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.

Curfew
Technically Hot Springs does NOT have a curfew...but as a resident of this town I feel like it is my duty to warn all of the vacationers that make the journey to Hot Springs about where to be and when.
Downtown Hot Springs is the "Hot spot" so to speak. This is where vacationers spend their time. They go to the bath houses, walk down Bath House Row, take a stroll through Arlington Park... which is all good and great. Heck, even as someone who LIVES here I enjoy doing those things. But i know when to go home.
In Hot Springs, unfortunately, downtown is not the safest place to be. From Malvern and Grand on out 7 towards Hot Springs Village this is where vacationers and hang out, and also where crime takes place. You need to be OUT of downtown when it hits dark. Unless you are walking on the side of the street where all of the shops are, you don't need to be downtown after dark. On the OTHER side of the road, where the bath houses are, is NOT a place that you want to be once it is dark.
I don't have to tell you why, I just need you to trust me. Come and enjoy Hot Springs because this TRULY is a wonderful place to live AND vacation. But be smart, and trust me... go home for curfew...which in this town is after dark.

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!

Mid America
Needing something fun to do with the kiddos? I have the place for you. The Mid America Science Museum! Whether your kids are 2, or 12 this is a fun for all. Yes a LOT of the activities and exhibits are a tad on the "older kid" side, but my child is 5 and LOVES this place. And its actually a pretty cool place for me as an adult to hang out. You can go through the whole museum in 30 minutes, or you can take your time, try everything, learn some cool stuff and be in there for hours on end! There are 2 cool caves that anyone can fit through which makes it fun for all. Lots of water activities showing kids the scientific side of how things work! Very cool place, TWO thumbs up and i'd give it more if I had more hands.
It is a bit expensive so if this is a place you would visit more than once a year you should buy a family pass!
Here is the link to their website. PROMISE me you will give this place a shot!
