Curtain Drops On Mardi Gras

Once the Order of Myths finished parading, it was time for the "Order of Cleanup" to begin.

When asked how many people he had working Tuesday night, Supervisor Alvin Porter with the City of Mobile said, "Generally, about 75 to 80 people."

And, there were plenty of different jobs that needed to be done.

Porter said, "The Traffic Engineering, barricade guys, move the barricades. We come, then, with the water trucks, and then, come with the sweepers."

When asked what time he hoped the crews would be finished Tuesday night, Porter said before 1am.

But Wednesday, they'll be back at work again.

When asked what he thought of the people who did this, Porter said, "They're the best. They're the best."
