Mace Windu digs Shreveport-Bossier

[Al Swearengen]

Agree with ya there, Geo...for all of the criticisms I level at this place, it IS home...has been since 72' in my case. And there ARE worse places to live, much worse. For every negative you could list about Northern Louisiana, theres a positive aspect that cancels it out.

Thanks Al. At least that is the way I like to see it! I never said we were perfect, but we are unique and rich with history among other things. I'll take a sweet Louisiana peach over a California peach any day. Our satsuma's are better too. And stawberries. And even our rice. Not to mention our crawfish are better than frozen Chinese species at cheaper prices. All are the best on the planet IMHO. Even Abita beer is better than Bud IMO. Tobasco and Lousiana hot sauce are staples. All this and more for around 3 cents an acre! Our forefathers made a real bargain if you ask me!

Besides New Orleans, because we all know it's worse,....exactly where in our state would you consider worse than Shreveport?

....and while you're at it, what are the positive aspects to cancel out these 2005 crimes stats from Shreveport alone, not Shreveport/Bossier.

Violent Crimes-2249
Murder/non negligent manslaughter-39
Forcible Rape-151
Robbery-628
Aggravated Assault-1431
Property Crime-12878
Burglary-2969
Larceny-Theft-8893
Motor Vehicle theft=1016



Shreveport IS a nice place to visit, but no way in heck I'd choose to live there.

I'm watchin' Mace Windu on David Letterman right now!

All I can think to say is, "What happens in Shreveport stays in Shreveport!"
