It’s a strange choice, but Universal’s brand of Mardi Gras is kinda like a greatest hits of New Orleans culture/stereotypes. To most, it makes sense because it’s everything they know about New Orleans, but as someone from the area, it is jarring.The facade (I haven't seen it in person) looks a bit...disheveled
I though Mardi Gras was supposed to be bright colorful and fun?
IDK, It just seems like a bit of a depressing looking building lol
Fine to me too. Looks like the New Orleans I visited....Hopefully, no smells of rotting garbage, and remnants of beer, though.I actually really like the tribute store facade.

The voodoo/witchcraft aspect is very much it’s own separate thing IRL. Mardi Gras much more steeped in mythology and royalty.
im guessing person who designed the facade or is the Tribute store lead, took a trip to New Orleans and connected with Preservation Hall

They've admitted that they wanted to bring the spooky aspects of Nawlins with the store, as the rest of the event is full of the bright colors, music, etc we associate with MG.
It’s not a right/wrong question. Artistic decisions are subjective. You may not like it, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.^ They can admit that all they want, doesn't make it right
You're shouting into the void there.It’s not a right/wrong question. Artistic decisions are subjective. You may not like it, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Yes, I'm super unagreeable and always looking for a fightYou're shouting into the void there.
