Shortcuts are hand-picked bits of news, commentary and info from around the city, the region and even from beyond the state line.
Here are today’s Shortcuts:
LOCAL
No more free NWAnews.com
Don’t expect any more links to the Northwest Arkansas Times’ stories here on Shortcuts come August 5th. Apparently the internets, including that Google thing and those silly Facebook links and Twitter-tweeters are just a fad. If a story is written but no one is there to read it, is it really news?
Winning!
I once won a coloring contest at Jose’s when I was in the third grade. I drew a scuba diver. The Morning News won something last week, too. Winning is awesome.

Anne Pressly’s house demolished
The house in Little Rock where a former KATV reporter was murdered last fall was torn down this morning. The property owners plan to rebuild on the lot.
Sorry, South Carolina. Sorta.
So far, Arkansas’ Lottery Director and a VP have both been snagged from South Carolina and it looks like a third is on the way.

Kids these days
Apparently, kids are different from adults when it comes to media. Who knew?
