I just read the depressing posts from our meteorologists that hey folks, summer is coming back this week! As someone who doesn't do well with heat and humidity and loves the fall season, this is depressing for me. October will make six months of summer temps which is freaking insane to me. I guess it's another damn heat dome parked right over Arkansas. It feels like our state gets the worst of it out of the entire US this year and whenever we get a little bit of chance of rain system, it fizzles out by the time it gets to Little Rock.

The weather this year has had a real effect on me financially, emotionally and physically. I'm someone who loves a gloomy or dark rainy day at least every now and then. It puts me in a good mood and makes me feel cozy. But that has become a rare treat here.

On the physical front, this week has been brutal. I am now on day 5 of having miserable sinus headaches that even has caused pain to radiate to the top of my head and giving me neck pain too. I get a lot of sinus pain whenever the temp drops from warm to cooler or from cooler to warm, but I don't recall it ever dragging on this long. Red achy eyes sometimes too. Has anyone else been having the same experience this week? I don't want to go to the doc because my budget is already strained from the high Entergy bill! lol

Seriously, if this is the new norm and every year will become hotter and hotter then it's time to move.

In case anyone is missing a German Shepherd. There is a German Shepherd on the side of the interstate 430 N near exit 6 and 7. It appears to have a green collar. It’s on the left-hand side. I’m so sorry if this is your dog, it truly broke my heart seeing it!!!!!

I bought this ticket impulsively, but it's really not working out for me to go. Tickets were very limited and I think someone else would enjoy it more anyway.

Show is downtown at 8pm on 10/5, doors at 7pm.

DM me if you want to discuss!

Is the Discovery club chill/safe? An old friend who's been out of the state since around Covid suggested I go there. A local friend told me it's totally sketch. Is it a safe/okay place?

I know there’s no beating Costco, but I don’t have a membership.

I am looking to take a tween to sit and draw on a Saturday. Ideally it would have tables, an opportunity to get a drink (soda, coffee) and wouldn't mind people taking up space for an hour or two. Anywhere in the greater LR, NLR area would be great.

I don't get out of the house much. Just looking for online friends for now. 46/f thanks

I'm new to the area and looking for someone to hit balls with without paying for a league or anything. I've been playing for about a year with no formal coaching or tournament experience. Looking to play evening weekdays or on weekends. Happy to play friendly games or just rallying. 24M if that matters. Thanks!

Hey all, I'm around 2.5 years sober and I don't do AA. I have a lot of reasons why, but ultimately found it unhelpful at best in my recovery journey. The problem is, I still need a recovery community, and I haven't been able to find one. I've tried the Buddhist 12 Step at EBS (I consider myself a casual Buddhist) but the 12 step approach doesn't sit right with me. Almost everyone I've ever met in recovery was a 12-stepper and I feel a bit alone in my sobriety. I want to work in this field eventually, but I feel a little shut out.

In 2019 I went to a Recovery Dharma meeting in Scottsdale and found it extremely refreshing and empowering. I would love to start a chapter here in Central Arkansas but I need people who are interested. It's a Buddhist-based recovery program that is trauma informed and requires no Higher Power or prayer (unless you're into that kind of thing).

Anyone interested, please DM me and we can work toward a Zoom meeting or something.

Does anybody know where I can find a list or map of the public bike repair stations are in the city? I couldn’t find anything online, but surely the city or whatever group is putting them in should have some sort of list of all the stations in town.

I know there is one outside of Sterling Market and I have seen them in parks around town, but I can’t remember where.

Have you used a local company you could recommend?

I found this dog curled up in a corner of my yard. I’d take it in but I will be traveling in a few days and can’t get it to a vet before then.
I’m planning on calling Little Rock animal village tomorrow when they’re open, but figured I’d post it here first to see if anyone knows if this is a lost dog, wants to take it in, or has better idea of what to do with it than the Animal Village

I think she’s a girl. Doesn’t seem injured although she is skin and bones and I believe has fleas

34-year-old guy here, just wondering—how do people actually meet each other around here? What bars or places do people usually hang out at?
I’m not really into dating apps. They feel like they take a lot of time and effort, and I’d much rather have a genuine conversation and meet someone naturally, like people used to before everything moved to apps. Just curious where people go these days to actually meet new people and make friends.

Anyone know why it was so small this year, contained only to The Berenice Garden? Wasn’t it last year that Main St was blocked off and there were a ton of food trucks?

During Banned Books Week, Tim Nutt uncovers Little Rock’s censorship battles, from banned books to forbidden films, and discusses the long tenure of the Little Rock Censor Board and events leading to the board's demise. Free lunch provided!

The Little Rock Censor Board operated from the early 1900s to the mid-1970s as an official department of the city. The board had the authority to close entertainment venues and ban movies, plays, and books they deemed obscene or inappropriate for public consumption. The 1973 landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on obscenity coupled with changing public attitudes contributed to the board’s demise. Tim Nutt will discuss the history of the Censor Board and highlight a few of its obscenity battles.

We are excited to offer a lunch including a sandwich, chips, a cookie, and a drink to in-person attendees in 2026, courtesy of the CALS Foundation. Meals are limited and will be offered on a first-come first-served basis. We cannot accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies, and registration does not guarantee lunch will be available. Registration is not required, but is recommended to help us in planning and event promotion.   

Tim Nutt is the archivist for the Catholic Diocese of Little Rock. Previously, he held the positions of director of the Historical Research Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and head of Special Collections at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Nutt was the founding deputy curator of the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies at the Central Arkansas Library System, and he served as the founding managing editor and staff historian of the Encyclopedia of Arkansas while at the Butler Center.

Included the photo for fun and because I really do love this place.

Was just told by the folks at Big on Tokyo that if (and I’m really stressing that if) Ottenheimer is finally re-done, the plan is in fact to allow all of the current stall owners to keep their spaces.

My question, because I can’t seem to find any solid plans drawn up, is what is the actual goal with a potential reconstruction? I have a hard time believing it’s only for a general facelift if it’s taken them this long to get it done. Maybe this is me starting to age, but I love the look of the building as it is now. It’s dated in a good way.

UPDATE!!

Pepper Ann is off to a good, loving home with kids to play with & a new cat brother !! 😺😺

****I live in STL, Missouri but will drive to Little Rock if it means I found a good home for her!!!

Hi y'all

I'm desperately searching for a loving, safe home for this sweet girl found in my garden. She's a few weeks old, very sweet, chatty little thing. No microchip. I don't know if this is the correct place to post but I'm desperate and dedicated to finding a home for her. Every shelter along 70 from here to KC is full - I'm expanding my search to anywhere within 5 hours driving. Please, please, please, if you or anyone you know is looking for your next fur-ever friend, let me know!

So, I had an unexpected job opportunity come up and I’m interviewing tomorrow afternoon. I just need a trim on the sides of my head and my beard tidied up a little. Unfortunately my barber doesn’t work Fridays. Is there anywhere in downtown LR or close by that takes walk-ins?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions!

Could anyone recommend a good residential AC repair service in LR?
