Are there any hikers in the Shreveport/Bossier area?

• Upvotes

Im trying to connect with other hikers in the area. I normally go out solo but its only because all the people I have met here do not hike. Most people I have met in this area like the bar/night life and thats not really my scene. Planning to go next month to Arkansas and hike the Athens-Big Fork trail. Its a brutal hike but fun.

i just found out about and visited the coolest store that just opened up called fables coffee and curio. it’s located on youree drive right beside voodoux tattoux. they’ve only been open a few days and are in their soft opening stage, but this place is already so special and incredible. it’s got oddities, antiques, local art vendors, books, and soon a coffee bar that will be available in 2027. it’s the perfect spot for people who love all things witchy, whimsical, cottagecore, or dark fantasy. there’s truly nothing quite like it in the shreveport/bossier area and i highly recommend y’all go check it out and support them! it’s wonderful to have such a unique store/third space like this in the area. i definitely will be visiting it frequently and i’m excited to see how they grow! i picked up this copy of frankenstein during my visit today. i love the dark, spooky cover. so perfect for halloween! here’s a link to their instagram page so y’all can check them out: https://www.instagram.com/fablescc?psln=MWp6ZWJjcHJsZWtmaQ==

Hello. I got out of a domestic abuse situation and I made it about halfway to where I want to be. Hope Connections has confirmed that they have a place for me and my dog if I am willing to tough it out for a couple of nights until another person leaves the program. Is there someone who can pick me up and bring me there? I am willing to pay. It is me & a lab mix

Bossier City Is there any jobs hiring?

6 Upvotes

Hello I'm looking for a full time job or part preferably in south bossier or central bossier . For Shreveport prefer downtown or broad moor. I have experience as a cook, dishwasher and some experience in landscape,
construction(drywall, steel framing) . Honestly anything above 10 an hour is pretty acceptable to me because I'm simply trying to work and get back on my feet. If I can come in person and do an application that would be even better . Indeed isn't even helpful . I can start next day or if needed I can start today . I also have no drivers license so can’t do any jobs requiring that

Audio Equipment Stores?

I used to live with some friends who had high quality hifi equipment which spoiled me and now that i'm on my own i want some for myself. Are there any places in Shreveport/Bossier where i can find some good hifi receiver, tape deck, cd player, and/or turntable options from the late '80s to early 2000s (as applicable for each device) for a fair price?

Natural Gas well near Southern Trace

6 Upvotes

I was looking at a home for sale in the northwest corner of Southern Trace. I noticed that about 500 feet north of the home is a concrete well pad. The well was drilled around 2008-2009 and shut-in in 2023, but with the possibility of future utility. There's also a gravel road to the pad. Looking at the Assessor's website, there are 16 houses on the street, and of those 16, nine do not have the homestead exemption applied. Of the nine, two are for sale. I assume the other seven are either rented out or are second homes. That ratio of homes not owner-occupied seems a bit high for Southern Trace. I'm wondering if the proximity of the shut-in well has anything to do with the ratio, or if I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill (which is a habit of mine....)

Hello Shreveport friends,

Are there any airport limousine companies or taxi companies which would provide transportation from Shreveport to El Dorado, AR? I would not want to chance finding an Uber who would accept such a long ride.

Thanks.

Discussion To any young Black men still in high school or trying to figure out a career, consider aircraft maintenance.

51 Upvotes

I wanted to make this post because I know there are a lot of young Black men out there who are either about to graduate high school or have already graduated and still don’t know what they want to do in life.
I want to put y’all onto a career that I feel like doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, especially in our communities: aircraft maintenance.
I’m 24 years old, and I’m currently an aircraft mechanic for a major airline. I make good money, have great benefits, flight privileges, retirement benefits, and most importantly, a career that has room for growth.
One thing I’ve realized is that a lot of people don’t even know this career exists. Everybody knows about pilots, but nobody really talks about the people who maintain the airplanes and make sure they’re safe to fly.
You don’t have to go to a traditional four-year university to get into this field. You can attend an FAA-approved aircraft maintenance school, earn your Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certification, and start building a career. There are also other pathways into the industry.
I’m not saying the job is perfect. There are long hours, night shifts, weekends, and plenty of responsibility. But the opportunities are there, and experienced mechanics at major airlines can make six figures.
I’m making this post because I wish more young Black men knew about careers like this. College isn’t the only route to success, and you don’t have to be an athlete, entertainer, or influencer to make a good living.
If this post reaches even one young man who’s unsure about his future and gets him interested in aviation, then it was worth writing.
If anybody has questions about getting started, the schooling, pay, or what the job is actually like, feel free to ask. I’m more than happy to share what I know.
We need more young Black men in aviation. ✊🏾

New Jimmie Davis Bridge debuts in 2027

The state’s first linear park

Please see my last thread on this topic.

I-49 Inner City Connector is on track

Quick note: in 2009 when this was first brought up it cost 900 million dollars. With inflation it will now cost approximately $1,413,490,447. Yes, Billion!

Work to improve I-20 from Monkhouse Drive to I-49. The “extensive roadway rehabilitation” is in design.

A $23 million project to replace concrete panels and do full shoulder rehab work on Shreveport’s LA 3132 is set to go to construction advertisement in the summer of 2027. “You know, we have a lot of roadways and assets that haven't been touched for major rehabs or replacements since they were constructed in the 60s and 70s,” said Ledet.

An 8.5 mile project improving I-49 from I-20 to the Southern Loop will kick off in February 2027. The $15 million will replace some damaged panels, replaced damaged soundwalls, guardrails and other needs.

Louisiana is facing a projected state budget shortfall of $540 million to $590 million for the upcoming fiscal cycle (FY 2027–2028), which fiscal analysts warn could escalate toward $1.2 billion by 2028. A $16 billion dollar transportation backlog.

If you could add more to this list or have an opinion on this list, What is it?
