Shreveport and its Red River sister city of Bossier have always been well-known for three things: racetracks, casinos and sporting events. But there’s much more to this section of Northern Louisiana than just cheering fans and slot machines. With the completion of The Outlets at Louisiana Boardwalk in May 2005, Shreveport-Bossier has become a mecca for brand-name value shoppers.
