Looking for Local Dog Groomer

I have been going to Conway Animal Clinic (the best by the way) for 6 years, they no longer have dog grooming available. I have 3 dogs; a black lab, an Australian Kelpie and a Golden Retriever. Would really really likea mobile groomer as I have a hectic schedule and it's hard to break away but as long as it's in conway that's fine.

Good afternoon quick question for the folks on here .. anyone know of a business that checks your air quality at home?

I need someone to come and check air quality in my house and check it for mold! We bought one of those home kits from home Depot.. and came back with mold.

Looking for Fly Fishing Tips and Pointers

Myself (30) and my wife and 3 kids just recently moved here, we’re loving the town and wanting to get into fly fishing out here. Super new to the fly fishing world. Looking for some tips on what budget gear to start with or what all I would need as well as any local areas to try it out at. Thanks in advance!

My dad is missing.

Hey, I just want to say my dad fell down and hurt himself in Greenbriar.

His name is Eddie Osborne. He has gray/red short hair, a prominent mustache, and I’d guess he’s about 5’8’’. He’s about 60 years old.

He lives alone, his neighbor found him on the sidewalk and called 911. The ambulance took him away, according to the VA they took him to Conway regional Tuesday and he was discharged—but Conway regional won’t tell me when.

He doesn’t have a jacket, his wallet, or his phone.

I guess he just walked out when they discharged him. He’s probably somewhere in the area. He can’t make it very far with literally nothing and it’s been cold as fuck and I’m worried,

If any of you see him, he’s nice, just approach him and let him know I’m looking for him. If you see him message me and tell him to get to the Walmart or something and hang out for a minute, then message me and I’ll give you my number.

I just hope he’s okay

Edit: his ex girlfriend reported him missing. I don’t know much else, I believe she may have a recent picture.

I appreciate anybody who keeps an eye out.

I can’t believe I came here and got picked on by some of the members of this community during what is a difficult time for me. Because I’m basically doing this by myself. And it’s terrible to think there are people in your community that are just shit people. But he’ll learn.

I can’t seem to add pictures to this post but if you look either below my original comment or in my post history they are there. I just put them up.

City plumbing shenanigans

Howdy neighbors. This is the third time our main line has backed up and we are thinking it’s a city issue. Is anyone else living around Donaghey by corner pantry having issues with their plumbing backing up? The first two times we managed to catch it but this time it flooded half of our house, including getting into all three bedrooms 😭😭

How do we go about figuring out if it’s a city thing? Do we contact Conway corp? City hall?

We aren’t requesting plummers at this time so please don’t offer recommendations, we have a home warranty and we also know someone we may use if we don’t go the home warranty route. The point of this post is to see if others are dealing with similar things, and if anyone knows how to go about bringing this to the city’s attention 😭 thank you for reading!

Conway City Council Approves Conditional Use Permit for 2555 Prince St.

This is the property between Shadrach's and the walking trail. Back in May we saw concerns raised about this property in this subreddit. The city council approved the permit at the latest city council meeting at about 56:39.

The developer of the property plans to establish a new location for a restaurant called Rotolo's, which is a higher end pizzeria chain what would serve alcohol. Currently the closest existing location is in Memphis and there are no locations in Arkansas.

The city council was primarily concerned about the possibility of this lot becoming a drive-through business and impacting traffic on Prince St. A representative for the property developer reassured the council that the site plan does not have a drive-through currently, and amending the site plan to include a drive-through would be a major change and would require approval from the city council. After this reassurance, the city approved the permit.

The council approved operating hours from 7am to 10pm but the restaurant only plans to be open from 11am to 10pm for the time being.

I found the proposed site plan from the notes of the November 18 Planning Commission meeting where the planning commission recommended approval by the city council.

Christmas Caroling?

I have fond memories of Christmas caroling as a kid, but it’s not something that I’ve seen since I moved here. Do I just live in the wrong part of town, or does it not happen here?

Unprofessional Cell Phone Repair? A1

Went to A1 on Oak earlier and I had asked for a diagnosis. Left it with the employee and when I came back and they said that a Samsung screen would cost upwards of 300$ to replace I simply said I couldn't afford it and was on my way. The employee then said without skipping a beat "Well, maybe once you figure out how to manage your financial situation you can fix it." And I was a bit taken back by this. I didn't cause a fuss and just left the store but damn, that really hurt and it seemed really unprofessional. Am I overreacting or was this uncalled for? Definitely won't be going back either way.

