Shreveport: I-20 at Spring Street

Tucked along the Red River in northwestern Louisiana, Shreveport is a place whose character is shaped by the waterway’s long role in trade and settlement. The city developed as a river port and remains a regional centre for the Ark-La-Tex area, where Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas meet. Downtown’s Municipal Auditorium is an Art Deco landmark closely tied to the Louisiana Hayride, the influential radio programme that featured performers including Hank Williams and Elvis Presley. Riverfront entertainment, museums and a live-music tradition give Shreveport an urban identity distinct within Louisiana.
