Don't forget the Certified Arkansas Farners Market this morning from 7:00 am 'till noon. It's perfect for those who missed the big market on Saturday (like me) or prefer the smaller crowds. So drop in the Market this morning at 6th & Main Streets. No Arts & Craft Market 'till Saturday

This from our friends over at the Amboy Neighbohood Association

Maybe you saw this on the news recently. It’s called Nixle, a computer-based system that allows police officers to send mass messages to residents whenever there's a traffic tie-up or a crime alert.

"Say break-ins are occurring in their neighborhood, we want them to know that," said Chief Danny Bradley. The notice can come to your email or to your cell phone. Officers simply input the information on their computer and it’s ready for distribution just 20 seconds later. "It's very time consuming to go door to door and notify people but this gives us a tool to let people know quickly,” Bradley said.

Over the last few weeks, the City has been redoing the white reflective cross walks on Main Street at the 6th, 7th and 8th Street intersections.  Pretty nice

The alley between Maple and Main Streets that runs from Broadway to 6th Street has been turned into a patchwork obstacle course from the sewer work, City Grove work City utility work and general age of the alley.  The City will soon be bidding out work to rebuild this alley with curbs, new pavement and improved drainage. 

At some point, this alley will be part of the commercial fabric of downtown with rear store access, small stores fronting the alley and pedestrian traffic.

Here is another Federal Stimulus program you will likely NOT hear about from the NLR Don't Ask, Don't Tell City Hall. Heck, if you hear or find anything from the City on how anybody but the City can get stimulus money you are very lucky indeed.

This Federal program allows first time home buyers to get up to $8,000 in tax credits and apply that to a down payment or closing costs right now without waiting on their tax return checks. This is a program you would think the City would be all over, what with a stagnant population over the last 20 years and a glut of housing and lots available in older neighborhoods perfect for young families starting out. These first time home buyers bring instant tax money into both the City and NLR School District.

Saturday is a travel day for me. From Key West back to Argenta where I can nurse my sunburn and get to work now that I am all recharged and relaxed. Don't look for many posts on Saturday, but watch for next week. I have a few good ideas

The Argenta Art Market is having its grand opening to coincide with the farmers market tomorrow, Saturday May 30th from 7:00 am 'till noon. .  They are expecting up to 20 local arts and crafts vendors to attend this first opening day.  The arts and craft market will be held next door to the Farmers Market in what was previously a skate park on an old building pad. 

This market will feature Arkansas dacrts and arts and is a new concept you will enjoy. This is going to be nice addition to the events going on in Argenta on Saturday mornings! Come down and enjoy the new Argenta.
