Best New Orleans article I've read all year.

Maybe because I live here and can't see the forest for the trees but I didn't think it was that great of an article - and I usually really enjoy Thompson's stuff. His article about his dad and Augusta National whipped up some dust in my office and I don't even care for golf.

Maybe having everyone hype this Saints article up before I read it pushed my expectations up too high. Or maybe I'm just sick of reading about how bad Katrina was. Whatever, I thought it was a trite article that didn't have much flow - something I would have read from an Intro to Journalism student.

I got choked up a little.

I don't understand how you couldn't love that article.

No matter how long between home visits or how many years pass since I lived there, my connection to South Louisiana is visceral. I sit here with tears and pride. Thanks for the link, it made my day.
