Lisa Monti's Notebook - Now You Know!

    Lisa Monti’s Notebook is a new blog in Bay St. Louis/Waveland that covers local news, people, restaurants, shops and whatever else everybody’s curious about.

    Find out what a New Orleans developer plans to do with Second Street Elementary School and what’s being done to fix the new seawall. Read what’s flying off the shelf at Social Chair, the newly named “best gift shop in Mississippi.”

    Those are just a few of the stories already in the Notebook that you won’t find anyplace else. Expect to read about new businesses, get inside information on Coast restaurants and meet people you thought you knew or that you’d like to get to know better.

A USM grad, Lisa has written for too-many-to count publications and has held more than her share of editorships. She’s hosted a radio show and co-wrote a travel book about Mississippi.

    Recently her work for Success Magazine was recognized in min’s Editorial and Design Awards for "excellence in content and design among consumer and b-to-b media brands."

    She’s a regular contributor to Mississippi Business Journal and South Mississippi Living magazine, among others.

    A Bay St. Louis native, she appreciates the people, history and traditions of this unique community, which has plenty of stories to tell.

    Lisa also is a big fan of local festivals, restaurants and shops, the live music at 100 Men Hall and meeting up with friends at Second Saturday.
​
    She starts off every morning with a beach walk accompanied by Boudreaux, a Humane Society alum with a diverse background. The dog then sleeps all day while she works.
