Shae and I planned a trip to Shreveport for the holiday weekend. I tried booking at the Hilton where we stayed a while back, but they were full. I was able to find what looked like a pretty good deal at the Wingate by Wyndham. $70ish a night, very close to the Horseshoe, right across the street from the True Holiness Tabernacle of Prayer, and ( Read more... )
