June 2024: Summer Beautiful You

School’s out, the days are longer and getting hotter, and vacation plans are underway – all is good in the SBC. This is an exciting issue with a special section that will give you more information on the medical services that our doctors provide. Ask the Medical Experts drills a little deeper into understanding the medical profession. It’s a great guide to keep on hand.

We did something fun this month. In May, in honor of Mother’s Day, we asked our SB Magazine Facebook fans to nominate a special woman who they thought deserved a “Day of Pampering.” The response was overwhelming, so instead of one recipient, we chose two. Thanks to the services of our loyal advertisers from the beauty industry, these two ladies were treated to Queen for a Day experience.

In honor of fathers, we have a story on luxury cars. You ladies will enjoy reading this, too. We had a great time visiting and taking pictures at the Paddock, where you can store your expensive motorized toys in a climate-controlled, so clean-you-can-eat-off-the-floor environment.

Everyone is abuzz with the news of G-Unit Studios coming to town. What could this mean for our area? How about job fulfillment? How about the city of Shreveport being free of the financial maintenance burden of the facility? How about the prospect of the movie industry thriving again in northwest Louisiana? All of these things will help build our economy and energize the art and culture environment of Shreveport-Bossier. So, come on 50 Cents. Shreveport-Bossier welcomes you!
