What’s it like?

Hey all. So I’m considering moving here soon and just wanted to know more about it. Like age demographics are there a lot of families or mostly college kids and are their any good jobs. I’ve been doing research on Google but wanted the perspective of people who stayed here. Thanks in advance!

Favorite place to work

Where have y’all served and can you tell me your good and bad experiences? I’ve been a server for 5 years. I had quit due to my pots diagnosis and struggle but I’m thinking about going back to serving at a new place and I think I’m ready! If I wasn’t so good at it I’d go for something else. But I am open to anything though! Part time or full time jobs!

Anyone know who buys problem cars?

It will run with a some work but I’m not interested in spending money on it. I was trying to wait until January (it will be 10 years old) and I can sell it to a junkyard without a title. But now I need to get rid of it and I’m limited without the title.

Update- we found a solution. Thanks everyone!

Citizens Bank What If

If the building is eventually demolished, what would you envision as the ideal replacement? What types of developments or spaces do you think would best serve the community and enhance the area?

Library funding on the ballot. Mayoral candidates need to take a public position.

https://www.kait8.com/2024/09/20/millage-increase-city-library-november-ballot/

Time to take a stand. Are you for book banning or are you against it?

Are you for the greatly reduced services we face, or are you against it?

Any library user has seen the devastating effects created by the cut in funding.

My vote depends on it.

Traffic ticket

I am from out of town and received a speeding ticket on 555 from ASP on the way out of Jonesboro. I thought the speed limit had gone back up to normal, but regardless I was going too fast. Does anyone have a recommendation for a traffic attorney? I just want to avoid the insurance increase but will make the drive back to court if necessary.
