This is not what Texas street will look like tomorrow night with the return of Thursday Night Trolley Tours. The fun starts with a cash bar at artspace, 710Texas Street. The Shreveport Times describes the event this way "A guided tour, will showcase what downtown Shreveport has to offer in the way of art, history, culture, movie trivia, and science, on 14 trolley stops..." Your tour guide for the evening will be
Jan Pettiet.
Did we mention this event is
FREE?! (Excluding the cash bar). Sipping something cool and riding around on a trolley -- can't think of a better way to take in the
Southern Museum of Art, West Edge Artists' Co-op, Municipal Auditorium,
Logan Mansion, Strand Theatre, Millennium Mural,
SciPort Discovery Center, Tipitina's,
Spring Street Museum, Hilton Hotel,
Shreveport Convention Center, Sports Museum,
Arodasi Dance Center, Highway Grrls Gallery, Multicultural Center of the South, and
Robinson Film Center.
During the evening at the
Barnwell Center sounds of live "Hot Jazz on the Red" will fill the air as part of their Friends of Barnwell Summer Concert Series.
The Meadows Museum of Art is also slated to participate, but this confuses RRBJ because that place is in Highland and not in downtown... but, oh well...
Thank you to Ryan Austin Dean at jawbone54 for the night capture of Texas Street.
