SHREVEPORT, LA (By: Tom Pace, Executive Editor, Talk of the Town) COMMUNITY NEWS: 11pm 8-12-08 Mayor Cedric Glover is making a first-of-its-kind effort to get “Shreveport N Sync” with local musicians, Wednesday August 13, 2008 from 6pm to 8pm at the City’s Barnwell Memorial Garden Center. It's a Town Hall Meeting called by the Mayor that targets local musicians' input for the city's entertainment future growth.

Glover says: “As we begin to grow Shreveport with a new, dynamic and specialized approach to economic development, I want to hear the ideas, suggestions, concerns and vision of those whose careers, business or interest is in the area of music and entertainment.”

“This open dialogue will begin a conversation that’s needed in our City and we all will benefit,” said Glover. The Q and A session will end with a Jam Session. Those who would like to bring instruments are welcome to take part.
