 Fillhart and Butler were quoted in men’s online journal Thrillist in “The Mississippi Artist Paradise You Had No Idea Existed,” an article that focuses on the forward-thinking and creative atmosphere of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 

The popular Thrillist internet site describes itself as "a leading men's digital lifestyle brand, providing all that's new, unknown or under-appreciated in food, drink, entertainment, nightlife, gadgets, and gear ..."

Excerpt:
“A lot of artists have been through some sort of struggle and they identify with the people here,” says Martha Whitney, who runs the French Potager floral/bridal shop in Bay St. Louis. 

“The blues began here,” says the missionary-turned-restaurateur [Fillhart]... “To me, it was a broken community that rebuilt itself with the treasure it always had: art and music.”

 
The article also contains a photograph of Bay St. Louis’s Beach Blvd during Cruisin' the Coast by the Shoofly's publisher, Ellis Anderson.

Read the entire article, by Matt Meltzer, here.
