can't even get a dog park
It's coming. We have had massive flooding in that area like 3 times over the last 1.5 years, so...
They shut down the dog park a few years ago before the floods. So I don't how that relates. All Shreveport has going for it is casinos, they tried the red light district under the bridge and everything in there failed.

No. They didn't. It got approved last year.

Thats just not true. That may be our highest tourism function, but definitely not representative of the City. In the past few years, and in an effort to shift some of the focus away from oil and gas, Shreveport, through a number of entities both public and private, has become a hub for startup companies, mostly biotech and pharma. There is some pretty cool stuff coming along that is actually hiring people. You will not see the huge revenue like you see in other places, but its happening. Takes years to actually get to market, but the fact is, they ar ehiring really smart people.
Also, the cyber innovation center, although in Bossier, has brought some cool tech companies to downtown Shreveport, including Cyber Reef Solutions, which is an investment of the North Louisiana Angel Fund which is located in Shreveport.

Because they can't/won't police certain demographics down there. When it first opened, it was nice. A month later it looked like an outdoor version of Kokopelli's.

We have one of the best breweries in the state located right in one of the oldest neighborhoods in town.

Fattys is still going strong. Nickeys and fully stacked are as well.
