My answers

My answers will reveal my complete ignorance to much of the city goings-on.

1. What's happening to the old airport? , It will become another shopping mall.

2. Who's running the new airport? The city designate, yet to be appointed. But rest assured it will be another Tab ... [self-censored]... appointee.

3. What will replace the old blue building at the 'Y' in Downtown Conway? It really doesn't matter. Whatever it is, it will add to the already horrible traffic downtown, but nobody on the city council cares about that.

4. Are Red Lobster, Purple Cow and Macaroni Grill really coming to Conway? We can only hope.

5. What's the hold up on the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market construction on Prince Street? Walmart has their own time schedule, which does not necessarily correspond to the city's schedule or needs. They are, after all, Walmart.

6. Is it true that you've got to bag your own groceries now at the new Gucci Kroger in West Conway? Pretty much. The lack of staffing (remember all those jobs they were creating?) is appalling. However, you can find lots of folks throughout the store willing to give you a sample (market) of cheese, ham, flat iron steak and other tasty morsels. Yes, I'm still [filtered word].

7. Who started the baby daddy drama with new Sheriff Andy Shock last year? Ssshhhh. Please stop asking that question. Everyone with any authority to investigate that issue has stopped investigating long ago. No one is supposed to know the answer.

8. Will anyone really win a pair of the Country Outfitter's cowboy boots being shared on Facebook? Only if you are affiliated with Arkansas Women Bloggers (I am) and you are willing to hype and promote their product (with photos) and website (I wasn't, so I didn't win). Oh wait, that was another giveaway.

9. When will construction on I-40 between Conway and LR be completed? In about 10 years, the same amount of time it took for I-40 between I-30 and I-430 to be completed.

10. Who will play Christian Grey in the movie and will new Gatsby film live up to the hype? Movies never live up to the hype.

11. Who killed Larry Billings? Sadly, I don't think we'll ever know. Horrible for the family.

12. Can UCA stay out of the negative news this year? I think I just spit all over my computer screen.

13. Will Mike Anderson and Coach B be the be alls and end alls for the Razorbacks? Will post season action be in our future for basketball or football in 2014? I'd have to like and actually know something about Razorback football to answer that question. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could provide more insight.

I know much of this sounded pretty sarcastic. Sorry. I'm in a mood, and after I rethink my responses I'll probably delete it altogether.

1. What's happening to the old airport? , It will become another park.

2. Who's running the new airport? The city - designate, yet to be appointed. But rest assured it will be another Tab ... [self-censored]... appointee. Absolutly!!!

3. What will replace the old blue building at the 'Y' in Downtown Conway? I still vote for a beer garden

4. Are Red Lobster, Purple Cow and Macaroni Grill really coming to Conway? Who Cares. Terri you can whip up your own Purple Lobster Pasta that would be 5 X as good as anything they serve.

5. What's the hold up on the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market construction on Prince Street? They want to wiat until they get the new road completed so their construction tucks can trash it

6. Is it true that you've got to bag your own groceries now at the new Gucci Kroger in West Conway? Pretty much. Bag Em most of the time they try to herd you oaver to the self checkout and if you go late enought self-check is all that is open

7. Who started the baby daddy drama with new Sheriff Andy Shock last year? Some misguided politco

8. Will anyone really win a pair of the Country Outfitter's cowboy boots being shared on Facebook? Yes just not you or anyone you know

9. When will construction on I-40 between Conway and LR be completed? Never there has been one project after the other since 95 and no end in sight (remember they are looking at a Mayflower to Menifee Bypass)

10. Who will play Christian Grey in the movie and will new Gatsby film live up to the hype? So they are remaking the great Gatsby?

11. Who killed Larry Billings? If it wasn't over a land deal then it maybe be a long time finding out.

12. Can UCA stay out of the negative news this year? If History is any indicator the answer is NO! Not until the state stops paying people off with high paying jobs @ UCA.

13. Will Mike Anderson and Coach B be the be alls and end alls for the Razorbacks? Only time will tell but Mike is going in the right direction and after last year football can't help but improve.

some here

Old airport's falling in amongst the industrial park.

I shop at the W Kroger all the time, never ever have to bag; they always have plenty of people there and the service is actually pretty good

#6

#6 is true if you use self-check out, not true if you use the others. Never bagged my groceries at Kroger.

Kroger

I've been getting groceries almost exclusively from this Kroger since it expanded. The only issue I've ever had there with any of the employees was a deli worker who moved at the speed of cold of molasses and had to have everything repeated multiple times. Slightly annoying, but in the scheme of things not a big deal. Other than that, have had nothing but wonderful experiences, and we tend to go grocery shopping a couple times a week.

But I do understand the frustration of anyone who lives around there as far as traffic is concerned. I'm pretty strategic of how I get in and out of there, because I have to be.
