Flying the Flags

It's Carnival season once again. This is a picture of the Downman House at the corner of St. Charles Ave and Third Street this morning. The flags indicate the household's "royal" lineage. Because this is the only home of a former Rex currently on the Uptown parade route, Rex crosses the street and stops here for a toast on Fat Tuesday.



I wrote some more about the "Old Line Krewes" and their flags in this post last year.
