The first thing that comes to mind for me is the Strand. It doesn't matter what the production is, I am in awe everytime I enter the building. We even watched a movie there a few years ago.

The second would be Grand Bayou in Coushatta. I went Thurday.

We also go to Blueberry Hill in Bellevue every year to pick blackberries and blueberries.

1) Not sure if Bewley's furniture (a Tyler, TX company I think) is still in business, but growing up visiting grandparents I would regularly hear the tagline, "Thaaaat's Bewleys." People came from the metropolis (no irony) of Shreveport to shop at Bewleys.

2) ArkLaTex other favorite memory was the TV tagline (male voice), "KSLA Shreeeeeeveport." Wondered why the heck east Texas received S'port and not Dallas, but then it gave me a connection point to S'port & DeSoto Parish relatives.
