Oakland Cemetery, the city's first public park as well as burial ground, is undergoing renovation.

Tombstones are being carefully brought back to white stone, which makes them much more legible.

Marty Loschen, chief Lidar info gatherer, is at work in a renovation project sponsored by LSUS. He's finding scores of graves lost to today's records.

Let's go on a history walk in the morn - as early as 9 am - or in the evening - about 7 pm.

Donation, $30 apiece.
Venmo: -Trudeau-1
About 90 mins. All ages.

Picnic!
Begin your tour with libations at Noble Savage!

The secrets of the Municipal Auditorium were on the agenda as Home Schoolers gathered to enjoy a tour of the enormous symbol of the Roaring Twenties in Shreveport.

The trek led to historic Texas Ave, past the Caddo Common Park, and into the Hebrew section of Oakland Cemetery.

Trudeau's attempt to lead the chorus of Sam Cooke's "A change is gonna come" was met with a puzzled silence.

The lack of a historic sign at the site of the Castle Hotel, Sprague St, to note stays by MLK, Jr, and singer-songwriter Cooke was lamented.
