Location Scout Mardi Gras
As we all know, Mardi Gras is a big annual event in New Orleans and in fact along most of the Gulf (of Mexico) Coast; this year Fat Tuesday (this is what the French phrase “mardi gras” translates to in English…) was yesterday, Tuesday February 5th, 2008.

One of my fondest family memories is going to visit my Grandmother at her home in Gulfport, MS and the two us going to about a half dozen local Mardi Gras parades in little towns along the coast over a period of several days during Mardi Gras one year and meeting up with other relatives in Mobile (AL) for Fat Tuesday.
