1 Reviews & Comments About Shreveport
I live in Shreveport,Louisiana. The past few years Shreveport has attained the nickname, The Ratchet City. I'm sorry to say that ratchet pretty much says it all. But I love Louisiana. It's really a great state. The people here are down to earth good folks. They will welcome a stranger and feed you the best food you've ever had! It's hard to find better food anywhere than Louisiana. If you love jazz, like I do, New Orleans is the place to be. But yes, Shreveport is not the city I grew up in. I've been here 61 years and it is sad to see how things have changed. It's really strange how even through the ugliness the hearts of the people are still filled with love.
