The Big Easy embraces the Saints

The World

The New Orleans Saints are this year’s Super Bowl champions and their home city is celebrating. This is a bright time for a city that has suffered much since Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005.

Super Bowl MVP, Drew Brees was teary eyed as he accepted his trophy, saying, “we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us.” We hear from Jim Spaulding, manager of the city’s Avenue Pub, who has kept his bar open all night and get reactions from WNYC engineer and producer, Jason Isaac.
