Shreveport Reviews
Rating 3.35 out of 5 551 reviews
Overall, my experience with Shreveport has been great. I have lived here since I was two, and I personally have had no problems here. I have received excellent education at three nationally recognized Magnet schools, and I plan to attend graduate school in Shreveport. Even though I currently attend college in another city, Shreveport will always be my home. I always look forward to coming back on the weekends. Also, there are many fun activities to do here. The aquarium is very nice, the movie theater is excellent, and there are many different storefronts to visit. I enjoy bringing my friends that are from smaller towns to Shreveport because they enjoy everything so much! And the southern hospitality of storeowners in Shreveport is unmatched. Despite all of these wonderful assets, one thing I would like to see changed are the roads. Some are a bit rough and should be fixed if possible, but overall Shreveport is a nice city to live in.
Shreveport is a cesspool of crime with a beautiful historic downtown. Despite Louisiana's #1 public school being located here, educational opportunities are slim. Shreveport is a hidden gem that's rough around all of it's edges. There are some fine dining experiences scattered throughout town, a few bars, and a buzzing gambling/casino scene. Shreveport's unique blend of cajun culture and the concentration of Tony Chachere's seasoning in each meal seem to keep residents happy. Come visit us!
The city has it's appeal you just have to know where to find it. Most know the 318, or Shreveport as 'Ratchet City', which in all fairness is an accurate description that encaptures the view from outside perspectives. Lately I have been branching out in lieu of still living life after entering Mothoerhood. There is a very lively downtown that hosts an extensive array of options to choose from, Farmer's Markets to Casino's, Pop-up Ramen in a Hipster Bar, and and a wide array of restaurants. You will never be without an opportunity to drink , and we have a fun little twist on getting yourself drunk called a Daiquiri, which you can typically order while on the road in a drive-thru! Oh, and if you've never heard Boosie you will here.
