re: City of Shreveport to shut off water to 3 apartment complexes next week

It also didn’t help that lefties and righties both seemed to hate Shreveport. They were all miserable. When a news article was posted about something new coming to town, it was all bitching and no excitement.

It's the strangest thing- maybe it goes on in other cities, too, but everyone is all 'There's nothing positive happening in Shreveport. Nothing to do, nowhere to go.'

Then something opens like the new piano bar in the Boardwalk, or a new movie studio, and those VERY SAME PEOPLE are all 'Location sucks, Boardwalk sucks, movies suck, that place will be gone in a year' like it's a self fulfilling prophecy. We're only here for our aging parents. We've already told our kids to go away for college. It's our hope that they find jobs elsewhere, then we move to wherever they go. But as long as our parents are still here, so are we.
