• Remembering Pelican Pointe (mobilebaymag.com) — Longtime locals who drove past the Grand Hotel in Point Clear toward County Road 1 will remember Pelican Pointe Grill, the pink waterfront bar-restaurant that became a beloved Baldwin County hangout before Hurricane Ivan. This feature looks back at its wild Sundays, signature food, and lasting influence on local place names, while also hinting at a possible new restaurant on the old site.
   

• Fedviews and Fedspeak Monitor 5/11/26 - New Baseline: 2027 H1 Hike (employamerica.org) — Point Clear gets a brief but notable mention as St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem recently told Mississippi bankers there that inflation risks now outweigh employment concerns. His comments, part of wider debate inside the Federal Reserve, reinforce expectations that interest rates may stay higher for longer, with a possible hike in 2027 if inflation doesn’t ease meaningfully.
