I tell everyone now to stay at the new Home2Suites by Whole Foods nowadays.

The Wyndham across the street will be ready any day now

Plenty of nice areas/hotels in Shreveport, but not many options that you can see from Interstate.

Casinos are still fine, and on a Tuesday, you should be able to get a cheap rate. As said above, Live! just opened, Margaritaville is the next newest.

No, basically it boils down to…people just like to bitch & complain about anything. Same thing can happen anywhere. There are numerous decent & nice hotels to stay-in around SBC. It’s really not that hard.

We survived… vehicle also made it without being broken into, now we are getting the heck out of here! Lesson learned, will avoid Shreveport now!
We have a good story to tell now.

Also stopped at Hollywood Liquor last night around 10pm, I thought it was weird that you couldn’t go inside and has to go through a drive thru

Now leaving during the daylight. There are a lot of beauty supply stores and bars on windows!

Take Boise for example. They have the Boise River, which by our standards is basically a wide creek. However, they have dumped money into the infrastructure around the river for decades to make it a feature of living in Boise. There's a greenbelt, sandbars, parks, dog parks, food trucks, commercial real estate, and beautification all along it. People float it in the summer, fish it year-round, etc. When something is going to change, it's a big deal. There are meetings, the local publications write about it, people will bring it up in conversation. I rarely see that sort of thing down here and it's sad. The waterways here have a lot more potential if people would treat things nice and not make an arse of themselves in public. This is not specific to one demographic, because throughout my life I've seen plenty of white people making an arse of themselves on boats on Kincaid Lake.

Boise is high trust.
Shreveport is low trust.

That’s the final answer as to what’s different. Now, what causes the one to be high trust and the other to be low trust? That’s up for debate.

The lesson here is to learn to use street view in Google Maps. You can tell a lot by looking at the neighborhood where something is located.

Yeah, OP acted scared to death and then goes to a liquor store at 10 pm?

Something doesn't add up.

Exactly. It’s not like we don’t have a few Cracker Barrel’s sprinkled around for North La folks that get lost.
