The train was like walking through a hobby lobby or a Ellis pottery. Once the sun set I enjoyed the scene. I didn't need to sit with Santa..... and I left.

Since my CDL was expired, I was in need of an ID card so that I could stop using my military ID for…read moreidentification because it's tired. Not having an appointment, which I totally forgot you can do, I walked in and was promptly helped. The walk in process was explained to me, and I thought it couldn't be that bad, and it wasn't. From entering to exiting on a Thursday around noon it took about 1hr 15min. That isn't the best part. The lady who helped me took the time out to explain how to get my CDL reinstated. Then she went on to ask if I was a veteran and would I like that added to my ID. In the end, I left feeling like I had learned something, and I dont know her name, but I want to thank her for being patient and giving me info I didn't even know I needed. This is only my second time using this DMV, but it seems like a change of location has brought about a change in attitudes from the customer service. Speaking of location, I like it. It seems roomier and cleaner. The only con I could see is that they don't use the take a number system anymore, so I found myself having to move just to hear my name called. People were coming in having loud conversations to the point you couldn't hear clearly. If I could change one thing it would be for Louisiana to allow for most DMV functions to be done online to the point the only reason you need to go to the DMV is to take a road test. They should also provide a truck for the CDL road test at the DMV. This would allow them to focus on training and customer service.

As someone who's grown up around Caddo Lake, the old drawbridge isn't just a structure; it's…read morepractically a living, breathing part of our town's history and daily rhythm. You might see it as just a way to get across the water, but for us, it's so much more.While I might not remember the days when it actually opened for boat traffic (that lift mechanism was disabled back in the 1940s!), I absolutely recall the unique experience of crossing it when it was a single-lane bridge. It wasn't about waiting for it to go up anymore, but about that patient dance of waiting for the other side to clear. Only one car at a time could safely traverse it, and there was a certain rhythm to that wait - the slow, deliberate approach, the quick glance to see if anyone was coming, and the polite wave to the driver on the other side as you took your turn. It was a forced pause in our often-hurried lives, a moment to watch the boats glide through or just chat with the person in the car next to you. It felt like a little community gathering, even if it was just for a few minutes.The bridge has seen it all: decades of floods, droughts, countless sunrises and sunsets over the cypress trees. It's stood strong through it all, a testament to the resilience of our area. It connects not just two sides of the lake, but also generations of families who've used it. My grandparents crossed it, my parents crossed it, and now I do (though now it's a pedestrian bridge, a new chapter for our old friend).Of course, it's not without its quirks. Sometimes the traffic flow could be a bit slow, and you learned to factor that into your travel time. And sure, the paint might be peeling in a few spots, and it groans a bit louder than it used to. But those imperfections are part of its character, like wrinkles on a beloved elder's face.In a world where everything seems to be getting faster and newer, the Caddo Lake drawbridge is a comforting constant. It's a reminder of simpler times, of the unique beauty of our bayou country, and of the unhurried pace of life that makes this place so special. It's more than just a bridge; it's a landmark, a memory-maker, and a true icon of our hometown.
