Happy Valentine's Day, New Orleans! Yes, we're wiped out from Mardi Gras, but we can still take a minute to celebrate our sweethearts.
Driving the news: New Orleanians are clever, so of course we are going to put a local twist on Valentine's messages.
Flashback: Sarah Tiambeng Cain and Jeremy Stewart created NOLA Valentines in 2014, according to WGNO, and the punny, New Orleans-centric messages were a hit.
- The cofounders have moved on to other projects, but the messages live on via social media.
