won't call it my hometown

it isn't

it is where i happen to live right now

don't know if i even have a home town but that's a long story and you want pictures not words:


Me at the closest lock and dam (13 but formally known as Tremble Lock and Dam on the Arkansas River)


SPK jr at the same place... it was cold and windy that day...


standing in my laundry room in my town...:rofl:

SPK dog in the snow in my town

SPK jr looking off to our neighbor's house


so sit down have a cup of coffee (cough-ee not caff-ee) with me in my town, in my office... :D

okay, I don't have a lot of personal pictures of my town...


a nearby mountain... White Rock Mountain


looking back to Fort Smith from Van Buren across the river


outside the old courthouse

Also Fort Smith was selected for the site of the national US Marshall's Museum due to it's historical relevance in the area of US Marshall's. It was the last outpost before Indian Territory and outlaws would go hide in Indian territory and the Marshall's would go and find them, not always surviving that journey.

Thats all for now lost

thanks for the chance to showcase my town

:hi:

:hug:

Fort Smith looks wonderful....
really beautiful
your pictures are great!!!!

This city has seen better days. Unfortunately I didn't have a digital camera then. Hopefully when things get better (and they will) in Detroit I'll still have my camera and will post some much needed updates.

I am sorry about Detroit
I think it could be an awesome place to visit


my stbx has been there at the convention center.....
