This week’s cover story: Gulfport Hurricane Recovery Spurs Gratitude

After one tropical storm and two hurricanes changed so much for so many in Gulfport, throughout recovery, Matt Acree has gratitude. Gulfport’s community spirit rallied quickly, embodied by the efforts of the team at the Gulfport Brewery + Eatery. Its fast response in feeding and providing supplies to people helped ease the collective trauma.

Later that evening, the Coliseum in St. Petersburg opened its doors for the first time.

When what some say is Gulfport’s oldest tree came down to make way for a new Winway home, tempers flared and the police were called.

Developer Winway Homes cut the tree to make room for a new build. Toffer Ross, Gulfport’s horticulturist, estimates the tree was between 200-300 years old.
