[edit] Midnight Madness?
I can't find any indication that there has been a Midnight Madness in Hot Springs since 2007. If it's been discontinued, move to strike that section. Kolanifv (talk) 01:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Cops/Skateboarder Incident No Longer Relevant/Topical
In light of the no contest/guilty pleads from the skateboarders associated with the Cops/Skateboarder incident, I think it should probably be struck, since the argument for the inclusion was the amount of hits on a youtube video - that and the fact that it's minor two year old news in a wiki article. It's not about civil liberties, human rights, justice or free speech anymore, it's about people disobeying city laws and admitting that they did. They're not Robin Hood on a skateboard.

Ehh, it's interesting based on the city's past of being somewhat corrupt, habits die hard —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.39.17 (talk) 07:06, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
I notice the Cops/Skateboarder section is back, although it's been deleted in the past. Reasoning? Kolanifv (talk) 18:24, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Cops/Skateboarder Incident
Most of us have heard of this incident of police brutality, or at least excessive force. Yet it is not mentioned in the article, and when placed in, is removed. For the uninformed, a police officer "aggresivelyy arrested" several skateboarders, in a way consisting of choking, and tackling. Skrayl (talk) 03:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Video
I think it is important that something about the recent video posted on YouTube makes it into this article about Hot Springs, Arkansas. I, along with thousands of others, I'm sure, had never even heard of Hot Springs until this happened. Furthermore, it has now been viewed by more people than the entire population of Hot Springs. My addition may not be in perfectly proper format, but please don't erase it - just fix it. This is, in fact, a very important issue to many people not just in America but all over the world who care about civil liberties, human rights, and justice.
In fact, I just checked the view count of that video and it's over 1.4 million! That's about forty times the entire population of Hot Springs.
I agree. I'm putting it in - skrayl
Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.
I found no mention of Joshua Fickle anywhere online. Is he supposed to be famous? I don't know, but I am removing the line that says Hot Springs is the birthplace of Joshua Fickle.
[edit] Reginald Muldrew
I find no mention of Reginald Muldrew living in Hot Springs ever. From all the reading I've done I don't know where he is. Last I read he was incarcerated in Indiana though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.188.190.1 (talk) 15:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Deleting that, since I can't find anyone in local law enforcement that knows of him living here, and the ACIC search comes back invalid on him. If someone can find proof that he is here, feel free to readd, but GCSO has no record of him.
[edit] Vapors history
There is assorted city history in the Out of the Vapors (pdf) book. Someone who knows what has been important to the city might want to look at it and its references. -- SEWilco (talk) 05:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Higher Education
Not sure that Champion Baptist College should be listed under this section, on review of the College's website, it's fairly obvious that it's not a legit college, more a training institution for churches and church administration. Being in this section makes it look like it's on par with legit church associated schools like Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia. Went ahead and gave Champion their own subheading under other education and moved Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences out of the higher ed section since it's actually a high school and has it's own entry up the page a bit.

[edit] I live here
hey, i live here in Hot Springs, and and no mention of gangs exists on this page. we have several gangs, but i cannot mention them all. also, my mother Works at Oaklawn, the horse races, and they are not gambling, they are playing, "games of chance" yeah whatever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.255.75.107 (talk) 22:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Baseball
Hot Springs, Ark. was the spring training site for 3 major league teams from the 1920's to early 50's: the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns before they relocated to Baltimore as the Baltimore Orioles, and St. Louis Cardinals. The mild climate in March is part of the health-conscious appeal to Hot Springs in the early 20th century, including a few health clinics associated with spas and health camps. Hot Springs can have a mention of its' baseball history. 71.102.32.144 (talk) 21:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)+
[edit] FDR?
No mention is made of FDR retreating here while president. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.117.233 (talk) 19:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] United Southern Artists
United Southern Artists was a record label based in Hot Springs in the early 1960s. Does anybody know what happened to the company? The yodeling cowboy (talk) 18:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
