Wouldn’t you rather roll uptown? Less crime? Nicer areas.
I love the mid city portion of our route. The people and the atmosphere. We generate alot of economic revenue for that area. It's like a symbiotic relationship. It's also part of what makes Endymion unique.

Maybe a stupid question but why does the mask matter?
City ordinance as stated. Endymioon actually pays people to sit along the route and take pictures of riders without mask on. I have heard the BS that the city fines them but not so sure about that. Endymion has tons of people lined up to join and unless your really in with a float LT or someone high up, you are just a number and will be replaced if you sneeze wrong

They should just put every parade on Sat to the MidCity route.
It was a lot cooler back in the day when parades rolled random routes thorough the city. Also helped keep the crowds from building up so much in one area.

Oh I bet they do.
Coty had their way everybody would be on the traditional uptown route.

You people really need to educate yourselves on the history and what Mardi Gras is about.

My thoughts exactly.
It's a parade. Everybody loves a parade!

Terrible whenever this happens. I just don’t understand it.

Little historical trivia: does anyone know why Zulu wears black paint instead of masks?

But yet, no one cares that Zulu can go wherever they choose.

I am safe. I have gone to a Mardi Grad parade before. Makes you think.

Nah.
Endymion will stay in MidCity until they are forced uptown.

Something about warriors
But I’m sure all the other know it alls around here will downvote me and tell me how wrong I am.

I’m legitimately terrified to see Latoyas response to this.
