Umm who cares?!!? No one in Detroit that wants to go to Mardi Gras is picking mobile over NOLA.

Wife: Hmmm...let’s take a trip honey. I really want to go to Mardi Gras.

Husband: me too! Let’s go to Nola

Wife: well mobile is the first place to have Mardi Gras scrap NOLA

Husband: you are right. Mobile it is.

According to a story on the AL.com website, braggartly billboards have appeared in New Orleans, Slidell and points east, crowing that the first American Mardi Gras took place in Mobile, Alabama. The Slidell sign says "You are 114 miles from America's Original Mardi Gras."

in NOLA, you take offense to anything when you have higher political aspirations in life.

Do they take offense?

Or is it just something to laugh at?

They don't. The only people who take offense to that are people who don't live in NOLA. Same concept as northeastern white liberals betting upset about the Florida Seminole name despite the actual Seminole tribe approving of it.

I think people in Mobile are the insecure ones.

People from New Orleans just laugh at Mobile when they claim its the original Mardi Gras. Like anyone gives a shite



ETA

Insecure about where the "original" Mardi Gras is. Obviously New Orleans folks have plenty of other insecurities.

We've done this thread already. The only people more insecure than NOLA residents are all the haters in the suburbs.

Even if true, it would be like the Wright Brothers family putting a bill board in front of Boeing or AirBus headquarters. Who cares who invented it? Who does it better now?

I think the NOLA residents are more insecure because they think the "haters" in the subburb are actually jealous of them

Dont tell that to Mitch, he might suddenly take an interest in the "racist" roots of mardi gras and "heal" New Orleans by ending it.
