I got lost one day and found a ballpark on the edge of town, south of New Old Fire Truck
the airfield. I guess I live in a newer part of Benton, and the

This bridge was here and now it's gone. What they did with it I don't
know. What they're doing there now probably has something to do
with people clamoring to move out of Little Rock and into the
smaller, tamer surrounding cities. But where'd the bridge go? Why
was it there anyway, since it was disconnected from anything that
needed to be crossed? Anyhow, it's not even in Benton, but it's
dangerously close - on Boone Road, east of Alcoa/west of Reynolds.

Scary House

This one's on Highway 5 closer to Topps Shoes (or however many "p's"
there are in it). It's really haunted housey. The wood is worn and
faded, the windows are crooked and there are cinder blocks under the
porch. There are a couple of outbuildings too, and there's always an
80s model blue (Ford I think) truck parked outside. It reminds me of
an early Happy Days episode where Richie and the guys decided to
have a Halloween party in an old deserted house. Ooouuoough!

Sue's

Jim said he went in this place and somebody was talking and talking.
They had a weird nasally voice, he told me. Eventually he figured out
it was a parrot in the back. East Street.

It must have been a little too eMazing, since it went out of business
about a month after it started. I do wonder what kind of response
they had. Benton's just not that savvy yet. If they were, they'd do
their own E-baying.

Alcoa and Highway 5. I don't know who used to live here, or who owns
it now, but I you look at a place like this and wonder how it got that
way. Oh well, it'll be some kind of retail before you know it, since it's
sitting on a good parcel of land at a busy intersection. Just no more
banks - please, no more banks. Or storage units! Enough!

What exactly do I need to be aware of here, since the church gets the
same warning sign on level with the fire department? Let's try to
make a comparison, shall we? Now the fire dept. has big trucks
rushing out to an emergency. The church has... I dunno, people
rushing in their cars to Brown's Country Buffet?

Airlane Drive. Watts Airstrip.

I like that Benton has little airplanes flying around. I
might fly one someday. Of course, I'll get permission.
