    'Best of' Faulkner County
    06/30/2009 - 8:36am

    Published in the Sun., June 28 Log Cabin Democrat was its annual readers' choice awards for the 'Best of Faulkner'. Over 22,000 votes were cast in dozens of categories.
    Some winners were no surprise...best new car dealer: Smith Ford. Best heating and cooling service: Freyaldenhoven.
    But some responses cause controversy and are just incorrect. For example, Log Cabin readers voted Sports Clips as the winner for the best barbershop. Come to find out, Sports Clips isn't really a barber shop. Who knew? The readers chose their winner, but is the newspaper obligated to run it, regardless of whether or not it actually 'fits' into a category?

    Latest housing report could indicate better days
    04/14/2009 - 4:16pm

    The latest report from the Arkansas Realtors Association might indicate the beginnings of a turnaround, according to Ethan Nobles, director of media relations for the ARA.
    Nobles was hopeful that an increase in sales and prices in February might precede similar news in March. Although comparing month-to-month data is "not the best gauge," he said, "it shows a bit of improvement, at least."
    The following are the data that indicates the possible improvement in market conditions. Figures were provided by the Arkansas Realtors Association:
    Statewide averages — highest average prices for the month
    December
    2008 2007 pct change
    $139,057 $152,981 -9.10
    January
    2009 2008 pct change
    $134,332 $146,468 -8.29
    February
    2009 2008 pct change
    $141,349 $146,487 -3.51
