It's hard to be proud of something when it's dirty or covered in trash and the City of Shreveport is ready to take its trash and blight issue seriously.
Louisiana has been referred to as the dumping ground for the country, and that statement is accurate when it comes to litter in our waterways. A new effort to address litter and clean up our lakes, rivers, and roadways may help eliminate the problem.
Blight isn't just an eyesore, it's horrible for our communities and our state. That's why 'Love the Boot' week is so important to Shreveport and Louisiana as a whole.
