I kind of like SoBo. But I don't think you could make it work for Shreveport. SoSo, SoSh, SoPo--None of those sound very appealing...

Ok you are good but can you come up with something for Farmerville? If so I know you are REALLY good! LOL let's see what you got.

When I get home (in about an hour or so) I'll type out some information on the Bossier area for you.  I figure as a driver, he probably is over this way a lot. And also, Tango is based in Shreveport, and that is a pretty large trucking company. And then over in Ruston is Davison, which is also rather large.

Well I was a small boy at the time, and the reason for us moving there was my dad got an engineering job over there to work on designing a conveyor belt to transport iron ore. I honestly dont remember a whole lot, except that my parents used to scuba dive for conch shells over there and we lived up on a mountain. I am part Chinese and part Cajun, so Im sure we looked a bit odd being there, but the Jamaicans are pretty accomodating from what Ive heard. My dad said never to go into Kingston though, because it scared even him. We lived in the Mandeville area of Jamaica.

Wow, very cool! Part Chinese and part Cajun? Yep, I'd say you stood out as much as anyone else would. Yes, Kingston is supposedly pretty bad, we stayed in Montego Bay at the Sandals resort, but we got out into the town and it was a very interesting place. Even being conned out of $5 by an old lady actually added to that trip. lol
