$1.00 for the sub.
$37,499.00 for the various political pockets in attendence of said meeting to buy sub.
"Private Donations" Ha! How about " We got another way to graft money folks , and this is a good one!
NLR used to be called "Argenta" back in the old days. "Argenta" was used as slur, a put down, and as a "low blow" to residents. So eventually with new decades of folks coming up, "Argenta" was pretty much lost in history.
Downtown re-newals got to be a new thing around the country. Gotta get that revenue back up somehow to support the movers and shakers and politicians that had stole properties / wanting to steal more propoerties so they could get a pc of the Clinton Library, and Little Rock's Downtown River Market Downtown Renewal and all the "action".
NLR and LR have had a Political Machine going forever. This machine "used" to work more friendly...some grating of the graft started happening.
There is a Trolley car - again. In the old days trolley cars were used in the cities. Folks always said they should have kept these instead of going to City Buses. City Buses was another Political deal with kinfolks of course.
Trolley car makes a run on both sides of the Arkansas River, See the Sub, the Library, Old State House, River Market, Argenta, Stay at the Peabody, and the whole "sha-bang".
Oops...about that 'bang" part, seems with all them Surveillance cameras, come legal NO CCW signs. So a LOT of places one may want to carry, while vistiing all this stuff -one cannot. Seems Clinton still gonna "keep you safe" .
That Sub and Library accross the River from one another. I-30 bridge is near, as well as another bridge and RR Bridge.
Matters ever get serious , good idea not to be around those areas. Police for both cities near respective DT areas and ....well when a tugboat had a problem on the river one day , all sorts of serious panic and gnashing of teeth. Homeland Security I am told got a little bit "concerned".
I assured everyone Big Brother Slick and his Holding Company had Cameras on the job - it was gonna be all-right.
That was the day my Deli meal was paid for and I was asked not to come back to a Deli in Argenta. Seems I riled up some Movers and Shakers.
That was my intent - I was bitching about the NO CCW in the areas and NLR parks.
*snaps fingers* I left all that literature in the joint in a rack next to "tourist guides" and "Apt/ Home Finding".
Then I made another drop off at another spot. NLR sub station had a unit follow me, but I hit the freeway and I know the backroads.
Not tested this, word is I am not invited to attend any All-Tell arena event either.
If you find yourself in River Market area and all hell breaks loose - run to Stephens Inc. Largest trading house off Wall Street. They have their own in-house Security , I mean well trained and equipped Security. Did I mentioned Well trained and seasoned Security?
I need a new place to stir up trouble...
Your obv't civil disobedient
