Happy Mardi Gras, the people of Lafayette, New Orleans, and Mobile know how to spend a good time.

Meh. In Atlanta we drink 365.

Yea, it's a lot more than getting liquored up. But keep deluding yourselves, I'm sure Atlanta is party central for well Atlanta.

There's more? LOL

The difference between Atlanta and NO is one has a rich cultural significance and the other stopped being cared about after ludicrous stopped being famous. I'll let you guess which ones which...

You ever heard of MLK or Jimmy Carter?

New Orleans has continuously operating restaurants and bars that are older than Atlanta. ;-)

Lol I was just being facetious because of the salt thrown at the OP for celebrating Mardi Gras.

Ah yes. Lafitte's. So old they only have candlelight fixtures.(except the neon beer signs hanging behind the bar)

And, for those of you sober enough to notice.

Texas State hosts UTA on ESPN2 tonight.

Or Antoine's (1840). There was a couple older. The original Tujague's was from 1797, but it had a period where it was closed so it didn't count. The same was the case with The Old Absinthe House which originally opened in 1806 but was a coffee shop first and a bar from the late 1800's.

Yeah, the first place that comes to my mind when I think Mardi Gras is Atlanta

I must admit, I regret not going to Mardi Gras in NOLA when I was a young punk kid, who loved getting rowdy and was ok with possibly being thrown in jail over it.

Now? I fear that I'd not enjoy it as much because "it's too damn crowded!"

Mardi Gras is awesome, and I don't even drink.
