On Monday, March 13th, Joe Minicozzi of Urban3, gave an hour-long presentation of his company’s assessment of #Shreveport’s land value, our struggling roads and water infrastructure, and the ability of our local tax system to pay for repairs. The whole thing can be a bit nerdy, but Shreveport’s future will depend on our ability to understand and willingness to act on this new information. Read on… link in bio!

Another business is open in downtown Shreveport!

@drippdonuts, located at the corner of Texas St and Market St, makes a fine choice for downtown’s 14,000 workers and residents and serves as compliment to Rhino Coffee’s downtown location.

Yes, nearly 8% of Shreveport’s population spends much of their day downtown, so there’s plenty room for more local businesses, more company offices, and more residents!

Dripp is serving up delicious filled donuts, classic glazed, kolaches and drip coffee with a full line of coffees coming soon. Plus a birdie tells us that, next Wednesday, February 1st, @dripphotchicken food truck will be testing a lunch menu, serving up spicy bird dishes from 11:00a.m.-2:00p.m.

Dripp is currently in soft open mode, so the word isn’t quite out yet that they’re open, but a steady stream of people walking in or jumping out of their cars to quickly order a box of creative creations is evidence that this is just the beginning of a beautiful new addition to our city’s oldest neighborhood.

The Texas Street Bridge is lit in solidarity with the people of Ukraine who are fighting for their lives against Vladimir Putin’s aggression half a world away.

A small gesture, to be sure, but awareness and solidarity are key to keeping up pressure on world leaders to act quickly and decisively to bring about an end to the war.
