This post won't apply to everyone, but for those of you that stumbled upon this blog by searching for a retirement community in Hot Springs then you have come to the RIGHT place.
Hot Springs offers several wonderful facilities to help seniors retire the way they should. But ONE place in particular stands out to me.
Crown Trace Villa in Hot Springs, Arkansas is the best choice for you to place your loved one in. Crown Trace Villa is like a lot of facilities in that they provide housekeeping, wonderful meals, travel to and from doctors and other places...but the staff there is AMAZING! The CNA's, The RN's, the cooks, the kitchen staff, the on-site managers... everyone is SO great!!!
If you want to visit a place that stands out for their service, attitudes, and faith, then visit Crown Trace Villa today!

Look out for PEDESTRIANS!
I understand that its Arkansas law that pedestrians have the right of way... BUT... in Hot Springs it tends to depend on where you are in town.
If you are leaving Oaklawn... traffic will stop for you. If you are downtown walking--EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE WALK SIGNAL--you will get runover. Nobody stops for you.
I've lived here for 8 years and I will never understand it. But i think as a person who may potentially visit Hot Springs, Arkansas... you HAVE to be warned.

What to jam to...
Maybe this is not very important to the older people in the world (No offense), but for ME, I don't want to go anywhere that i haven't already figured out what the local radio station is. Even if you aren't tuning in to jam out, you at least want to know where to go find out local weather, road closings, wrecks, etc.
When I am not an aspiring writer, I work for a radio station. :) So yes, I am biast. But here is a lost of Hot Springs BIGGEST And AWESOME-EST stations.
US 97
BIG country! Number 1 station in the area. Always has been, always will be. Good blend of contemporary country with of course a few "flash backs." Weather updates every break by Alan Archer. (Listen closely, he talks fast and slurs a lot) Community calendar's at every other break SO... if you are visiting and want to know whats going on, this is the place to listen!
HOT 96.7
Hottest hits. TOP 40 station! All the new stuff, all the time! not as many weather updates.
ROCKET 101.9
Do you like classic rock? Then here ya go... weather updates periodically.
104.5 THE BULL
Classic country at its best :) Larry Mecom in the mornings. Lots of weather updates.
KZNG 1340AM
Talk radio. LOTS of info. Also lots of info about the Village.
KLAZ 105.9
I don't really know how to explain what music they play... sometimes its Top 40, sometimes its 2001 songs. So this ones tougher. So I will say a NICE blend of music from 1998-today. And don't forget the "Flashback Cafe". Every day at lunch flashing back to the oldies. News and weather not as many updates, but will hear it periodically.
AND... if you are planning a visit to the Spa City...go to http://www.myhotsprings.com/. GREAT website. You can listen live to US 97 and HOT 96 on this website, you can look at community events AND get great prices on some of Hot Springs COOLEST restaurants.

Cajun Boilers
Want great cajun food?! In Hot Springs your choice for that is CAJUN BOILERS! Located right off of the lake on Albert Pike. You can dine in, or if its nice out I would reccomend the patio. This is the place where you are treated with southern hospitality and served authentic, amazing cajun food.
Prices are going to be in the middle range. For a couple who orders drinks with the meal an average ticket will be around $40.00. Great specials if you eat before 5.
Come by land or lake... you'll be glad that you did!

Jason's
Looking for down home cooking? Wanting some food that is what you would EXPECT to get in Arkansas? Then go to Jason's. Jason's has been around forever. We eat there often... their shrimp specials on Wednesday nights are to die for! Their burgers are the best... and you are going to have a hard time finding a better steak.
Affordable pricing. A nice covered patio to eat on AND a closed in area with a fireplace for the cold winter nights. You will love the atmosphere, the service and no doubt the food. Give it a try if you are in Hot Springs. You'll be glad that you did!

Luxe images
When you chose to do a destination wedding OR just a wedding here locally, photographers are VERY important. You want someone that is AWESOME, but also AFFORDABLE. So what if I told you that I had someone that was absolutely PERFECT? Would you jump up and down? Ok...well start jumping.
LUXE IMAGES. They are perfect. They have taken the best pictures of my family and I. Affordable, easy to work with, flexible on times and days... all of the things that matter.
I take lots of pictures. I WANT lots of pictures... but I also can't spend a fortune. Michael and Lynsey will work with you and you can also TALK to them about what it is you want. If you don't want traditional wedding photos, they get that! Having dealt with LOTS of photographers before I know how important it is to be able to tell someone you want and don't want.
Call them. Check out their website. You will be SO glad that you did.
Call LUXE IMAGES. 501-609-5467 or go to http://luxeimages.org/
I will show you some of the work they did for us. And we were NOT super easy to deal with :)
