Where is shreveport texas

If I'm wrong, it certainly can't be more than past its' second. Both are within walking distance, and they bookend a shopping district called The Outlets at Louisiana Boardwalk which has as it's largest retailer the Bass Pro Shops, and many other smaller boutique shops.

The Outlets at the Louisiana Boardwalk also has a Courtyard Marriott directly attached for those who'd like to have a place to lodge only for the purpose of shopping. There are several restaurants located in the boardwalk, as well as a large movie theater complex called the Regal Louisiana Boardwalk. If you're trying to find a quick and easy way to get in and park, the best option is to go to the Margaritaville side of the Texas Street Bridge to first find parking.

If that area is full, there's also a parking structure over by the movie theater side of the bridge. Everything there is within a short strolling distance, and if you're trying to find a place to go to relax, stroll, and kill time, the Bossier side of the Texas Street Bridge has a better-arranged setup. They are to one side of the Texas Street Bridge, with the El Dorado immediately next to the bridge, so it's not anything like a long walk.

In fact, the footprint area where the Texas Street Bridge lands on Shreveport soil also has something called the Red River District, which has a couple of restaurants, a bar called Fatty Arbuckle's Pub and several nightclubs, all within mere minutes of walking distance.

For the adventurous there's even a Larry Flynt's Hustler's Club. Sam's Town and the El Dorado both seem a little dated with their architectural design, but I've stayed at Sam's Town before, and was quite happy with my accomodations and service. Now here's the great thing about the Texas Street Bridge: everything on either side is within walking distance for those of you energetic enough to enjoy a walk over the bridge.

If you don't care to, a drive is only a few minutes, and there's plenty of free parking all around. For the truckers, if you want to call either Margaritaville or Sam's Town to see about parking in one of their areas, you probably can. I've seen eighteen wheelers parked on the Shreveport side in the dirt lot at the corner of Clyde Fant Parkway and Caddo Street. That puts you right next to Sam's Town. On the Bossier side I've seen big rigs parked in the dirt lot it was then, months ago beyond the Margaritaville property north of West Colquitt Avenue.

I would very much stress calling to confirm with Margaritaville for big rig parking, because they've put in driveway circles to help moderate traffic, and I don't know if they have an alternative for big rigs still. Now I've stayed in that area and gone to restaurants, the theater which offer first-run features in some 14 screens , and gone shopping in the stores. Its great to just drop in if you have a free afternoon, or if you wish to stay a few days.

So I think that just naming the Texas Street Bridge an attraction by itself is misleading for the general public. It's whats around nearby that makes it entertaining and recreational. Oh, last mention too: The boardwalk has a Hooter's restaurant. Incidentally, I'll see if I can't get some pictures to share with you, the next time I go there and spend some time.

I'm talking about the bridge and its' footprint areas! And for those of you frugal cheap types, you don't even have to spend any money at all.

Park somewhere and walk around spending time people-watching. I've done that before too with friends. For this review, I did not check wheelchair accessible, because I don't think the bridge itself would be wheelchair friendly, but everything else around it is. I also did not enter a website address because you can Google Louisiana Boardwalk and get that link, as well as any of the names of the businesses I've mentioned.

I also did not check lockers or storage available, but for that matter if you get lodging, why would you need that? It used to be nice years ago when all of the lights worked. Now most of the lights are out and the lazy city officials don't seem to want to have them replaced. It looks trashy and cheap. Nothing impressive at all. I hope they see this and do something about it. When all of the neon lights are actually working, which has not been for years, the bridge is still not much to see.

Would definitely not go out of my way to see this. I cannot believe that it is even mentioned on Trip Advisor. Jaclyn G Houston, TX 66 contributions. We lived in Shreveport for a while, and have traveled across this bridge several times.
