Residents in Abbeville and throughout the parish were excited after the New Orleans Saints claimed the Super Bowl Title. Some residents celebrated by yelling and blowing their horns while driving in their vehicles after the game.
Others celebrated by igniting leftover fireworks from New Years Eve and Christmas.

OPINION
The Galveston Years: When war was great fun
editorial by Duncan Boutwell
Posted February 4th, 2010 by Chris Rosa
We are at war. But we act as though we live in peaceful, soon-to-be-prosperous times. We ought to know better. It is as though the house is on fire, we can even smell the smoke, but we don’t call the fire department. We think we are the fire department.
Korea, or Viet Nam weren’t wars but “police actions,” undeclared by the US Congress as required by the Constitution. Iraq and Afganistan aren’t wars either, but there is a difference, Before, we only got killed overseas. September 11th showed us that the bad guys will come to us.
