Sometimes You Can Go Home Againnew

When the Endymion super krewe was forced to adopt the Uptown parade route in 2006, it didn't sit well with the captain, krewe members or the fans. Happily, Endymion's return this year to its traditional Mid-City route serves as a reminder that Mardi Gras is more than a celebration; it evokes a sense of place. It also reminds us that a parade can have a huge impact on the collective psyche of a neighborhood on the mend.
