Opinion: Shreveport is more like NOLA than Dallas but much much more like MS, AL than E TX

Demographics of Dallas (not exact): 42% Hispanic, 30% White, 22% Black. Completely different demographics than Shreveport. Culture is much more Uppity than LA
Demographics of Nola: 59% Black, 34% White, 5% Hispanic. Nearly identical to Shreveport
Demographics of Shreveport: 57% Black, 37% White, 3% Hispanic. Nearly identical to Nola, but obviously different culture in terms of French owning pre 1800's.
All this to say that Shreveport is more like Nola than Dallas, but if you really want to compare Shreveport to the most similar region, Mississippi and Alabama are the best to compare to. People in Shreveport talk extremely similarly to MS, AL in my experience, like to bass fish, hunt, dip, like college football, cultures are similar. Your average 25 year old in Dallas does not like these things. In my experience, this culture extends like 50 miles into Texas. East Texas came after Shreveport in terms of white settling.

Sorry for being against treating the state like your own personal garbage can.

Shreveport
Gets a lot of shite, deservedly. It has crime and violence problems.
Coming from a small town in CENLA, I love Shreveport and the things it has to offer. Good location between Dallas, Texarkana and BR/NOLA when it comes to travel.
I live in a good area of town, and very rarely put myself in position to be taken advantage of by going to bad areas at the wrong time.
Pro tip: The biscuits and gravy at Shoppers Value on Jewella just South of Hollywood are the best I've ever had. That said, I go between 6-8:30 am. And I go strapped.

I’m from Nola and reside in Shreveport and I agree. Only thing is all the Cowboys fans here. Have to go to Monroe to get to the Saints fans, maybe Ruston

Is being like NOLA a good thing in this comp?
Because I’d rather live a lot of places, including Dallas-which I loathe, than New Orleans.

Baw culture extends well past 50 miles, especially in NETx.

Shreveport is very similar to Montgomery, AL. Both decaying cities that are long gone from their heyday and with meh suburbs.

Wow, you put some research into this. Now do….Bossier.

Shreveport is not like the 4th largest metro in the US. More at 10!

Being an Alabamian, I'm not sure I'd rather be compared to Shreveport or New Orleans

Shreveport is so awful. It’s way worse than any other city in Louisiana. It’s falling apart and they’re doing nothing about it.
Say what you want about Br and Nola but it has some good qualities I’m not going to list. Can’t say the same for shitport

In Summary, Shreveport is closer in proximity to Dallas than New Orleans, but it most closely resembles Jackson, Mississippi?

What a shitty alter

You are describing most of rural America. My in laws and their friends in Idaho fit all of the above. Travel baseball isn’t as big a deal but it’s cold a lot of the year. They trout fish but have some nice lakes around too.
As far as overall southern culture, east Texas definitely fits.. once you get to Dallas and Austin not as much.

Dang, NOLA is only 60% black and Latoya still wins by a landslide? Obviously most city voters think she's going a good job.

It’s still Louisiana, you dolt. Get the frick out before you’re carjacked or your house gets broken into.
