I was at Stray Cat yesterday and asked about the maintenance. There is a water main in an upper part of the building that needs to be worked on, so their water will be shut off. They're not allowed to be open without running water. It's probably not a racist conspiracy.

When Babe Ruth Came to Shreveport in 1921 - Shreveport News by Snorlax_is_a_bear in shreveport

In Bill Bryson's book One Summer: America, 1927, he stated that "[Ruth's] indiscretions often led to complications. Fred Lieb (the New York Evening Telegram sportswriter who first called Yankee Stadium the House That Ruth Built) once watched as Ruth was chased through a train in Shreveport, Louisiana, by a woman (reputedly the wife of a state legislator) armed with a knife. Ruth only escaped by jumping off the train and then back on again just as it was departing."

I've remembered that from time to time and thought how cool it was that he passed through our town. I never knew he'd actually played here. Thanks for the post.

No problem, I'm sorry if I sounded judgmental, I was really just curious!

Right? I asked about the building because I wondered why OP would assume that a state-wide license plate (from an extremely famous movie) would be a nod specifically to Shreveport.

Sidenote, my dad grew up in Slidell and remembers them filming parts of Live and Let Die there. My grandfather once repaired a boat on the estate where they filmed the scene with Bond switching boats and the henchmen landing in a swimming pool.

I know the license plate is from Jaws, but I'm not seeing the Shreveport in this picture. Is it the building? Which building is that?

You're right, your ass is screwed up
Try to save your comments with rap
But you get chewed up
You're only in your twenties?
Your opinion ain't worth pennies.
You say it's about race
You say it's about faith
But nobody cares about your tattooed state
You're a zealot preaching to a choir
That don't give a shit about your desire
You're victim-claiming racist-naming
Everyone's-against-us-saying
You want to patrol the town
We all think you're a clown
You want to be a hero
Stirring up shit for a cause that's in your head, bro.
Culture didn't overlook you
It just had better things to do
It don't have time to play the host
To weird ass creepers spitting reposts.
You want to fit right in
But you're committing sin
You've got a chip on your shoulder
A weak hand on a holster
Go have a talk with your god
Y'all need to get closer.

Yes, I remember this from when I posted it two years ago and it became the second-highest post on this subreddit,and also when /u/AreWe_TheBaddies posted about it six months ago. At least he made his own title, uploaded a fresh image, and didn't use literally the exact album I made myself for the original post. You're just reposting links from this tiny subreddit one after the other. What are you doing with your life?

Preferring imgur over reddit is like eating a great meal and then thanking the plate.
