Recession takes toll on Carnival krewes
Hurricane Katrina’s lingering effects played a role in Aquila’s inability to roll this year, but it was the tanking economy that provided the knockout blow. Members struggling with their own finances could no longer justify spending hundreds of dollars to throw beads for three hours.
Some say it’s a story of the haves and have-nots, survival of the strongest.
