News Briefs
A new traffic light is coming to the intersection
of North Street and Scull Creek Trail.
Drivers on North Street will soon have to stop at a newly installed traffic light at the Scull Creek Trail crossing. Walkers, joggers and bicyclists will have to first stop and activate a push-button signal at the intersection. The new signal will be active beginning on Monday, June 11.
We snapped some photos of the new trail tunnel under Garland Avenue (Arkansas Highway 112). It looks pretty awesome.
Police arrested a Springdale man on capital murder charges for the 2006 strangling death of Nina Ingram.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think Georges is having Ben Miller Band sunday night
Yep, BMB at George’s. What is Lala land,
That was supposed to be a “?”
I was going to guess “!?”.
Sorry for the delay, Skalmt. Lalaland is a small venue behind the Art Experience next door to Brenda’s Bigger Burger on MLK.
Thank you to the Flyer for compiling and posting this every Friday. It is one of my favorite features of your website, Although I appreciate the other news items, the comment threads here are also more helpful than those in the prevailing climate on other Flyer posts.. Keep up the good work.
Me too. I love love love these roundups. Thanks Flyer!
There is a benefit concert for Pack Your Bags, a local nonprofit foundation that feeds those in need in our community, at Rogue on Sunday! Bands include Animal Noise, The Great Scotts & Damn Arkansan. More info can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/473879595961778/
