2010 was the first year I actually noticed these ‘only in Louisiana' variations on Old Glory – the flag of the United States. This one was flying from the porch of a house on Napoleon Avenue in New Orleans. I'm fairly sure these flags have passed through my line of vision in prior years also but 2010, following the Saint's Superbowl win, these flags were in relative abundance along the parade routes to the point they could not be ignored.
On many of the parade routes, toilets are few and far between. If you don't know someone who lives close by, finding a rest room can be a challenge. During parade season you may notice portable toilets set out on the ‘neutral ground' or central reservation separating the traffic lanes, but these are usually rented by a group and locked for their use only. Consequently, one has to navigate a fine line to stay hydrated but not overly so!