Anyone needing a roommate?

Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs or anywhere between. I accidentally moved in with a psychopath and I need to get out like yesterday. It’s worse than it sounds. I don’t care who you are, anything is better than this. I have great credentials and a veteran and nurse. Stand up guy. Please message me. I woke up with this creep staring at me in the middle of the night last night and I have nowhere else to go at the moment, has stolen my cash and food etc. Does every drug in the book. I got completely fooled and now I’m stuck. Someone please see this with an extra room and help me escape this situation!

Pokemon Cards

I’m looking to come to Conway on Friday from out of town for some shopping. Does anyone know where all in the area I can find Pokemon cards for sale? I know about Trainer J’s, and of course GameStop, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart. But am I missing out on anything else?

Update: thank you for trialing our business

Some of you may have seen our post a couple of months ago where we were looking for people to trial our business, for those who didn't here's a quick rundown. A friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist.

We looked up the idea and found that the current stores in the market were ridiculously expensive or only offered kits without a frame or with a DIY frame (who wants to put together their own frame? Don't you just want to open the box and start painting). So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers and eventually we were able to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed.

We reached out to you here on Reddit asking you to test them out at cost price and we've received some amazing feedback as a result. Thank you if you were one of our OG customers! We want to continue to grow and get more feedback and reviews though so we're re-opening the offer in case you missed it the first time around or you want to order some more kits.

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now, we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early. If you've already ordered with that code it has no been reset so you can get the deal again!

We look forward to getting more feedback and hopefully you'll love our kits enough to spread the word to your family and friends!

Any Magic:TG fans in Conway?

Thought about getting back into Magic after a long hiatus. I'm curious if there's enough of a player presence here for limited events like FNM or sealed.

Letters written on the side of car

After work yesterday I found the letters “UPD” written right next to my door. I just thought some kid came by and wrote on it but my friend was worried it was some kind of sex trafficking tag or something. Alarming or nothing to worry about?

Local TikTok cringe "influencer"

There is a person that is going around Conway and little rock businesses harassing workers. He records everything wearing glasses with a camera built-in. He usually goes in with a picture of some sort and asks obscure questions. He is trying to insight people to get upset so he can crop videos to make them look bad. He doesn't tell anyone he is recording and records only inside private businesses.

He is in his 20s, white, and a thin build. Please be careful.

I posted what his channel as a screenshot. He goes by cringecamtv.

Stolen gaming handheld

Someone stole my retroid pocket 2S out of my bag at Walmart. I was sitting waiting on the bus, very upset because the first bus left me and I just wanted to go home. When I looked up I noticed a guy who was sitting on the other bench quickly move away. Noticed it was gone. Find my device can't located it because it's not connected to WiFi currently which means it's not in my apartment. I don't know what you think you're going to do with it, I bet you don't even know what it is. It's easily recognizable by the fox sticker on the back.

Friends as an adult?

Not quite sure what this will accomplish posting this, but why is it so difficult to make friends as a millennial (M28, wife 31)? I watched my parents grow up with a ton of friends everywhere. I had a lot in high school and immediately after but something changed (Yes life happens that’s not what I mean). It hasn’t been for a lack of trying, at least on my end. I don’t know something just always seems to be missing. Yes, I’m a little introverted, but I go to the gym. I’ve gone to events but people just don’t seem to match my vibe. If anyone has ever heard of, you have two kinds of friends, 3 AM friend and a 6 PM friend, I have always been the 3 AM friend. It’s hard to find people that are the same that aren’t into drama or anything that could complicate a friendship. My wife and I are gamers, but love to fish, we are full on nerds with DND, anime all of it, but we’ll still go to a rodeo or monster jam.
But at the end of the day, going to events with someone can be great and a lot of fun but if you’re ever going through something or you just want somebody over for dinner to have a beer, no one seems to show up. This goes for both myself and my wife.

Where that old motel used to be, any idea what's going in there?

Signage makes it look like a bank, not that we need more of those
