The view from yesterday

Napoleon Avenue crowd
Napoleon Avenue neutral ground during the Thoth parade yesterday.

There wasn't time to snap more photos once we got to St. Charles but, believe me, it was even crazier looking than this. We had a great time but I'm wondering more and more it the route consolidation plus the city's refusal to enforce its own ordinances regarding space hogging on the neutral ground isn't turning St. Charles Avenue and the neighborhoods it traverses into another Bourbon Street. Each year I hear more and more stories about the increasing intensity of the frat-party atmosphere out there.

This afternoon it looks every bit as bad. More later but now I've got stuff to prepare for tomorrow.
