Lee ....

I live in Paris, Tx ... about a hundred and fifty miles from Shreveport ....

The base is, like too many of our military facilities, old.
However, it is well maintained and functions nicely.

As to the home situation, my only experience is strictly visual observation.
Now, I have been to a lotsa Catholic churches in both Bossier and Shreveport. My favorite is one hidden in the woods, just inside the loop and Airline drive. The neighborhood out there is really nice.
The closest I could come to a recco for housing would be Noth of I-20 and East of Hwy 1..... the immediate area around the base is indeed somewhat seedy.

I do have several good friends who live in the Shreveport area and I'll ask them for some ideas.... I am also favorably impressed with the older houses around Cross Lake.
As Bob said, the folks there are really friendly, and I'd not be fearful of moving.

The casino boats on Big Red are a major draw for tourists, (I've never made a single bet at/on the boats) making the motel prices a tad bit high *(for me).
For a couple of dozen years I had a trailer house out on Caddo Lake, vicinity of Oil City ... used it for a stopover for going to the track, fishing, and duck hunting ...... the duck hunting is GREAT in that area.....

There are a lot of very nice small towns/hamlets around the metro area, especially north and east *(same general area as I mentioned above) and I feel sure there are similar spots all around there of which I have NO knowledge.

If there is any way I can help you, let me know .....
