The Community - Shreveport, Louisian
Quite possibly one of the greatest things that can be said about the community of Shreveport is how this population fully embraces their environment and locale with their prime, established home in the tri-state area. Because their city is located at the edge of the Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas state area, they are able to reshape and redefine the way life is enjoyed. They honor the outdoor excursions like Arkansas, take pride in their culture like Texas, and entice all with a spice that can only be found in Louisiana. Shreveport-Bossier is on new footing, and they're shaking up the ever-expanding possibilities of experiencing their home in all the ways imaginable. Moving forward with a fresh start means making all who come feel right at home with some good ole' Southern hospitality. Explore lucky casinos while gambling on the river and extend your time with the never-ending possibilities of the nightlife available. Dining is inspirational here with opportunity to experience elite, top of the line cuisine or true southern soul food at any of the local mom and pop joints. Not to mention the literal list of festivals and annual events that this incredibly under-stated city holds for all to partake and celebrate.
