Cleveland Escorts: A good kind of storm
It’s fun cheering for the Saints, even for a day. You can’t have a heart and not be a Saints fan in this town. From Canal Street to the Rue Bourbon to Jackson Square to the levies holding back the Mississippi River, New Orleans was living and dying with their team. It’s wasn’t just sports. It was a team and a city in recovery from decades of losing and a hurricane that nearly wiped it off the map.
I’m sure that people in Indianapolis love their Colts just as much, but I can’t see the streets filled with insane fans like New Orleans this past week. Then again, it was 22 degrees in Indianapolis at game time.
The French Quarter was turned into Times Square on New Year’s Eve, Carnival in Rio and the food fight scene in
Animal House
all rolled into one. Beers were $1 for a tall boy. Jell-O shots were two for $5. Daiquiris with names like Thug Passion, Pimp Juice and Wassuppp? were $12 for a 44-ouncer.
