Fort Smith news

Posted By Max Brantley on Sun, Jul 23, 2006 at 7:22 AM

A report from our Fort Smith blogging bureau says that U.S. Rep. John Boozman will snare a little election-year attention tomorrow with announcement of potential good news for the city: He will announce at UA-FS that the city is one of two finalists for the location of a U.S. Marshals Museum. It could be a 40,000-square-foot building with an Imax theater and restaurant overlooking the Arkansas River, our correspondent reports.
