These 7 shopping centers started Louisiana's suburban mall era. In 2026 only some of them are still enclosed malls.

Ground was broken for Shreve City Shopping Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, in November 1958, and the center held its first opening in June 1959. It was suburban shopping of the postwar kind: a large cluster of stores on Shreveport-Barksdale Highway, laid out for people who arrived by car. Shreve City kept building after it opened.

GE Vernova plans Shreveport expansion with state incentives

(The Center Square) – GE Vernova will receive a $300,000 performance-based grant from the state as part of its $34.5 million plan to expand its Shreveport transformer plant and add 175 jobs, the company announced Tuesday. Louisiana Economic Development confirmed it offered the incentive, saying that the company is also expected to participate in the state’s Quality Jobs and Industrial Tax Exemption programs. The grant represents only part of the potential taxpayer cost of supporting the expansion. Neither the organization, referred to as LED, nor the company disclosed the estimated value of the anticipated incentives in their announcements. The releases also did not specify wages for the new jobs or the hiring and investment requirements attached to the grant. The Center Square was unable to independently verify the total public cost on Tuesday. No response has been received from GE Vernova to questions about wages, incentive values, and performance requirements. LED said the project would retain 637 existing positions. “Electricity demand is growing, and transformers are part of the critical grid equipment essential to delivering the power our customers and modern economies depend on,” said Philippe Piron, CEO of GE Vernova’s Electrification segment. According to LED, the expansion at 7000

The Power of Independent Pharmacy

Independent pharmacies aren’t usually the headline story. They are there quietly running in the background, keeping their communities going. They're the pharmacist who stays late to fill a script, the tech who knows the backstory of everyone in town, the delivery driver who remembers the dog’s favorite treat.

Vegans on the Run finds home on Texas Avenue

On World Vegan Day, Joslin Mar-Dai was dressed in all green. It matched the green entrance of her new brick-and-mortar home for her business, Vegans on the Run. Not yet open, but getting close. A ribbon cutting was scheduled because it was a big milestone for an important date. “Today is more than a ribbon cutting,” Mar-Dai said to the crowd outside the shop. “Today is six years of Vegans on the Run, and today we're standing in front of a building with our name on it.” Cheers erupted, and Mar-Dai gave out a screech of happiness. Mar-Dai took a moment to reflect back on the journey she began with her daughter and mother, “We sold vegan food wherever to whoever would give us an opportunity to.” The shop will be next to Sipp House, owned by Shika Sims. Together they offer life to the 1800 block of Texas Avenue. “She represents her committee quite well; what an ambassador,” said Karen Barnes from Visit Shreveport-Bossier of Mar-Dai. “I'm excited about the opportunities that she could share and educate our community about vegan.” “You have championed vegan food in this community,” said Councilwoman Tabitha Taylor. “And guess what, people really like
