The city of New Orleans has come a long way since August 29^th, 2005, and the Saints’ 31-17 Super Bowl win over the Indianapolis Colts resonated as a symbolical convergence of five year’s worth of concentrated rehabilitation.  Everyone remembers the shots of a desolate Bourbon Street after Katrina wreaked its havoc on Southern Louisiana, so – last night –  it was thrilling to see the landmark regain its customary jocundity.  The Saints weren’t favorites in the contest and – mounting a come from behind victory – overcame the greatest point deficit in Super Bowl history to win their first Super Bowl.  On paper, it was an impossible victory.  Dogged persistence, however, proved the contrary.  I can’t think of a better conceit to sum up the progress of the city, itself.  Does work remain?  Absolutely.  Neither team nor town can rest on their laurels, but everyone at Julian Krinsky Camps & Programs could not be happier that New Orleans can add another – this time triumphant – date to their historic calendar: February 7^th, 2010.
