Tips on getting into McArthur.

Any life hacks on getting your kid into McArthur when you're zoned for Annie Camp? Does anyone have a copy of the zoning map?

We've considered just getting an apartment in the zone, but are looking to find some way around this.

Anybody else think it's unusual the amount of street repair that seems to have just started when it got brought up in debates and the mayor is up for reelection?

Friends part 2

Hey everyone I am 24 married f who is needing more female friends. After graduating college it’s hard to make friends when you’re the youngest one at your work, most of my coworkers could be my mom lol. But some of my hobbies include, going to the gym, yardsales/thrifting, going to bar for a few drinks, and shopping. I do not smoke, so drugs or any of that stuff. I posted this before and got nowhere. I have pretty much all available social media as well.

Scammy landlord

My landlord won't return the deposit. They didn't charge me for any damages and do not refuse it. Instead, they keep saying that the office has sent a check, then they've sent a replacement check, but it's been 3 months and nothing. I know for sure that I'm not the only person who didn't get the deposit back.

Is there an office or an authority in JB or anywhere in the state that can help me to get my deposit back? I tried Fair Housing Commission, but they only deal with discrimination cases.

Complaining to Labor, how?

I was employed as a full time employee at a certain retail store. Because sales are weak they asked me to reduce hours but then again the owners don't know the decision yet so they are confused. After two weeks without a notice they reduced my salary to half and insurance is gone. I was surprised.

I talked to them and they told me they're going to look for someone to do my job(a team) because they think they can sell from the team. And asked me about my consultation fee per hour. I told them and then again they said. They dont know if I need to be laid off soon but they will see. Now, im being bombarded by their messages asking me to tRain or orient them. (Before they fire me).

Is this a labor complaint? Or am I just whiny? Working with them wasn't a smooth sailing breeze but I stayed because of the money.

Supreme Court blocks Issue 3 MMJ count from ballot. Thoughts?

The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the name of a proposed Medical Marijuana Amendment was misleading, stating it implied the amendment was only about medical use when it also aimed to legalize possession for recreational purposes. As a result, the Secretary of State declared Residents can cast their votes on Issue 3, but the Arkansas State Supreme Court said they will NOT be counted.

How do people feel about not being able to vote on this issue, especially since it affects marijuana laws in the state?

City Serves Notice for Emergency Condemnation of Citizen’s Bank Building

The city served noticed to possibly tear down the building. How do you think it will be done, explosives? demolition ball? or what? Or do you think it will end up in courts before they do anything?

https://neareport.com/2024/10/18/city-serves-notice-for-emergency-condemnation-of-citizens-bank-building/

“After thorough research and multiple meetings with engineering and construction professionals, it has been determined that the most practical, expedient, and safest action to reopen Main Street is to move forward with an emergency condemnation process to remove the structure,” Mayor Harold Copenhaver said.

Thinking about moving, scared of tornadoes

I want to move here but I have lived in Phoenix, Arizona my whole life and have basically 0 experience with tornadoes. I know that the chances of being killed in one is pretty low. But like, how do you know when one is coming? Are there Sirens? Phone alerts? Do you just have to keep the radio/tv on the weather channel constantly? Can you just tell with your Arkansan spidey sense? Is it worth it to get one of those above ground storm shelters for like 5k if you don't have a basement?
