Gogo's take on Greenbrook (Shreveport)
“Go with care. Greenbrook is a quiet, predominantly residential suburban pocket in South Shreveport that avoids the severe violent crime rates of inner-city neighborhoods, but it remains subject to citywide property crime trends. Visitors have little reason to visit outside of visiting residents, but routine situational awareness is sufficient during daylight hours.”
