I take my children and family to the LA boardwalk all the time and feel very safe. We have a great time. I don't even consider taking my family to the River District. There is nothing there to take them to. The "Bad element" chased away all the stores and hope for investment. Now Eldorado bought it I heard.
The only hope for the River District has been dead for decades ever since the banned bar hopping with a drink in your hand (like New Orleans). Years ago we used to go into Humprey's, and Sports page, and Steamboat Annies and on and on. "The square" was kicking! Downtown Shreveport has a lot of nice french architecture and would have made a great mini-french quarter with local music and culture.
Instead of building better law enforcement way back then, they just changed the law to kill the whole area economically and culturally. But I guess they did solve their problem of needing to hire extra police.
