Best credit union for car loans

I never want to own a credit card, they feel like scams and I heard unions have better interest rates. Any help would be great

Arkansas valley electric cooperative

Having to switch to this electric company soon, spoke to them on the phone and they said depending on credit history you may or may not have to pay a deposit. Does anyone know what is more important in the decision to have a deposit or not, amount of credit history or the score itself? I have a bit of a better credit score, but my roommate has much more credit history, so we're wondering whose name to put the utility under so that we have the best chance of not having to pay a deposit

Day trips within NEA

Hello, everyone.

I just finished my first semester and got some time to kill in a new state. Hoping for some good recommendations for pretty outdoorsy stuff and maybe some good food destinations. Really just whatever makes for good trips within the state or just outside of it (loving the looks of Mark Twain National Forest).

What is ArDOT spraying?

I just saw an ArDOT truck on the highway spraying something on the road and/or ditches. Seems too cold for mosquitos and too warm for salt. Any ideas what they are spraying?

Small suburbs we should visit?

So my wife and I are taking a trip up from Texas for a couple of days. We’re over the heat here in Texas, plus the cost of living is outrageous and we need some relief. We are planning on moving in the next few months and figured we’d check out states that are in the vicinity of Texas so we don’t have to hop on a plane during the holidays

Is there anywhere you’d recommend we look? We do want to be close-ish to a major city, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. We’re planning on visiting OK for a couple of days and then traveling east to Arkansas for a couple of days before heading back home

Need immediate help moving

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. My husband and I are currently in a rough position. We had court yesterday against our property management company and regardless of having a good case against them, the judge had no intentions of hearing our side and signed a writ of possession. We aren’t sure if we will have until Monday for them to serve it or today, but once they serve it we will have 24 hours to get everything out by then. We were expecting to have to move but not In such a short amount of time. We currently have 50$ and have to get all of our stuff moved to Little Rock from Searcy which is an hour there and an hour back. We have no friends or family they are able to help, my husband is currently waiting to get kidney surgery for a Stone that’s too large to pass and is in a lot of pain and I am 32 weeks into high risk pregnancy and have to watch our 4 year old son. He’s already made 2 trips there and back (we only have our pickup truck) loading and unloading all by himself and having to take it all down our apartment stairs. We don’t know what to do and can only afford maybe 2 more trips but that will not be enough to get all of our stuff there and I don’t think he will be able to even do that himself. I feel horrible he’s having to do I all alone, and don’t want us to have two leave most of stuff behind, it’s all we have. So I’m asking is anyone knows if there are any places willing to help someone move for free? If we just had a trailer we would be able to do it all in one trip, but can’t currently afford to rent one, and we need extra hands to help move stuff. Please if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. We are at the end of our ropes and just needing a little help. TIA

Kitten needs help at Arkansas Big Piney Rest area/Wayside Park

Mile marker 67 on I-40 Eastbound side. Abandoned 4-6 month old kitten left by owners about a month ago, reported by workers and visitors.

A lady going to NC posted about the girl kitten on on a lost and found Facebook page yesterday.

Is there anyone in the area that could check on her or give her any help or a better living situation?

We live a few hrs away from there, didn't want to attempt a rescue so far away if someone closer could help more quicker or maybe verify info for us that will help us find the kitten without having to hunt her down or feel more sad about the situation. Thank you.

Mechanic Recommendation for pre-purchase vehicle inspection: Jonesboro, AR

I'm out an of state buyer looking for someone to do a pre purchase vehicle inspection on a 2005 Ford Excursion with the 6.0 Powerstroke in it.

Needs to be familiar with the 6.0 and Ford products.

I want someone that does this as a business so they can tell me and show me examples of their other inspections so I know what I'm going to get for my money.

The location has a lift that they will put the vehicle on for the inspection.

I don't want to fly out to Memphis and then drive to Jonesboro and find out there is something that I can't accept.

I plan on bulletproofing the engine so if you are about to leave a comment on how I should run from the 6.0, I already know its downfalls.

People in Arkansas, what major professional sports teams do you guys cheer for?

I feel like a state like Arkansas should have professional sports. But I'm curious what you guys cheer for. Maybe sports in Missouri (KC), Tennessee (Nashville), or maybe even Oklahoma or Texas? Let me know!

On Solid Ground: The River Rats of Arkansas

My grandma grew up on the white river and I’ve always been interested in the history of the river people that lived there. I saw an article dated 2006 that talked about this documentary but I could never find a link. Today I found one on Vimeo. I’m sure there are more people interested.

Pot hole caused tire damage

My friend was on 67 North a few weeks ago and hit a really bad pot hole in that crazy shit going on around Jacksonville. It immediately destroyed two tires. She had to drive down to the exit on flats, because the concrete barriers are pushed up right to the edge of the road. It was terrifying. Tow truck and two tires. She called ARDOT to see about reimbursement, and they have her the number of the construction company that is doing the road work. After giving her the run around for weeks, they denied any responsibility. Has anyone ever dealt with anything like this? Is she just up a creek here? Any advice is appreciated. Here is the hole she hit.
