College or Hardware? Centenary's the place


Centenary College in Shreveport can trace its origins to 1825 and as such is the oldest privately chartered liberal arts college west of the Mississippi in the United States. It'’s appropriate that one of Shreveport'’s oldest hardware stores can be found across the street from that lovely green campus.

Katee and I were headed for Saturday afternoon Cheesequake Blizzards at Dairy Queen but first we made a stop at Centenary Hardware. We're working on weatherproofing the house so we stopped by for some foam weather-stripping and a latch for the pull down attic door.

Look closely at the door to Centenary Hardware. When's the last time you saw "the big boys" advertising local theatre productions?

By the way the local media is giving thumbs up to both productions posted on the door. The Shreveport Times loved Princess Ida and for more about Anything Goes check out Shreveport.blogspot.com and Shreveportfaces.blogspot.com.
