Down on the banks of the Red River, right across from its sister city Shreveport, lies Bossier City, Louisiana. Together, they form one of the largest metropolitan areas in Louisiana, with plenty of culture and fun for residents.

If you're new to the town, check out one of the many group tours, which include wine tastings at the Cellar Fine Wines and Spirits, art viewings at Norsworthy Gallery, and a walk in the footsteps of Elvis Presley (he made his debut performance in Bossier City, in case you didn't know that already). Afterward, head downtown and enjoy live music on the riverfront or go out and enjoy the amazing local cuisine—we recommend 2 Johns (where you can get steak au poivre and gulf snapper if you like) or Jimmy's Seafood and Steak. Yep, we're talking to you Parrotheads who just can't get enough of Jimmy Buffet—you've got to try the lump crab martini (it's five o'clock somewhere, right?).

Love to shop? Get in some retail therapy along the river, courtesy of the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets—the largest outdoor shopping area in the state. Kids and adults alike can enjoy the Shreveport Aquarium and Tammany Trace bike trail, while casinos like the one at Margaritaville provide more grown-up fun. And it's all steeped in the rich history and culture of Louisiana.

Whether you're single or married, running a business or a family, there's a lot to love about Bossier City. And with the help of ADT, you'll know professionals are helping protect your home while you're enjoying yourself.
