New To New Orleans: The Saints Who Came Marching In

The World

A new report by the U.S. Census Bureau says that the population of New Orleans grew faster than any other city in America. Who is behind the Big Easy’s growth spurt? The Takeaway talks with Jaime Peters and Marcie Dickson. They both moved to New Orleans within the past year and they’ll tell us why. We’re also joined by Lolis Eric Elie, a reporter for the New Orleans Times Picayune.
