Retired Here and love it--Southeast Shreveport is

We retired here 3 yrs. ago. First we retired to San Diego suburb to be with family and it was supposed to be the best weather in entire country, but this is even better since in San Diego cold air from Pacific would come in at 3pm every day usu. making it too cold to sit outside! This is perfect climate, no flurries even this year. Northern Shreveport gets more ice than us in far southeast part. And we have the prettiest part by far. Go out Ellerbe Rd. then Norris Ferry Rd. I-49 is not far off of Norris Ferry Rd. and it takes to to any area north and south. There is an amazingly lot of class here, subscribe to SB Magazine to see (stands for Shreveport/Bossier). Bossier City is what's on the other side of Red River. There's walking trails along river and boat tours, casinos if you like them, and Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville with white sand and palm trees will open this spring or summer! Yes, palm trees do grow here--like San Diego, I'm so glad! Nice homes in 100's and 200's and much fancier at more. Ours is in 200's but I've never seen so much quality wood moulding/fancy cabinets and fireplaces--real quality! Crime is not around this part of town either. Streets are only problem, concrete cracked and slow to repair but they did a bond issue to fix them recently so that should get better.
