Hello Fishcrow! Hello, Fishcrow, I'm skyfox12, and I just joined on here about a week back. From Ft. Smith? From the summers of 1982-1987 my father would drive up to Illinois to take my brother and I down to stay with him and his third wife in Booneville, Arkansas, about 45 min to an hour east of Ft. Smith. About 3-4 times a month he would take us to Ft. Smith to either the Central Mall or Phoenix mall (which is for all intents and purposes now defunct save for a bank and a hair salon), and then take us somewhere to eat. Ever made it to Booneville by chance? Not a whole lot there admitedly but have fond memories of it. I have one stepsister and an aunt that remain there now as my father and has passed on about a year and 2 months ago and stepmother 4 years ago. Ft. Smith is a neat town although its no Chicago for sure. I live 12 miles from Macomb IL where WIU is. By chance have you heard of it?
