📰 In the news
Locals’ favorite hidden gem: Somewhere In Time Antique Mall in Rogers is a trove of rare finds, with organized aisles, friendly greetings, and clear prices, a short trip from Springdale for vintage lovers — read the full story.
Noteworthy collaboration revealed: Mumford & Sons announced the album Prizefishly and a tour stop at the Walmart AMP in Rogers on June 9. Springdale fans can look forward to a night close to home — get on-sale time and more.
Upgrades to safety and utilities: Rogers Mayor Greg Hines delivered the 2026 State of the City, spotlighting a Real Time Information Center, Fire Station 4 construction, 36-inch water line through west Rogers, and housing plans — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Stage night, sorted: Arts One Presents keeps Springdale’s theater scene buzzing with community-made musicals and plays, from The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music to this summer’s Anastasia. It’s a hometown night that feels truly local, with big-hearted productions and familiar faces.
Chili dog comfort, unlocked: Springdale standby Patrick’s Burgers turns a no-frills burger run into a “maybe I also need a footlong chili dog” moment. Old-school, locally run, and reliably quick, it delivers the kind of satisfying bite that saves weeknights when cooking feels wildly optimistic.
Bookish homeschool haven: First Homeschool Bookstore is a tidy trove of new and used curriculum, classic lit, workbooks, and hands-on kits, with a small classroom for meetups. Perfect for midyear refreshes or kiddo rabbit holes (looking at you, dinosaurs), where the shelves practically handle the lesson planning.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →

🎭 Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits @ The Medium, A Place to Create | Friday (3/13) at 7:00 PM – Skip the red-eye to NYC and catch Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits, a gleeful roast of the Great White Way, and cheaper than Midtown parking.

📻 Lux Radio Theater’s “Captain Blood” @ Immanuel Baptist Church | Tuesday (3/17) at 7:00 PM – Trade Netflix for some swashbuckling as Northwest Arkansas Audio Theater spins Lux Radio Theater’s Captain Blood, old-time radio thrills, cinematic sound, and pirate romance, minus the seasickness. Close your eyes, sail away, and feel smug you supported local. $10 adults, $5 students, at the door.
😂 The Last Laugh @ The Grove Comedy Club (Lowell) | Thursday (3/19) at 7:00 PM – Finally, a night out that feeds your soul and your face. Erica Rhodes, fresh off America’s Got Talent, brings sharp, human comedy, and your ticket buys dinner, the show, and support for the Arkansas Crisis Center and the 988 Lifeline, which beats another aimless scroll.
