That violence is one of the main reasons we left Memphis, but we decided not to wait until retiring. Some of the cities are seemingly hopeless.I will say this in general about Shreveport. It has become a cesspool of violent crime over the last 10-15 years. Before this incident, my wife and I had already made the decision that once we retire. We are moving not only out of Shreveport, but the state of Louisiana altogether.
