Made from scratch vs Made fresh daily
Posted By: shtuck711

I was sitting at the red light at the corner of Rogers and 74th street, watching Stonewood Villages's electric sign flash information about our restaurant.  It proudly states "made fresh daily," as it scrolls through our hours, etc.  It occurred to me that "made fresh daily" doesn't really descri

Did you know the Declaration of Independence was a declaration freeing America from an oppressive government.  Speaking of oppression, did you know this time last year after the city had tried to force a 1% PFTax onto the citizens, a grassroots group of citizens petitioned to repeal the ordinance

To microwave or not to microwave....
Posted By: shtuck711

Long before we opened the doors at River City Deli, we were planning and strategizing about our menu, our customer base, and our equipment.  The equipment was a big deal.  In order to do all of our meats in-house instead of buying pre-cooked deli meat, we needed some specific (and expensive!!) eq

Euro Cup 2012: The Proud, The Wife
Posted By: huyanc

The Football field is always a hot issue, so are the sidelines. What the hot point is not just the cries out of the female fans, but also the eyes of a group of women, who are not crying but always affecting the warriors’ hearts on the field.

"Wrong Facts", Let's Get Transparent!
Posted By: Jack Swink

 I’m glad you have found more recent numbers, the older numbers were quite astonishing in Jonesboro’s favor.  The latest figures “citydata.com” had were six years old and one would think the numbers may have changed, but the percentages have probably grown further apart.

FS Taxpayers Compared to Jonesboro
Posted By: Jack Swink

Sure the good, hardworking taxpayers of this great city deserve better than what they are receiving in return from the high water rates, high sanitation rates and a high sales tax.  An alias by the name of "Statistics" tried to smooth over comparisons between Fort Smith and Jonesboro and I just w

Efficiency In FS Sanitation
Posted By: Jack Swink

If efficiency is the quest for our city administration and sanitation department, then why are we ignoring the 2012 budget for the Administration of Sanitation?  This is not the Operations portion of sanitation, but the supervisory and administration support portion only.  The Fort Smith 2012 bud

The H20ZONE
Posted By: nickrhamcunningham

After the news that a water park facility is being built at Ben Geren Recreational Park, I felt it necessary to start a movement to give this highly anticipated, much needed "thing to do" in Fort Smith a proper and COOL name before it's too late...Well, maybe it is too late.
