Cedar Grove (French: Bosquet de Cèdre) is a neighborhood within the confines of Shreveport, Louisiana.
It developed a recent reputation as a dangerous, inner city neighborhood, especially during the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s.
Cedar Grove has a much longer distinction as home to working class gin joints, brothels, and illegal gambling as far back as the 1930s.
Cedar Grove is also home to Lava House Records, which hosts many of Shreveport's musical artists.
It stemmed from an incident in which a white woman shot at an African American man when a drug deal failed.
