its mobile. the birthplace of mardi gras.

Yes! Mobile was the original capitol of New France/Old Louisianna. Biloxi Miss. was also a French capitol and had a large creole population. I am a direct descendant of the Creoles of Mobile and Clarke Cajans not Cajun. There were several multi racial isolated communites besides Louisiana Creole. And not just river communities. Most were mountain colonies. Like the Melungeons. The Melungeons and the Cajuns are officialy recognized by the government. Creoles are still working on it.

also the first creole colony was documented in historical counts as being in Mobile. Not New ORleans

i know your not. i dont know much more than what i have seen in documenturies like these and what i have done research for in projects

like i said earlier i dont live in Mobile,but about 22 miles eastnortheast of it in Bay Minette.

the things i know are from history classes and research.

Creole restaurants- Chef True's restaurant is the only one i can name from memory.

Just so you'd know, i've located two(2) "Creole" restaurants in or near Mobile. The names are, Guy's Gumbo Shack in Fairhope, Al. and Sherri's Heavenly Creole Cafe in Mobile. The menu listed for Guy's sounds like a place i'd love to eat if i were in Mobile, but i didn't see a bill of fare for "Sherri's".

I'm not being critical, don't get me wrong, i'm only curious about Mobile's Creoles as i'm currently learning about Lafayette, La. Creoles. Can you give me some feed-back on Mobiles' Creoles? Are you familiar with the "Cane River Creoles" of Louisiana ? What about Creoles of N.O. ? Also, where are the "Creole" restaurants in Mobile ? Where can i learn about this "Jubilee" you're talking about ? Check out the video "Fauborg Treme', The untold story of Blacks of New Orleans".

[dsjj251]

That doesnt mean they arent there.

JUbilee only happens in one place in te world(mobile bay) but you dont see web sites about it

[nola305]

I googled, "Creoles in Mobile", and i got something on Creole firemen, and a Creole lady who later moved to N.O. There's nothing about Creoles in Mobile on youtube either. If there's many more Creoles in Mobile than N.O.(as you said), then where's the Creole restaurants,festivals,zydeco,a­nd musicians?If Mobile gave N.O. it's culture, (Creoles incl.), Mobile should be FULL of gumbo,jambalaya,boudin,andouil­le,etc. Creoles mostly live amongst their own, so where's the Creole comm. in Mobile ?

Also i was on the NOLA mardi Gras web site.

it doesnt tell of Mardi Gras outside of New Orleans, Hence the

Q: When was the first Mardi Gras?

A: The first Mardi Gras parade was held in New Orleans on February 24, 1857 by the Krewe of Comus. They began the tradition of presenting a parade with floats and following it with a ball for the krewe and their guests.

the website is specific to New Orleans
