It seems like everyone remembers this awesome restaurant that was located at 610 Milam Street in downtown Shreveport. Nanking opened in 1937 and closed in 2009. We thought we would show you a blend that we made of it using one of the old pictures we found at the Northwest Louisiana Archives at LSUS!

We're also attaching some of the other old pictures we found of it while researching Shreveport's history! While we all wish it was still there maybe some of you can share your favorite memories of this awesome restaurant!

History Corner is produced in partnership with Mark and Mike Mangham of Twin Blends: Northwest Louisiana History Hunters
