Bossier City
Bossier City is Shreveport's mirror across the Red River, and the mirror has been busier lately. The casinos light up Louisiana Boulevard, Barksdale Air Force Base anchors a steady current of relocations, and the East Bank District has done the hard work of turning a forgotten strip into a walkable evening. Dating here means deciding early whether your night involves a riverboat, a brewery, or a Texas Street crawl back into Shreveport. The dating pool skews younger and more transient than the parish average, courtesy of Barksdale. Expect first dates that start with crawfish and end, improbably often, at a blackjack table.
