I'm a North Shreveport/Blanchard guy, but after twenty-five years in the Bossier/Haughton area, I feel I've at least earned some kind of honorary distinction.

Sure, Bossier gets a bad rap for a number of things. The traffic situation with I-20 right now would appear even worse than the road was before the reconstruction began.

We're always hearing "there's nothing to do" but that's just not true.

We don't have a professional sports team.

Yes, being part of Louisiana, we have our share of crooked politicians, but day in and day out, the people of Bossier are hard working, honest, giving, loving and dedicated to the southern way of life.

With that in mind, I've decided that we have a number of unwritten rules that you just have to commit to memory if you're new to the area.

Take a look and see if you agree that this is The Complete 10 Commandments of Living Here in Bossier City.
