A Real Possibility

New Orleans hasn’t come this far by being overwhelmed with negative thoughts. Crescent City true believers desired to put this city back together after Hurricane Katrina, and they wanted to do it right. It has been nine years and two months since more than 80 percent of the city was under the waters of Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico, and the work at hand isn’t done yet. But we’ve come a long way, baby.

Positive thoughts have taken root both in our community and within our collective psyches. We really believe we can achieve great results by pulling together and doing the hard work.

We need to keep going. That also means supporting a very young, inexperienced but well-coached LSU football team; heading to the new stadium Uptown in its inaugural year to cheer on the Tulane Green Wave; and dreaming the ultimate dream the Saints returning to the Super Bowl.

In that spirit, one of our newest New Orleanians, the renowned author and lecturer and now the brains and brawn behind a new restaurant and bar, Latitude 29, in the French Quarter, Jeff “Beachbum” Berry – the ultimate definer of today’s Tiki culture – has done what he does best and created the Super Bowl.
