It doesn’t really mean anything. International doesn’t even mean it gets passenger service.

Yeah, but then you have to live in Mobile. No thanks

Mobile will never surpass New Orleans in any category.
No amount of pterodactyl cages installed atop your 2 or 3 downtown buildings will get you there.

I actually enjoy Mobile

Friend,
Please at least be reasonable when typing your thread title and premise. Mobile’s GDP is a fraction of New Orleans’ GDP. The city’s biggest economic investment is ship building through the government and Aerobus, both coups for the city, but as a whole the city trails its much bigger and more important sister to the west.
New Orleans has a better downtown, a better airport, more interesting history, vastly superior food, including king cake that is actually edible unlike the tragedy that is Pohlman’s Bakery (even last year’s attempt to change a century’s old recipe and copy Randazzo’s was a spectacular failure), a Mardi Gras that makes the cumulative Mobile Mardi Gras experience look like the NY Yankees in Interstellar, and an economy that could freeze in time the next century and still surpass Mobile’s. 102 billion vs 29 billion was last year’s number, despite your message board photo source.
Whatever good Mobile produced in the past, be it Mardi Gras krewes two centuries after New Orleanians first celebrated Mardi Gras or Sam Zemurray and his bananas, they find their way out of Mobile and to the real crown jewel of the Gulf South, New Orleans.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

It’s kinda aggravating BR never got one. I know NO is right there but it would be nice to just drive in the same city and go to the airport instead of an hour to NO to fly
They should have built an international airport in Ascension back in the day and the metro areas would have grown towards it like DFW did for Dallas - Fort Worth.

Never fails to enrage the baws that Alabama beat them to Mardi gras too.

Friend,
New Orleanians were celebrating Mardi Gras in what became Louisiana in the 1600s, long before Mobile was. I suggest you reread what I wrote.

The I-14 corridor will eventually be a bigger death blow to New Orleans than whatever Mobile does.. Spurs to ports in Texas and Mississippi and none for Louisiana. Trucks no longer with the harsh trip to escape New Orleans. I guess Cedric Richmond forgot where he was from in meetings.

Alabama did not have Mardi Gras before Louisiana and I will bet thousands on that.

I'll be dead before that is finished.

I said eventually but folks looking at long term port development for many cargo types will slowly abandon New Orleans toi begin setting up for when it is finished. .

I don’t what you put there, Mobile will always be trashy. Like the old saying goes, it’s like putting lipstick on a PIG.

“Apparently, as early 1703, the French held a type of Mardi Gras celebration in Mobile,” she says. “New Orleans wasn’t founded until 1718. Therefore, strictly speaking, Mobile had the earliest celebration of the two cities.”

Having lived in both the last 10 years, Mobile is superior in every way.
Posted on 12/19/24 at 8:04 pm to TripleBarrelBluff1
If we count the French founding cities as the beginning of time I guess.
