I love a good latte or Americano today.

Popular Coast restaurant closes, building owner blamed in social media post

A Diamondhead restaurant that wowed the Sun Herald’s food reviewer in 2024 has closed. And in a post on the restaurant’s facebook page, the closure was blamed on the property owner. According to the post, the closure “is not the result of a struggling restaurant or a lack of community support.” Instead, the post claims there has been “ongoing building infrastructure, maintenance, and safety issues, including the prolonged loss of our freight elevator.” The post says the owners “cannot continue putting our employees, customers, and business at risk while waiting for essential building repairs that remain unaddressed.” “We did not want to close this restaurant,” the post added. “But without the necessary building maintenance and a path toward resolving these issues, we have been left with no sustainable way to continue operating at this location.” According to the post, The Camphouse Burger Bar in Waveland will remain open, and the owners are “actively searching for another location along the Coast.” In his review, the Sun Herald’s Scott Watkins said “I thank The Camphouse for bestowing these vibes upon me. For supplying a quaint atmosphere and genuinely good seafood. If you, dear reader, are a regular — shame on you for
