My business partner and fellow writer r.r. bryan, is also from Louisiana. Yesterday, he told me something that both of us found hard to believe.
“Did you know they cancelled a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans?”
I didn’t know. Mardi Gras parades are never cancelled or postponed. They always go off on schedule, even in a driving New Orleans rainstorm. The cause of the cancellation – Saints mania.
Sunday marks the first Super Bowl appearance for the New Orleans Saints and the city is practically locked-down in anticipation. School is cancelled, jury trials put on hold and some restaurants closing for the first time ever for non-holiday events.
Sunday is a historic day in the Big Easy, a sports-happy city that has patiently awaited this even for more than four decades.
