SperlingViews - Bossier_City, Louisiana

We moved here from Upstate NY last year. We really like the subdivision we are in - Golf Course, pool, etc. But, there really isn't a lot to do with kids here in the Shreveport area (no zoo, no children's museum, etc.) and the worst part for me is the lack of shopping. Everyone says that they drive to Dallas to shop - but that is 3 1/2 hours away! My kids won't take that drive to go to Macy's! They have a couple small malls and then some strip malls. At least the taxes are low (compared to NY state) and the price of housing is low, too. Also, the people have been friendly as well. And, my daughter's school is FABULOUS (W.T. Lewis Elementary) - a new school with wonderful technology, discipline, and great teachers![read more...]
