St. Louis is said to have the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the country normally. There was speculation that this year’s celebration might be larger than New Orleans because of the devastation left from Hurricane Katrina. They were expecting up to a half million people in the historic Soulard area for the party. The outdoor part of the partying is scheduled to end at 8 pm local time. Bars will close at 11 pm.
The scene was like this for quite a few blocks after the parade. It was a chilly day, with a high about 43 degrees. It was 63 degrees yesterday i here. The weather didn’t seem to deter the crowd in the least.

What about Mobile, Alabama? The original birthplace of Mardi Gras!
