well.. Other than I can't think of one reason why they SHOULD be combined ?
I've lived in Bossier City and Shreveport, and I think they are very two different cities in many ways. Honestly though I can't think of "good" reason not to other than the folks in Bossier City would never go through with such an idea.

I think Bossier City has done well defining itself as it's own City. They chose to build the CenturyTel arena, to host the Mudbugs hockey and other shows they do there. Have done well developing their side of the riverfront.. much better than Shreveport has with their "Red River District" .

And of course Bossier City has BAFB, even though the Network News likes to report this base is in Shreveport :-)

Do you have any reasons why you think the cities SHOULD be combined ??
