      <![CDATA[Old Hickory Tavern was barely there when it was there.  You could look outside thru the stone walls as the mortar was mostly a suggestion.  It's demolition for the bank branch probably took about an hour.  No remnant of it left without major digging by an archaeologist.  It was probably gone by 1980.  Pecks--88.

      <![CDATA[Nope, eLwood, each commissioner has two districts.  Our county is the tail end of a district represented (and I used that word with loosely, of course) by your man in Rogers.   He made one visit to our county last year -at least that we know about--but the county judge nor the five mayors of the county knew nothing  about the visit. But we are pleased to see that section of Arkansas that people are fleeing to be able to escape on super dooper four lane highways, wide bridges and lots of paint and reflectors.

      <![CDATA[Just shy of Foxcroft turn off sounds like Cash McCools.  Which is now Crazees I believe.<br>
<br>
It is a smoker bar so I don't go in there. <br>
<br>
Was it Old Hickorys before?  Or was that elsewhere?<br>
<br>
Across from Watergate is a bank, bathroom design shop and Purple Cow.  <br>
<br>
I'm 53 but don't have any memories of what was there before.  Obviously bank and Purple Cow are recent but I still can't picture before that.<br>
<br>
Someone help an old guy out here.

      <![CDATA[Correcto..shoulda disqualified Max from the competion.He knows everything. <br>
 Across from what is now the Watergate Apts. Your Ten Points can be claimed off a buck roaming in Grant County somewhere between Leola and Grapevine. <br>
I once saw these 2 old ladies in the Camelot Hotel one morning, handling registration for some conference.  They had raspy voices and seemed out of place, yet I knew them.  Then I asked one of them where I knew her from.....she was one of the waitresses at Pecks!  It was like seeing your 3rd grade teacher at the grocery store--they werent supposed to exist outside their assigned realm.

      <![CDATA[That is not a joke. His Peck's Southeast was featured in a local magazine a few years ago but I couldn't lay my hands on copies of the photos. Old Hickory was just shy of the Foxcroft turnoff on the north side of Cantrell, was it not? Seems like my last beer there was about 1973.
