California Drawstrings
The Shoofly Name
A shoofly is a raised wood deck circling a large tree and historically, almost every hotel on the Mississippi coast had one. Now the shoofly by the old Bay St. Louis City Hall is one of few remaining, and it's become our iconic town landmark.
That makes the Shoofly Magazine the perfect place for elevated community conversation. Click here to read more!
