The Greatest Fairy Tale Never Told!

The Greatest Fairy Tale Never Told!

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, 'Shrek The Musical,' is a Tony Awardwinning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears. “Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek ….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand … and his name is Shrek.

RISING STARS ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: THE SERATONES

Straight out of Shreveport!!

From the beginning days of punk shows, an early Don’t Forget Your Dinosaur transitioned to AJ Haynes and the Monkey Business. Original member Jesse joined forces with AJ Haynes to create The Seratones! A sleek change of one alphabet, 'c' to 's,' marked the beginning of this edgy rock band who burst onto the Shreveport music scene back in the early 2010s. “I started developing my craft downtown,” recalled the lead vocalist AJ Haynes. Initially the 'hype babe,' AJ came aboard creatively when the group decided to stop doing covers in favor of their own original songs!

Allocating Property Management Funds for Shreveport

Allocating Property Management Funds for Shreveport

When I ran for City Council four years ago, there was this question about the $588 million budget that would fall short of funding the many services the city provides. Some also running for office indicated they wanted to cut back on staff to balance the books. I tended to look at how to increase the revenue stream not only to cover the existing outlays but to increase the quality and quantity of services the city was obligated to provide. Addressing this issue is one of the top priorities, I think, the next mayor should have in his/her first 90 days. The strategy is to put in place a plan/policy that would effectively target the 7,000 vacant lots in the city. It has been estimated that close to a billion dollars is lost because of the vacant and blighted properties. “The Public Affairs Research Council, PAR Guide to the 2014 Constitutional Amendments, notes that in Shreveport ‘officials estimate the city spends $2.2 million a year on maintenance of adjudicated, blighted and abandoned properties. That is money that could be spent on other, more needed city services.’' The quote was taken from the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority Business Plan (2015). The dedicated unit aforementioned is the Property Management Section of the city of Shreveport. Property Management is responsible for monitoring and regulating the city of Shreveport’s interest in real property. At present, PMS is understaffed and would be unable to complete some of those duties that include oversight of the Adjudicated Property Program. This includes properties adjudicated to both Parish/City. Current plan /policy appears to address everything save for a clear title to adjudicated properties. As the next mayor plans out his/her 90- to 100-day task list, there needs to be a comprehensive effort to change the policy to allow developers to build homes that the banks can finance for homeownership, that through the increased revenues, the cost of adding 125 more SPD officers and other city services can be met.
