NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Swarms of fans are greeting the Super
Bowl-winning Saints, showering them with "Who Dat!" chants and
the sense the team is returning to a rejuvenated New Orleans.
Aside from bringing a championship to a hard-luck city, Sunday's
win over the Indianapolis Colts is feeding feelings the city can
overcome the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and solve long-standing
problems.
Forty-six-year-old Dwight Henry, co-owner of the Buttermilk Drop
bakery and cafe, says the win is yet another example of the city's
resiliency.
In another sign of change, New Orleans elected Mitch Landrieu as
mayor on Saturday to replace term-limited Ray Nagin.
