I was working on a map of New Orleans CD sirens, and during a break I thought it would be fun to check out Shreveport. Shreveport isn't a particular noteworthy city except for being a former leader when it came to oil production. As far as civil defense is concerned, I am fairly certain they had some kind of system.
We all know about the thunderbolt at McNeil and Milam surely:

However I was doing some poking around and found this guy in the neighborhood of Queensborough at the elementary school:

What betrays this as a siren location to me are two thngs:
1. the (excuse my language) "pussy pegs" (Yes, they are nicknamed that by linemen) running up the pole. It's seen on other siren sites such as the former La Crosse, WI Thunderbolts, and on the Los Angeles sirens. However, there is one more smoking gun...
2. The conduit that runs up the pole and down the pole.
I am going to guess this is an ex-thunderbolt site judging but what I am seeing here.
Does anyone have any information on Shreveport's CD system? I ask this because I am interested in finding out more about this obscure city as far as CD systems are concerned. If I find more siren sites, I will update this post.
