Anonymous - Pride


Pride in Our City—

Jazz Fest

Mardi Gras

Voodoo Fest

Culture

Food

But the greatest of all, Black and Gold + Superdome.

No one will understand the thrill and rush that a New Orleanian gets when the Saints win. Although they can be viewed as just a team, they are a symbol of pride for each individual.

We take pride in our city, but what would pride be for New Orleans without the Saints?
