Belcher, LA
I have to meet to pick up my step-daughter in Belcher (it's the halfway point), and I was wondering if there is a gas station there, or anything like that?

There is a small gas station at the crossroads in Ida, a few miles south of the state line. I believe the gas station at the state line has been closed for a few years now. There is also a gas station in Hosston, which will probably be nearest to Belcher. Otherwise, it's north Shreveport if you want a gas station. There is literally nothing in Belcher. There are homes, a church or two, and cotton gins, and that's about it. Belcher is one of those places that time simply forgot.

Thanks! We really don't have to have a gas station per say, just a "landmark" of any kind to be able to meet at to pick her up. I haven't been down 71 in years and couldn't remeber which towns had what. I figured the one right across the state line was closed, it needed to be a long time ago. We have to keep this in the "middle" so it will have to be around Belcher. Thanks again!  |

No problem. Well, unfortunately there's nothing really in Belcher. If this link works, this should give you an idea of what I mean when I say "nothing". lol
belcher, la - Google Maps
Thinking a little more, if you go one town north to Gilliam, turn east off Highway 71 and onto Lay Street (it's in a big curve, hard to miss), go down a little bit and there is a little downtown area. It's very tiny but there are a handful of storefronts there. That could work.
Wish I could help more. Good luck! |
