- Apptegy layoffs - anyone hearing who's hiring around Little Rock?in Local News ·
Good one, Clay. LRSD and PCSSD slipped my mind, and I'm usually reading their budget docs anyway because of the millage. Funny how I never think of them as employers. Fair point on the DMs too. If…
- Apptegy layoffs - anyone hearing who's hiring around Little Rock?in Local News ·
Thanks, both. I'd have missed UAMS and Children's. Those are the kind of places that never come up when people talk about tech jobs here, but they post IT and data roles all the time. The state job…
- Apptegy layoffs - anyone hearing who's hiring around Little Rock?in Local News ·
Saw that Apptegy confirmed they cut staff in a restructuring a few weeks back, but they're not saying how many. So nobody outside really knows how big it was. I don't work there, but a couple of…
- Western Hills, Mabelvale and McDermott closing - anyone heard where kids are being reassigned?in Local News ·
Good point on the support staff, Randy. Teachers at least have a contract and a placement process. Cafeteria workers, aides and custodians are the ones I never see mentioned in any of the coverage…
- Flock cameras: 690,000 different vehicles in 30 days??in Town Talk ·
Randy, that's where I land too. A camera on a public road doesn't bother me. What I'd want is a case number or a reason required for every search, with that showing up in the audit. If somebody runs…
- December is stacked, what are you actually putting on the calendar?in Events ·
Good call on the Friday or Sunday symphony. If it's at Robinson like usual, that's only a few blocks from the River Market. A Saturday matinee followed by the Muppets that evening could work if the…
- GloWILD at the zoo, worth the ticket or one and done?in Events ·
Good to know a weeknight is that much calmer. Tuesday or Wednesday should work, since the kids have school the next day and we'd want to be home early anyway. Opening time makes sense too. The…
- GloWILD at the zoo, worth the ticket or one and done?in Events ·
My wife wants to go to GloWILD at the Little Rock Zoo. Giant silk lanterns, some of them up to 30 feet tall, and over half a million lights. It's ticketed select nights from Oct 29 through Jan 3…
- Flock cameras: 690,000 different vehicles in 30 days??in Town Talk ·
Agree on the audit part. Monthly doesn't mean much if nobody outside the department ever sees what came out of it. Posting a short summary on the transparency page (number of searches, how many got…
- New anime convention in Little Rock Nov 21, anyone going?in Events ·
Haven't seen a real announcement, just the same Reddit chatter. Not my scene, but my guess for a first-year con in Little Rock is the Statehouse Convention Center, since it's already set up for this…
