                       BAY ST. LOUIS, MISSISSIPPI

  (Mr. EZELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. EZELL. Madam Speaker, I am excited to share that Bay St. Louis, 
Mississippi, has recently been named one of the best places to live in 
2024.
  This charming Mississippi Gulf Coast town, often referred to as part 
of the secret coast, has gained national attention for its many outdoor 
activities and strong sense of community.
  When I visit, I immediately can feel that the folks of Bay St. Louis 
take pride in supporting one another and working together to make it a 
better place for everyone.
  Some of the city's main attractions include a resilient seaside 
downtown area with many historic eateries, monthly art walks, and, of 
course, the beachside atmosphere. It embodies the small-town feel with 
big cultural energy.
  Also, because of its easy access to many waterways, including the 
Gulf of Mexico and the Jourdan River, flowing

to the Bay St. Louis bay, this coastal city has been a key participant 
in the renewal of the Gulf's oyster population.
  Bay St. Louis is a place apart, and I am honored to represent this 
community in Congress, and I encourage all Members to visit.
  I congratulate this wonderful community on such a well-deserved 
recognition.
