This Temple has been apart of Shreveport for a long time. A very impressive building. It's closed now. It would be great to see it open. TFTC

This is the historic "Strands". It has been a landmark for Shreveport since the 20's. There are many operas preformed here every year along with other shows. 

This is one of many Painted ladies around Shreveport. This one is the sweetest of them in our opinion. It's now a lawyers office in the old part of town. TFTC

The U.S.S. KIDD DD-661

Representative of the Fletcher class destroyers that formed the backbone of U.S. destroyer forces in World War II, USS Kidd is named for Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who was killed aboard his flagship, USS Arizona, when the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Kidd saw heavy action in World War II, participating in nearly every important naval campaign in the Pacific, winning eight battle stars. Kidd and her crew fought gallantly during the invasion of the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, the Philippines at Leyte Gulf, and off Okinawa, where she survived a kamikaze attack. In 1951, the destroyer was deployed to Korean waters, where it won another four battle stars for service.

Decommissioned in 1964, Kidd entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet and was berthed at Philadelphia until 1982, when ownership was transferred to the Louisiana Naval War Memorial Commission. Never modernized, Kidd is the only destroyer to retain its World War II appearance.

She is now on public view as a museum vessel in Baton Rouge.
