I love towns that have that old time feel & yours sure does. I'm glad that some of your older buildings in town are being preserved for the future generations to enjoy. I'm glad that you town is surviving with the base being closed & now the steel industry & cotton industry on the decline. It is just so sad that we are losing so many industries to other countries. The only place in Arkansas that I have been is Ft Smith. We were visiting my brother in law who lived in Vian, Oklahome and we went to Ft Smith for the day. We had a good time.Kim @ Starshine Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09798836202949854375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-85335362132864752862009-07-02T15:24:57.395-05:002009-07-02T15:24:57.395-05:00Eve: OH, my!

I am going to have to get my map out as I always hear little Rock when I fly home, but I though it was quite a distance<br />from the Mississippi River. Someday, I would love to take that ride in the boat down the river. The one in Showboat ??<br />Have a great weekend.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560109853489042572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-67518687177400715192009-07-01T22:08:51.434-05:002009-07-01T22:08:51.434-05:00Great pictures Laurie!
