Agree with Terrance on going right at opening. We took my sister's two to one of these a couple years back and the first hour was fine, then around lunch it turned into a wall of strollers and you couldn't get near the…

I took my grandson to one of these dinosaur things a few years back, not sure if it was the same outfit, and honestly the kids loved it but my wallet didnt. Its the extras that get you, the rides and the balloon and…

Nice, you'll have a good run with Friday and then Saturday. The women's games are underrated honestly, tickets are cheap and you can actually hear the band and the squeaking sneakers 😂 Missouri should be a good early…

My daughter asked me to take the two grandkids (they're 3 and 6) to Jurassic Quest at the Statehouse Convention Center this weekend, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it. Tickets start around $31 a kid and that…

Good idea, Carol. The agendas get posted ahead of time, so I'll try to dig through a few this week and see what's been going through on consent. Might take a couple evenings 😅 If I find anything camera related I'll…

Ha, I know that hoop jumping, Megan. I've been doing a yard sale on the same corner for years and the city's never asked me to explain what I did with the folding tables. I've lived here long enough to remember when…

Reading millage budget docs for fun, Kevin, that's dedication 😄 But you're right, the districts are huge employers and nobody counts them. One more angle, and it's me being me about new businesses: the newer spots…

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 anybody wants to send…

So the results are in and Mayor Scott got re-elected over B.J. Wyrick, roughly 60 to 40 from what I saw. Virgil Miller, Kathy Webb and Andrea Lewis all kept their seats too. Dwight Townsend Sr. took the open Ward 2…

Thanks for offering the resume help, Kevin. That's the kind of thing that actually helps someone. Mod note: I'm glad this has stayed on who's hiring and not on what happened inside the company. Let's keep it that way…

Sorry I'm late to this one, been a week. Emily, "not anti-police, just anti-trust us" is pretty much where I land too. I'm not against the cameras and I'm not asking anyone to take any down. I just think if the city is…

Clay's right about layers. Wool socks too, your feet go first when you're standing under those lanterns. If the farmers market vendors still have cider that late in the season, it beats packet cocoa in a thermos.

Update: buddy's in for Friday, so we're doing the Missouri women too 🙌 Taking your advice on the lots off University and I'll check the athletics site that day like Clay said, just in case they're charging. Real…

Years back, anything that cost real money got talked about out loud at the board table. Now it rides along on consent and nobody hears a word. An annual report seems like a small ask to me. I didn't watch Monday, so I…

Glad you're going, Blake. One thing on the "free" question: I wouldn't count on it every night. Parking around campus can change depending on what else is going on, so it's worth checking the Trojans athletics site the…

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 site is clunky, but…

I didn't watch it either, Monday night was soccer practice taxi duty. But if "staff time" was the objection, that's a funny one. One report a year? I fill out more paperwork than that for a youth league field permit…

Hoodie's probably fine for the building itself, it's the walk back to the car that gets you. I'd do a hoodie with a real jacket over it and just shed one if it's warm inside. It's been a chilly Nov for the late games…

Second the Venture Center... they're good people to talk to even if you're not a startup person. Also Arkansas Children's seems to have IT stuff posted all the time... Rough with school letting out in a couple weeks…

Ha good, that's what I was hoping to hear. Lots off University and a couple minute walk is way better than what I remember 😅 Free would be a bonus too, I'll just budget a few bucks in case. Jacket noted. I was gonna…

Good call keeping this off the speculation. Nobody here knows what went on inside. Couple more to add to Kevin's list: UAMS and Arkansas Children's both hire IT and data people constantly and it's not always on the…

Leaving early isn't really a thing you need to worry about for the Trojans lol. I park in the lots right by Jack Stephens off University and walk, never spent more than a couple minutes hunting for a spot. Pretty sure…

Trojans basketball tips off at the Jack Stephens Center Saturday Nov 7 at 7 against Southeastern Louisiana. It's Travis Ford's first season as head coach so I'm curious to see what he's got going. The women are home…

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 people I know in the…

Good call on checking the stadium schedule. War Memorial is right there, so a high school playoff game or anything else going on that night is going to eat the lots fast. Weeknights should be clear most of the time…

Annual report doesn't sound like a heavy lift to me 🤷 I'd guess the pushback was staff time or "we already do this internally," but that's just a guess... would like to hear from someone who watched the meeting 👀…

Saw this one and wanted to see what folks here think. Director Phillips tried a second time to get the surveillance oversight ordinance moving and the board didn't advance it. Last December's try lost 3-5. [Here's the…

Ha, fair. I spend every fall Friday on a metal bleacher eating a concession stand hot dog, so I know the gym hot dog dinner life 😂 Enjoy the Muppets if you can make it work, and good luck bribing a sitter for the…

Live a couple blocks from the River Market so I can back up the thermos advice. The wind comes off the river and doesn't care that it's the Muppets. Bring the good blanket, not the one you're attached to. Kyle gets…

Park once and walk is the way I'd do it. If the symphony has a Saturday matinee at Robinson, you can walk over to the River Market after and grab something to eat before the Muppets. Downtown parking on a December…
