Day in Little Rock

The Stranger
1/31/2012 at 12:00am  
Personal inquiries are just a part of the in-depth welcome that strangers get from Little Rock natives. The questions flow freely from the uninhibited mouths of cocktail partygoers during my dutiful appearances at my husband's work things or after brunch when he bumps into someone who, although he's never met them in person before, can trace his family tree. read more >
One Part 'Sugar'
12/31/2011 at 12:00am  
Jim Hathaway, now a Little Rock attorney, was cast in the role of Tony Curtis' Joe (Josephine), the saxophone player, and yours truly was cast in Jack Lemmons' role as Jerry (Daphne), the bass player. What should immediately come to mind is how one would go about obtaining the appropriate costumes for two tie-wearing, short-haired boys from Catholic High. The answer is found by turning the page on yet another day in Little Rock. read more >

My absolute favorite bookstore in Little Rock is River Market Books & Gifts, part of the Central Arkansas Library System. Located on the Main Library campus in the River Market area, they promote themselves as carrying “gently read” books, collectible books and literary gift items. read more >

Public Transportation

I've found that if you want to startle your friends, one good way is to say, “I was riding the bus downtown the other day ...” Jaws drop, women faint, children run screaming from the room, dogs whine in terror. It's a very satisfying spectacle. read more >
Days On the Campaign Trail
6/30/2011 at 12:00am  
Campaigning was a young man's game in the summers either side of 1960. Primaries were held deep into August, air conditioning was random, and the interstate system was in its infancy. read more >
Movement
6/1/2011 at 12:00am  
A class called “Movement” at the Arkansas Arts Center started it all. I heard about it from a friend, and I started taking the class when I moved to Little Rock in 1982. It was a great way to get the kinks out of my body after a day at the office. read more >
