When Mardi Gras started, boxes of cracker jacks were thrown from the floats. Moon pies started being thrown because the Cracker Jacks boxes were too hard. Moon pies are thrown in Mobile and New Orleans.

Classic, awesome roadside stuff! Learned new stuff about Mardi Gras, the traveler center/diner looked like Jungle Jim put it together! Yes, nothing like traveling 12 hours and being told they don’t have your reservation! In my case, the same company owned a couple of hotels and put my reservation at one of their hotels up the street by mistake, which we ended up liking better, so we lucked out.

That's my neck of the woods! The train gas station used to be way more popular before the Buc-Ees was built down the road a few years ago. Speaking of hotel check-in tensions... Most the times, I see the issues being when rooms are booked via a 3rd party. I also book straight from the hotel's website with not an issue yet.
