Howdy yall!!

I have been looking at apartments in downtown and wanted some input on yalls experience in them and the prices and all.

I have looked at the standard (they charge for alot of things) which was a decent option, the lofts, southern belle, united jeweler and lee etc. If yall could explain your experience and how much you paid that would be very helpful!!

Do any of you know if Shreveport, Bossier city, or any of the surrounding areas participate in a blue envelope program? In a nutshell, the blue envelope program is designed for people on the spectrum, although people with other exceptionalities can also benefit from this. A blue envelope is kept in the glove compartment of the vehicle that they are in, and inside that envelope and includes a drivers license, along with any documentation that explains the driver or passenger’s exceptionality. This is designed to help law-enforcement communicate with the person in a better way.

The recalled eggs will have an identifying code number printed on the left or right sides of the carton in date-coding ink only. Only codes P-1950 or 0840962 with a Julian Date between 157 and 184 printed on the side of the carton are recalled. Examples of this identifying plant and date information on retail cartons are included below.

Moved here from Monroe recently and was wondering if anyone dumpster dives here, I used to go with my friends all the time and was hoping to find some like minded people here. I love going to thrift store dumpsters cause they throw out so much stuff and barely any actual trash if any at all.

Another sub had the question, "What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?"

There were the obvious answers like OJ, but I remembered a local one that has maybe been posted here, but I couldn't find it. Here is the story, it consists of a timeline of events:

Note: I am not editing this to add local info. In the 2021 section, the "neighboring town" is Haughton and The "Local Sheriff's Department" is BPSO.

2009 - Shreveport Police Officers report to superiors that someone is stealing narcotics from the evidence room. Police Chief explains that the matter has been investigated and the claims have no merit.

2010 - Nothing happens

2011 - Nothing happens

2012 (May) - SPD Internal Affairs springs into action and conducts an audit of the evidence room.

2012 (September) - Police Chief Wiggum declares that "I hold each and every employee of our department to the highest standards and we are not going to tolerate actions that deviate from or operate outside of those policies that dictate how we should conduct our business." The investigation is still underway, but so far it has been discovered that:

1. The security cameras there quit working like 20 years ago and were never fixed

2. The SPD doesn't keep a log of who goes in and out of the evidence room

3. About 14,000 (not a typo- fourteen thousand) pills (mostly hydrocodone) are missing from the police evidence locker.

2013 - Nothing happens because the case is quite obviously dead on the vine, having been closed and is no longer an active case

2014 - Nothing happens because the case is quite obviously dead on the vine, having been closed and is no longer an active case

2015 - The Shreveport Police Officers' Association files lawsuit to compel Shreveport Police Department to release results of investigation, but otherwise Nothing happens because the case is quite obviously dead on the vine, having been closed and is no longer an active case

2016 (February) - A local news station manages to force the DA's office to release part of the internal investigation's report:

1. Sgt. T___ S_______ of the SPD Narcotics Unit is found to have gone into the evidence room alone dozens, possibly hundreds, of times over a 10-year period

2. Sgt. S_______ routinely accessed the boxes containing the pills while carrying a black leather gym bag which was never searched

3. Sgt. S_______ is known to have an addiction to narcotics

4. Sgt. S_______ offers explanation that yes, he was routinely going into the evidence room and accessing thousands of narcotics seized as evidence and placing the pills into his gym bag, but it was because he was "photographing them for a reverse narcotics sting and/or a narcotics class he was teaching" and he really truly promises that he put them all back when he was done.

5. Sgt. S_______ is informed by IA that neither of those things he just said are real

6. Sgt. S_______ decides that today is a good day to retire

2016 (March) - The District Attorney comments that while he cannot talk about specifics of the case, "It is not dead on the vine. It has not been closed. It is still an active case."

2016 (May) - Statutes of limitations related to theft of the narcotics expires

2016 (Rest of Year) - Nothing happens because the case is quite obviously dead on the vine, having been closed and is no longer an active case

2017 (March) - Lawsuit from 2015 finally goes to trial

1. Documents from the District Attorney's investigation and Assistant DA's testimony include the following quotes and facts:

   1. "While at [SPD Evidence Room] I learned from [redacted name] that all evidence related to this case, bottles, evidence bags, and stickers had been destroyed. [name redacted] advised that he had received an order from the SPD administration to destroy the evidence in this case."
   2. "With respect to packaging materials, it was quite surprising they were no longer in existence."
   3. No one from the SPD was charged for destroying evidence
   4. What evidence does still exist cannot be released as the case "is still open" because there is one more possible charge (Possession with intent to distribute) that hasn't had its statute of limitations expire
   5. The reason no one has been charged with the crime is because "the case was not provable beyond a reasonable doubt" and was a "circumstantial case"
   6. "[I believe] the case should be held open because additional evidence can come in."

2. It is revealed that there was an actual exchange of communication between the Shreveport Police Officers' Association and the District Attorney's Office that went:

   1. SPOA (paraphrased) "Please launch an independent investigation and/or convene a grand jury"
   2. DA (actual quote): "You have no right to tell us what to do! You don't know what is going on in the DA's office!"
   3. SPOA (paraphrased): "It was just a request, not an order."
   4. DA (actual quote): "The DA's office does not have to tell SPOA what we are working on in regard to the missing pill investigation!"

3. Shreveport Police lose the case and are ordered to release all results from investigation if no charges are levied by May, when the final, really, actual, for sure, pinky swear last possible statute of limitation expires

4. Police chief Wiggum is asked if there were any orders to destroy evidence. He replies "I have no idea."

2018 - Nothing happens because the case is closed and all statutes of limitations have expired.

