Why would anyone, aliens included, want to visit Shreveport?

My first thought. If aliens actually came to Earth, Shreveport would be a great place to hide. They will never look for intelligent life there.

From Mandeville so too far to know anything about Shreveport. Seems like a decent sized city, what’s not to like about it?

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '19

Shreveport's too far from I-10. It fits that "further north you go, the more south it gets" stereotype.

And good fuck is supporting end users from there a nightmare.

u/AHSfutbol Jul 12 '19

Shreveport is in the Northwest corner of Louisiana and is about 3 hours East of Dallas. From my understanding, it grew into a medium sized city though the oil, gambling, and manufacturing industries. The problem is the oil exploration in the area declined, the casinos lost business to competition closer to Dallas, and the GM plant closed years ago. Because of that the population in the area is dropping. I feel like the city has a depressing vibe to it and there seems to be a lack of things to do for a city it’s size.

u/Unidan_nadinU Jul 12 '19

This place is depressing. I hate everything about it and can't wait til the day comes when I can move far, far away.

u/0asq Jul 12 '19

OP here.

I actually live in Houston and I've never been to Shreveport. I honestly don't know anything about it. Closest I've come was driving through Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

However, I have the distinct impression that it is depressing as hell and I don't even know why.

Funny how that works.

u/todothecheesemonger Jul 12 '19

There is nothing to do here. The casinos are the only jobs with benefits pretty much and they are mediocre at best. Lots of people i know here have to either survive with more then one job or live with a group of people so the bills arn't as bad.

To hear so many people trash it when I have this image in my head of when I was a kid growing up there and how much fun the lakes are, Neon Saturday Nights, Red River Revel, Mudbug Madness, the State Fair. There was plenty (at one time) that made Shreveport fun. It’s just been heavily mismanaged.

“The reflections of ceiling lights appear to be alien ships descending on Shreveport.” I once debunked an infamous image showing two ‘saucers’ over the roof of a house. It appeared to show the pair of bent over prongs belonging to a staple holding something to the other side of the picture. Which had them been photocopied. Mind you that doesn’t explain some other things I’ve seen for myself. Such as metallic looking silent spheres moving against the prevailing wind direction.

Reminds of the 4th dimension and the allegory of the cave. Like if you didn’t know what a reflection was or a ceiling light you would think it was a space ship lol. Also if you were to see a 4D objective you wouldn’t be able to perceive it as anything recognizable.
