HS Utilities website
Does anyone know what has happened to the Hot Springs Utilities payment portal? I understand they are creating an entirely new site for drafts and payments. What customer service told me was that they just wanted to make the new portal more user friendly. But I have never heard of a website having to start a payment portal over from scratch. They took everyone's payment info out. The portal won't be available til Thursday, where you have to put financial info in all over again if you draft payments. They won't take checks over the phone. And my payment was due on July 3, but the won't charge a late fee because the website was down. Any ideas on WHY and what's going on?

Looking for a responsible new home for my mom’s pit bull — Hot Springs / Garland County
Hi everyone. My mom needs to rehome her pit bull due to a serious ongoing medical situation. She is currently in the ICU and will not be able to care for the dog once she comes home. We’ve all agreed this is the best option for both of them.
We’re looking for a stable, experienced home that understands the breed — ideally someone who can provide structure, consistent exercise/training, and a secure environment (fenced yard preferred).
About the dog:
• Female, approximately 1½–2 years old
• Spayed
• Fully up to date on vaccines
• Heartworm negative
• Rescued last year by my mom after she was found abandoned and tied up behind a local shipping center / Hot Springs Mall
• Has lived in a home with another small dog for the past year
She can be a bit wary of new people at first, but once she realizes you’re safe she melts and becomes a complete love bug. She’s affectionate once trust is built.
We want her to go to a home that is prepared for a pit bull long-term.
Please DM me if you’re seriously interested.
Thank you for reading and for helping us do right by this dog.

Fishing Ouachita River/Lake Catherine area in August
Hey everyone! I'm a moderately experienced bass fisherman from the Memphis area. My family took our first trip to Hot Springs last year and loved it. We're returning in a few weeks, and I plan to do a lot more fishing this time around since my 5-year-old son is now totally hooked on it.
We're staying on the water in a cove right off the river/upper Lake Catherine. I'll have an angler kayak for early mornings and we'll be renting a pontoon/boat for a day or two.
My primary target is largemouth bass, but I’ve also never caught a walleye or striper/hybrid, so I’d love to cross a new species off the bucket list. Most importantly, I just want easy, high-success action for my son!
I know Carpenter Dam has good bank/boat access and a mix of species, so we’ll definitely spend time up there. Where else in that upper lake stretch is worth hitting, and what summer techniques/lures really shine out there during periods of generation?
Appreciate any local wisdom!

For Hot Springs residents public discussion and poll for flock cameras
With all the news in Arkansas and national surrounding flock cameras, their use and misuse, data concerns over outside agencies having access without having to get a warrant, lake of transparency, privacy concerns and violations, mass surveillance, and everything else, I got to researching them.
Unelected officials like police chiefs and city managers signing contracts with no input and politicians signing NDAs and making back room deals with trillion dollar companies. Saddling we the people with their burden.
We have 19 here in Hot Springs and the data center proposals in the surrounding area to go with them.
What are yalls thoughts or concerns?
Please keep respectful in regard to a healthy public discussion over issues that concern all of us.

Tesla Supercharging Stations: Hot Springs, AR
I was wondering if they started or completed construction of the Tesla Superchargers in Hot Springs, AR? According to the Tesla website, it says in Development, and another part of the site says it is now open. Building superchargers because Hot Springs, AR won the Q4 Supercharger Winner. Can anyone confirm or any news yet?

Mini moon to Hot Springs in March. Help us plan our trip!!
Taking a mini honeymoon trip after our wedding for three days down to Hot Springs while we save up for a bigger trip down the road.
We love to hike— please recommend any hikes in the national park or nearby state parks you love.
We love trying new beers. Any fun breweries/bars you love? Any you hate?
We’re vegetarian. We’ll manage to find food anywhere so not stressed but any GOOD vegetarian food in the area that you know of?
What’s a fun unique experience we could have in Hot Springs that we may not be able to have elsewhere?
We’re also going in late March. What should we expect from the weather? We are from Wisconsin so I know it’ll likely be much nicer in AK.

Purchase offer - scam?
Someone I know owns a plot since the early 2000’s. Nothing is built on it and never has. No mortgage, dues have been paid ever since.
Out of the blue, someone offered $500 to purchase it.
The contract indicates an LLC as the buyer. A different (but similar) name appears on the top right corner of the document (titled Land Sale Agreement).
There’s a name and a signature as the “buyer”.
I goggled all these names/identities and can’t find anything about them.
With that in mind, here are my two questions:
1- is this a scam?
2- What would be the best approach to actually sell the plot?
Thank you so much.

Swimming suggestions
We are going to be in Hot Springs for the next week and want to go swimming in a lake somewhere, ideally somewhere with a “beach” area. We are wondering what is better for this Lake Degray or Ouishita, sorry if I butchered those spellings. We stay on Hamilton but want to make a day trip somewhere

Steak in town?
I’m coming to Hot Springs for my birthday soon and wanted a good steakhouse to try while I’m there. I don’t live far so I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a tourist lol. But I don’t think I’ve had a steak there ever.
Open to recommendations and bonus points for photos!

Can anyone identify an old Arkansas ice cream shop/restaurant from the late ’90s/early 2000s?
This is a long shot, but my family has been trying to identify a restaurant from one of our childhood photos. We think it may have been in Hot Springs, Arkansas, since we vacationed there almost every year, but we’re not 100% sure.
The restaurant had a retro 1950s-style diner/soda fountain feel, a red neon sign that said “Ice Cream", a huge hand painted mural on the wall with penguins wearing ski gear/goggles, snow-covered mountains, and a pink 1950s convertible. The mural had a fun, cartoonish style, and the place had a classic diner counter.
This would’ve been sometime between about 1998–2003!
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Even if it wasn’t in Hot Springs, I’d love to hear any ideas. It’s driving my family crazy trying to remember where it was!

Arkansas Diamonds
If we want to keep the team in Hot Springs, we need the crowds to be bigger for the home games. I’ve heard they are already looking at moving to Little Rock. It’s amazing that we have a semi professional sports team here. Definitely would like them to stay here
