As a former Mobilian, I hereby disown Tim Apple and disallow him from attending Mardi Gras and Joe Cain Day parades. One more wrong move and he's losing his crawfish privileges as well.,(reply>), @Matthew Ducote Having spent time in both, each has its pros and cons. Mobile's festivities are more G-rated and the roads are better among other things.,(reply>), I know Mobile was the first home of Mardi Gras in the US, butttt…. Let’s be honest, who goes to Alabama for Mardi Gras and crawfish? That’s NOLA’s bag sir
