Celebrating the ArkLaTex: Transporting back in time at the Spring Street Historical Museum
SHREVEPORT, La. - The heart of northwest Louisiana lies in Shreveport, according to the website for the Spring Street Museum curated by Louisiana State University Shreveport. "Shreveport is where it all began," the website continues. "Where oil and water did blend, where cotton began its long dusty journey up to the Texas Trail, where mayors fought duels in the middle of the street. We tell the story of our remarkable and sometimes rowdy history through photos and discovered treasures."

“The Only Elvis Presley Pool in the Universe”
Camp Forbing Town Center, a sprawling, nicer-than-average shopping center that opened in southeast Shreveport in 2016, is not a place where one expects to encounter rock ‘n’ roll history. It certainly doesn’t feel like a place that played a part in launching the career of Elvis Presley. That kind of lore belongs to roadside juke joints and downtown diners, places that wear the patina of time as comfortably as Presley wore a Lansky Brothers suit—not those marked by unattractive landscaping and windows loudly announcing seasonal drink menus. But the fact is, the history is there. It’s beneath a layer of asphalt, but it’s there.
