King's Highway holds fabulous potential to become a complete specialty shopper's alley for people nipping off I-49 for a peek at soulful Shreveport.
Of course, it's partway there. It begins with the deluxe landscaping used by Raisin Caine's store at King's Hwy. Even the shrubbery at the McDonald's seems laudable. The upgraded landscaping and signage at Byrd High School plays an important part. Columbia Cafe is certainly a significant node on the ride.
When you cross Creswell, you are soothed by the considerable efforts of Centenary College. And there, clustered around the super house center called Centenary Hardware, are the target boutiques. I'm not thinking of the antique shops, which are important mainstays, but Counter Culture and the clothes shop called Heart and Soul. Both seem to have done well and offer models for the future.
With that in mind, here's what seems to be a good idea:
Coming soon, says a press release that originated from janeryderdesigns.com: "The Designer's Consortium, a new way to shop. A new way to sell. Direct from the designer to you."
"We are now interviewing fashion, interior, jewelry and accessory designers and artists to sell their original designs in our new boutique
at 208 E. King's Highway in Shreveport, across from Counter Culture," says Ms Ryder.
Please call (318) 688-1299 or
(318) 218-6593
Being across from Counter Culture does not seem a bad idea at all. Bon chance to all.

Heart and Soul is cool, but my favorites shops are the bookstores in that area. There's a character and surprise there that's missing from Books-A-Zillions. A great place for bibliophiles.
Thanks for reminding me of the book shops, CS.
I might also mention White Leopard Kung Fu center, run by Sheila and Glen Guerin and their neat-o kids. It is a first-rate boutique education center.
