Come Tour Shreveport - Bossier!
 Springtime
in Shreveport BossierOne thing is for sure, there is always
something going on in our area! Its tremendous growth has merged our Old
South elegance with gleaming glass high-rise buildings and nestled them among
the natural splendor of our "Sportsman's Paradise." You can enjoy one of the
many festivals that keep us busy, along with a range of cuisines, sports,
shopping, history, arts and entertainment!
 Good food,
good music, good times!Our history is vast with Civil War
reenactments at Mansfield State Historic Site and Pleasant Hill, or you can
trace the First and Second Campaigns of the Red River up Bayou Boeuf , or to
Natchitoches (the film "Steel Magnolias" was made there). But wherever you go,
you'll hear the tales of Captain Henry Miller Shrever, who cleared a 180 mile
log jam, opening the Red River to the future site of Shreveport. You will also
hear about that infamous pair, Bonnie and Clyde, who had their last and fateful
encounter with the law near Arcadia.
Enjoy the Arts?
Our beautifully
restored Strand Theater is one of the country's finest, showcasing our Broadway
Series and so much more. Or you can choose your favorite ticket from our own
Shreveport symphony, ballet or opera.

Time to Move >Smooth Moves
There are many details to handle when you move out of one house and into another. Since it is easy to forget things in the rush of moving, making a written checklist of everything that needs to be done is an invaluable aid.
Be sure to include such tasks as providing the post office, your bank, credit card companies, and publications to which you subscribe with your new address. Let your insurance agent know about the move to ensure that your personal property will be covered at both houses. Call the utility companies ahead of time to arrange for the cut-off and turn-on dates for gas, electricity, water and telephone service. Put important documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, tax returns and home ownership documents together in a safe place as you pack, so that you can locate them easily.
It will give you a great deal of satisfaction to check off each item on your list as it is handled.
