New Italian Restaurant Opening in Shannon Hills
I was asked the question a week ago and I’m just now getting around to answering, but anyone who lives in the Shannon Hills area knows that there has been a sign up for a few months that says Sabrano’s Italian Restaurant is coming soon. MySaline recently found out that “soon” is June 1st. That’s […]
SUV Drives Into Office of Bryant Business Wednesday
You may know of The Gann Agency on North Prickett Road in Bryant. Nick Gann, the owner, sent MySaline.com photographic proof today that they are indeed the first insurance agency in the whole county to have a drive-thru window. I don’t know how it happened and neither do they, but all in a flash on […]
Popeye’s Chicken Coming to Bryant
I heard some time ago that Popeye’s was moving into the location where Backyard Burgers is now. I was told it would happen in November of last year. But nothing happened.

A Flat Tire, Protesters, Waffling House, Early Voting, Self-Serving Assessor & That New Italian Place
I posted what I could of my morning news before I had to tend to some pressing errands “in town.” You may recall that I used to live “in town,” but now I live on what I’ll call the “outskirts.” The “sticks.” The “country.” This means if I have to do anything that involves me […]

Businesses Shuffling Around on Military in Benton – Webb’s, KFC & CVS
Somebody just reminded me that I took pictures this weekend of the cute Victorian building that houses Webb’s House of Flowers being dismantled by Doyle Webb himself and family.
