New Orleans’ Time to Shine
4 Feb

My apologies to Indianapolis. I am sure you are a fine city and fully respect the Colts and your cutie pie quarterback Peyton Manning. But it appears that 2010 is New Orleans’ year.
Not only are the Saints going to the Super Bowl for the first time, but it’s all happening at Mardi Gras time! I hear that the Big Easy is quite electric right now. Just take a look at the recent press about New Orleans and the Saints:
- The Saints are America’s Team [Salon]
- Miami Hotels Feeling ‘Who Dat?’ Fever [Gadling]
- Mardi Gras Has Nothing on Saints Mania [CNN]
- New Orleans Hotels Fill With Fans Rooting for Saints in Miami [Business Week]
And the Who Dat Nation Doesn’t Stop Just in New Orleans. Indeed it is also in Houston, where a number of N.O. natives were relocated after Hurricane Katrina. Many are saying that a win for the Saints may be just the thing for reviving the city after a long, slow recovery. And even if they don’t win, they certainly have a fun song to unite them all. Enjoy this Who Dat song and video from Ashley Forrestier:
