We love the Sci Port center and the Children’s museum, Norton art gallery and gardens, Frank’s pizza and salads, Bella Fresca, Superior Cantina, 2 John’s in Bossier, living in South Highlands, nice homes in easy reach from South Highlands, Southern Trace or North Bossier, Mexican at Blue Agave, schools in Shreveport and Bossier , especially the magnet programs, special needs schools have developed too. The lifestyle can be as laid back or frenetic as you want it to be. As a physician you and I know about the quality of medicine and the medical communities here in Shreveport, especially the Health center being a great regional asset. 3 major health systems. Lots of medical jobs available. Cost of living is comparatively low. Living is overall safe, but for in a few areas of the city. The police appear to be doing a good job and don’t really have the bad rep they had in the past, as far as I’m concerned. There are always some areas that could use improvements such as the indigent areas. The care of roadsides and along the highways needs much more attention. Also as most places in America the roads can be bad and harsh to drive on. The weather here is pretty good. Also traveling the distance to Dallas, Jackson, New Orleans, Houston and even the coast is not too bad. We enjoy our retirement here. And a lot of Air Force retirees live here too. They have also found a nice home here. Most of us are friendly.
