Mardi Gras a bust?

   While today is Fat Tuesday as some call it, Mardi Gras is underway in New Orleans, and some people are not too pleased about it.

    One former resident of New Orleans is still not able to move back there and pick up his life as he left it.  He and a few otheres find themselves angry and upset that tourists and other residents are celebrating Fat Tuesday in a city that should be uder major construction.  “With them putting on Mardi Gras, without still having not addressed the basic human needs in this city, why that’s just a slap in the face,” he said.

     Others, say they wish they were there and miss the parades, and all they hype that always came along with the Mardi Gras celebration.

      Until now, the streets are packed, but not nearly as much as before, and the people will be celebrating.  For what though, is the question of some.
