Shreveport, LA Says We’re Not Trashy – Ramps Up Litter Enforcement
It's hard to be proud of something when it's dirty or covered in trash and the City of Shreveport is ready to take its trash and blight issue seriously. It's true! Shreveport is cleaning up its act and yesterday, Thursday, June 6, 2024, will go down in history as the first day that the Shreveport Police Department made their first arrest concerning littering and they did this using newly placed cameras at known dumping sites, areas for litter, etc... This makes me a very happy girl. However, Shreveport isn't alone when it comes to blight which seems to go hand in hand with poverty.
Here’s What the State of Texas Says About the Youngest Age to Get a Tattoo
Personally, I do not have any tattoos. That doesn't mean that I haven't thought about. I would like to get one at some point but it is not an absolute want at this time. I did find it interesting that my girlfriend's 17-year-old daughter discussed with us recently about what her first tattoo should be. I don't have kids of my own so it was surprising to hear she would already want a tattoo of some kind. While she is about to be of age to legally get a tattoo in Texas, it got me to thinking, what is the youngest someone can be to legally get a tattoo in Texas? Believe it or not, it appears there is no age mandate in Texas law.
