As Louisiana enters phase one of reopening its economy, numerous attractions, casinos, restaurants and retail shops in Shreveport-Bossier are preparing to welcome guests back with a new string of public health and safety restrictions. The Louisiana stay-at-home order was lifted on Friday, May 15, and I've never been so eager to resume a semi-regular life again. I've craved everything from a Friday night happy hour at Abby Singer's Bistro and chocolate covered everything at the Chocolate Crocodile, to a little R & R at the Remington Suite Hotel and Spa and cashing in at Eldorado Resort Casino at any time of the day. If you're ready to step outside and take in some safe, summer fun after weeks of quarantine, here's a list of Shreveport-Bossier reopenings to take advantage of:
