Shreveport, LA
Love it....and have grown to appreciate it -
7/14/2013I moved to Shreveport about 10 years ago. When I first arrived, I hated it. It seemed so backwards on all levels. From cuisine, culture, shopping, and just everyday life. I moved from the big city and thought there was no way I would survive. After one year, I realized the growth opportunities Shreveport had to offer. With Shreveport being so behind times, anyone who is looking to do a start up business, this is the place for you! The growth potential is off the chart. Even though the community might give off the impression there isn't a great deal of wealth, let me tell you people here have money. They haven't had the opportunity to spend it. There are a lot of families here with parents who want the best for their children. Since moving here, I have witnessed big changes. The movie industry films here on a regular basis. The only drawback is the hot, humid summers. Other than that, it really is a great place to live if you are either young looking to make money or, retired and want to spend money. The area will continue to grow so the opportunities are here.
