Could This Abandoned Store Be Shreveport’s New Police Station?
The rumors have been floating around the city - both in the halls of power and on the street - for maybe a year or more. Everybody knows that Shreveport needs a new police station. The current building has fallen further and further into a state of disrepair and the situation, from water pipes breaking to building mold, has grown progressively worse.
