Shreveport Convention Center Losses More Than Expected

[Rough Rider]

That convention center seems like a huge Cluster@#$@3.
and I have to say that hotel is one ugly looking thing.
I can only imagine what kind of 'lovely' view there is from the Hotel 'Hightower' ???

Ya know, if they had built the Convention center and Hotel in south Shreveport (right next to Holmes Honda for instance), and filled it with merchandise and food, then maybe it would be a better success. Likewise if the convention center was more like CenturyTel in nature, but with a hotel attached, then maybe we could out-do Bossier for once. But no, we had to build it in a high crime area a mile south of a stink rendering plant. Why? So we can host the lawn and garden and gun and knife and boat shows?

I say convert the whole thing to a sports and concert arena and bring in a Shreveport team of some sort. (after capping the lid on that stink plant)
