CBD - As New Orleans gets ready to open the Mardi Gras Mainline down St. Charles Ave. on Friday, Mayor Mitch gathered city officials and the press today to remind everyone that there will be police officers everywhere during Mardi Gras, that it is possible to be rude to others on the parade route and that the City of New Orleans now employs elbow grease.
I know we can't make it perfect but if NOPD would actively discourage the use excessive deployment of tents and festival chairs along the route, the experience could be quickly improved for a great many folks. This is something of a pet peeve of mine so expect updates as we go along.
Update: Gambit has a copy of this year's "Be nice at Mardi Gras" press release which you can read here.
