Mobile has Mardi Gras too.

It may not be as big as it is in New Orleans, but Mobile was first.

Quote:
Mardi Gras in Mobile is the annual Carnival celebration in Mobile, Alabama. It is the oldest annual Carnival celebration in the United States, having started in 1703. This was fifteen years before New Orleans was founded, although today their celebrations are much more widely known. From Mobile being the first capital of French Louisiana (1702), the festival began as a French Catholic tradition. Mardi Gras in Mobile has now evolved into a mainstream multi-week celebration across the spectrum of cultures in Mobile, becoming school holidays for the final Monday and Tuesday (some include Wednesday),regardless of religious affiliation.

So is Mobile Mardi Gras done in French accented by Spanish filtered thru Cuban dialect?

Am really sorry. I really enjoyed this place in the past.
Well it got better for a few days but it's back in the shitter again.

I see was you are saying, the ridiculous exasperating border jumper kids thread by the usual suspects exists as just another flimsy stretch to discredit the POTUS and the present admin.
