The Best Bourbon Street Video You Will See All Day

Like one of the announcers said during the game, "This city knows how to party." Captain Obvious agrees. And contrary to the punch line of a well-known local joke, hell has not frozen over!

After the game, the Hollywoods walked the three blocks to the Mississippi River Levee and we could actually hear the din coming from across the river. The Superdome is about two miles away as a crow flies and we could hear cheering and music bouncing off of the local buildings. We also saw spontaneous fireworks south of us on the Westbank (don't even ask how the compass directions work here...).

Going to the Super Bowl is a wonderful shot in the arm for our city, not just in terms of morale, but also for enjoying the focus of the entire world for the next couple weeks. Our local economy thrives on tourism, and New Orleans is really one of those places every American should see at least once. We also get a lot of international visitors as well, both for business and pleasure - though there is nothing wrong with mixing the two.

Y'all come! Laissez les bons temps rouler! Geaux Saints!