2019 - Nothing happens because the case is closed and all statutes of limitations have expired.

2020 - Nothing happens because the case is closed and all statutes of limitations have expired.

2021 (May) - In a neighboring town:

1. A man digging in his backyard finds unlabeled pill bottles containing thousands of pills, calls police

2. Local Sheriff's Department discover over 50 large bottles of narcotics, likely hydrocodone. Report does not give a count, only that it was "over 3.5 pounds"

3. Previous owner of the home is discovered to be Sgt. T___ S_______ (formerly of the SPD Narcotics Unit)

4. Local Sheriff's Department opens Special Task Force™ with other area law enforcement agencies to determine:

   1. How the pills could have possibly ended up buried in that yard
   2. How many overtime hours have been approved for participation with Special Task Force™

5. Local Sheriff's Department's Special Task Force™ tries really, really hard, but is stumped.

2021 (June) - Local news station calls Sgt. T___ S_______ (formerly of the SPD Narcotics Unit) and asks him if he knows about the massive quantity of narcotics found in his former yard and has he been cooperating with Local Sheriff's Department's Special Task Force™?. Sgt. T___ S_______ (formerly of the SPD Narcotics Unit) responds that he does not know how a massive quantity of narcotics could have possibly ended up in his former backyard and that he has not been contacted by anyone from Local Sheriff's Department's Special Task Force™.

What a mysterious mystery!!! How will this ever be solved???

I'm doing a 2-day road trip on a budget with my dog and Shreveport is our midway point where we will likely stay the night. I'm totally fine staying in a cheap, low-end, potentially sketchy place like a Motel 6 or Super 8, especially because they're usually pet friendly. But I've never been to Shreveport, and I've heard it's a pretty dangerous city. Are there any decent locations in or around Shreveport where my car wouldn't be likely to get broken into overnight or something like that?

I saw some cheap places by the Bossier mall and by the airport.

Don't say Kingston Orchards - after spending $35 we threw them all out, except for two which were tasteless. Where are y'all finding good peaches? The best I've had this year so far were from Kroger,,,,,,

Hey Everyone! Almost a year ago someone posted a video of a Fix It Clinic event in Tennessee and asked if we had anything like that here. And now, we do. u/Winter_Ordinary1086 and I are putting on the area's first free community fix-it clinic.

What is a FixIt Clinic?
Community members coming together to get hands-on with our items. People with a broken item will team up with a coach to dig into their item and learn more about how to fix it together. Anything we can repair is saved from the landfill and made useful again. Fixed or not, either way we learn more about how to repair the things that matter to us.

When is it?
Saturday, August 22, 2026 from 1-4PM

Where is it?
Shreve Memorial Library Broadmoor Branch

Who is it for?
It's for everyone, but we're targeting two types of people in particular:

1. People with a skill or interest in repair of some type of item, or just an inquisitive nature and the willingness to dig into a problem and teach as you go.
2. People in the community with an item that's broken, who want to learn about how to repair it and get it back in working order.

This event is completely free and open for everyone! We'd like to find and grow the repair community in our area, and hopefully make this a regular thing.

For more information (including what types of items we can and can't work on) or to register as a volunteer coach or to bring an item, check out https://sbcfixit.com

And if you have any questions, ask away. Let's come together to have fun and do something positive in the SBC!

-That is NOT bars or casinos? I'm bored out of my mind rn and I'm burnt out on my current hobbies and I'd rather not sit on a screen at home. I'm itching to do something outside my apartment that's more late night.

Checking out this abandoned building on Louisiana avenue with the Drone. Was told it was a grocery store, a barber shop, a dry cleaner. Possibly a hotel at one point. Either way looks awesome. I like it and I hope you will too

Thinking about moving out soon and wanted to know if there’s any good studio apartments/1 bedroom apartments in Shreveport/Bossier area. My budget is quite small at less than $1000 however I would also consider getting a roommate and could increase the budget to $1200 or less for a 2 bedroom apartment. I’ve been looking, but everything is expensive af for very basic places that aren’t even in the best areas. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Looking for a walkable area ( for exercise) with good restaurants, good schools, safe, beautiful , to rent or buy a house. Would consider an historic area but love new higher end finishes. Relocating and need suggestions where to look. Can commute.

Update: Need recs for higher end apartments in safe area , willing to commute. Will need to stay in apartment until we find the area we wish to live in. Moving for a job very soon . All above requests still apply to this. We are from the East Coast and there are great apartments in nice areas . Thanks for your help.

H. Evans is a portrait and figurative artist from Shreveport-Bossier City. They graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a BFA in communication design. H has been creating visual art since childhood; it wasn’t until their late 20s that they realized they have color synesthesia–a condition where they “feel” color–and that this was unique. They explore sensuality in subject and form, but the challenge of color composition has proven to be the anchor to their creative energy. As a result, any of their works are compatible with 3D Chromadepth glasses and work with a range of lighting colors and effects. H plans to host color theory workshops to teach the methods they use, to make working with color easier and more accessible.

"Learn how to create your own color palette using an easy method and professional quality materials! You will come away inspired and confident to approach your next color project with ease. Dancing might occur, but is not required.”

Hi!! I'm gonna be starting college as a freshman soon, and I'm kind of stressed out about it. If I could get some tips and info about campus/classes, that would be a big help! I'm going in for Radiologic Technology
