Tinseltown Shreveport Fails Second Health Inspection

Remember that viral video of a rat scurrying around the Shreveport movie theater? Well, state health officials' concerns, now public thanks to reporting by KTBS, proved those allegations were hard to dispute.

According to KTBS, initial state health reports found "droppings throughout the concession prep area," severe violations that required immediate cleanup and pest control at the Youree Drive cinema.

The Louisiana Department of Health inspection ordered the theater to implement an "enhanced pest management program."

But things have reportedly gotten much worse for avid movie watchers. KTBS has since revealed that Tinseltown USA in Shreveport has failed a second health inspection.

New state health records, obtained by KTBS, paint a grim picture: inspectors found the same dead rodents sitting on the same traps from the previous inspection.

The report also indicated inspectors saw a live rat inside the theater during the second check. Furthermore, inspectors noted sanitary code violations involving missing ceiling tiles and unauthorized expanding foam used to seal holes.

The Louisiana Department of Health has confirmed these "continued violations" in an October 9th letter, which warns of potential fines, legal action, or even closure if the problems are not immediately fixed. As a result, Tinseltown representatives were required to attend an informal conference on Thursday to address the crisis.
