Holloway mending: Mayor A.J. Holloway is expected to return to his City Hall office sometime after Mardi Gras. Holloway has worked from home since being released from the hospital on Feb. 12, after surgery to repair a perforated colon caused by diverticulitis. “He's let us know that he's anxious to get back to his office,” said David Staehling, the city's director of administration. “We touch base with him at least a couple of times a day at this point.”

Contest winners: Winners in the Mardi Gras Shoe Box Float Contest and the Mississippi Coast History Week art contest were recognized this week at City Hall. To see the names and photos of the winners and photos of the winning floats, click here.

Sculptures update: NBC News correspondent Mark Potter reports that daily coverage of the stimulus package and the national economy continues to push back the planned Night News segment on Biloxi's Katrina sculptures. Potter trades e-mails with the mayor's office two or three times a week and promises to alert local audiences when the segment will air. Sculptor Marlin Miller and his wife, meantime, have accepted an invitation from Mayor A.J. Holloway to view the Mardi Gras parades from the City Hall reviewing stand on Tuesday.
