Tired of their royalty being delayed because Zulu can't matriculate down the route.

LINK

quote:

Starting in 2025, the Rex Court will view the parade from a reviewing stand at Pascal’s Manale Restaurant on Napoleon Avenue, much earlier in the route than the customary spot at The InterContinental Hotel at the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Poydras Street.

The reason for the change is timing. The Rex Court — the queen, eight maids, debutants that will be presented at the Rex ball, and others — must depart the reviewing stands by 2 p.m. in order to prepare for the ball later that evening. In past years, this has forced the court to miss the latter part of the procession

Zulu is a horrible parade. Some of the shittiest floats in Orleans.

Their organizational skills are horrible. The whole parade is a wate of space on MG Day.

Not one single lie detected here

This should be said more, but the cowards in NOLA are still scared of the woke mob like its 2020

All Mardi Gras day parades suck. True residents hit the streets of the marigny and quarter.

Zulu is a fun parade to witness.

The problem is, they need to be on their own day. Or, parade after Rex (you can get rid of the trucks, they are dying out quickly).

It's fine if they want to strut down the route for 9 hours, but you can't have anyone behind them.

So will the court be sucking down oysters while they wait on the parade?

Things vitally important to NOLA that literally nobody else in the world cares about for 200, Alex.

Truth be told, Mardi Gras parades on Mardi Gras Day suck generally

If the court was still at the Boston Club on Canal St, it would be tea time by the time Rex got there.

Boston Club history
quote:

In 1992, the club declined to erect their viewing stands as protest against the city’s newly instituted bias ordinance, concerned that the stands would present them as a public accommodation rather than a private club. While they were later victorious in their lawsuit against the city, Rex had already accepted the formal invitation, delivered by limousine, from the Intercontinental Hotel on St. Charles Avenue to make his traditional toast there. It continues at the hotel today.

Mardi Gras day is a huge letdown. Most locals celebration ends after Bacchus Sunday.

The Pickwick Club hosts the Comus court Mardi Gras day. That’s probably done as well.

It incredible that Rex is still subsidizes Zulu.

Rex has been supporting zulu for years, but they both are underwhelming parades.

Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras day is when you should be in quarter versus on the route.
