Good idea. I'm not familiar with that area of Shreveport.

 

It's part of downtown, right by the convention center, strip club, and casinos. Nothing there and honestly would be a huge undertaking to make anything of the site. Shreveport lacks individuals with enough money and foresight to accomplish anything like this, so I don't see it ever happening. Besides, on those occasions where I feel like catfishing from the bank, that's one of my favorite areas. If not for the hobos living down there, it's quite a great natural resource. Let's not screw it up by urbanizing it... although as I said already, I don't see it happening, so I'm not at all worried about it.

Welcome to the forum!

 

One question, would you rather keep the bums or develop it?

Emory would say develop it, but he's my yuppie city boy side. And he's not here right now to argue. But the rest of us aren't city boys and we say don't develop it. We enjoy fishing there.

I just noticed today that a WalMart Neighborhood Market is under construction on Shed Road in Bossier, across from Fred's and Stockwell Elementary School. I Googled this and discovered that there is also one planned for Old Minden Road in Bossier, just about 1/2 mile down East Texas Street from the Albertson's store.

RES 199A

A resolution in support of the concept of an Atlanta/Jackson/Shreveport/Dallas high-speed rail system and to otherwise provide with respect thereto

Why in the blazing hell is something like this not in the works with Baton Rouge, Houston, NOLA, and Atlanta?

Did anyone else hear about the P. F. Changs and the Cafe Du Monde coming to the shreveport bossier area

There is not even a Cafe Du Monde in Baton Rouge...seems strange for them to skip the BR market and go to Shreveport. P.F. Changs seems more likely.
