With all respect, and pardon my French, that is a ****ty thing to say. Please read my recent "featured article" on the Top 10 reasons to live in Shreveport-Bossier. I once spoke to a New Yorker who moved to Shreveport and was once stuck in 3-4 hours a day of traffic on his daily grind to work in NY and he moved to Shreveport and found heaven. Everything is relative.
I heard that Demi Moore did not like Shreveport (she had a house in Southern Trace) but I do hear that Kevin Costner and Samuel Jackson do indeed like our area. Who knows why? Maybe they are burnt out on the glitzy life of Tinsel Town and enjoy the deep heritage that is Louisiana. We may be be ugly at times but we are genuine. Few states can claim to be the home of a new genre of music for instance. (Jazz) LOL, in fact the US can barely claim more than Louisiana in that respect.
