I am sure by now that you have noticed that I am doing my travel, “Tour Across America” of the
states in an alphabetical order. I am enjoying this experience however if I was
really to travel around American I
would do it by starting with one state and traveling to a nearby state. Even
when you travel to a region of America you will notice how different
each state or cities culture can be. When you need to plan a trip contact me!
Shreveport
Shreveport was founded in 1836 by the Shreve Town Company, a corporation established to develop a town at the juncture of the newly navigable Red River and the Texas Trail, an overland route into the newly independent Republic of Texas and, prior to that time, into Mexico. Shreveport is the commercial and cultural center of the Ark-La-Tex, the area where Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas meet. Many people in the community refer to the city of Shreveport as "The Port City" in 2013.
Bowling for the whole
family.
