Little Rock’s forgotten community

In Special projects, Uncategorized on July 31, 2009 at 5:05 am

QUESTION: I was driving through town, cruising by the Clinton School of Public Service and Heifer International. I hit 6th street, took a left and ended up in the East Little Rock neighborhood. I kept driving down 6th street and stumbled upon this huge eerie development that made me feel like I was in the movie 28 days later. All the windows in this development which was made up of six or seven rather large units were blown out. You could see old mattresses and papers strewn about…it seemed as if the people had to run for their lives or something. I drove to 9th street, made a left and saw single family houses that looked the same. Really spooky. I’ve asked friends but no one seems to know what happened much less what this place is or was… What can you find out? Thanks, Liz.

QUESTION: Dear Plainclothesman, I was at Riverfest 2009 and had a blast. I love funnel cakes but only eat them once a year…at Riverfest. I have always thought they came from Arkansas, but my friend says that’s not true. Who’s right?

Yours truly,

Doughfried

The plainclothesman, Arkansas’ history detective has just been unleashed at least in cyberspace on Sync Weekly, the Arkansas Democrat & Gazette’s free weekly. Visit often and ask questions.

Question: Hey plainclothesman, I heard that our state line on the east has moved and that its somewhere in the Mississippi river and that we can’t know for sure what it is and that this was caused by an earthquake or something. Is this true?

Thanks,

West Memphis is the place to be
