Hot Springs
Hot Springs, Arkansas has a colorful past. Nicknamed "The Spa City," it’s history includes an unusual mix of gamblers, gangsters and the health conscious. Discover some of the city’s attractions in this broadcast of The P. Allen Smith Show.
In the South we refer to a not so reputable past as "colorful." As in, "That Wilbur. He's got a colorful past." One of Arkansas's most "colorful" cities is Hot Springs and we Arkansans treasure it. I think you will too, which is why today's broadcast is all about "The Spa City" as we call it. Art, food, horse racing, boating and hot spring spas are just a few of the attractions. I’ll talk with four people about the unique history of the city and some of the fun activities that draw visitors.
Show Topics:
Guests:
- Liz Robbins, Garland County Historical Society
- Ellen McCabe, Culinary District
- Paula Wallace, Garvin Woodland Gardens
- Taylor Cranor, Mountain Valley Spring Water

As a resident of Hot Springs and a member of our beloved Garvan Gardens, I enjoyed listening to this show which showcases our local history. I enjoy taking long walks at GWG at all times of the year and am anxiously awaiting completion of the rose garden. I am told that this is your project and that you have halted all work until all of the money is acquired to complete it, even though much of the money is already available. I don’t understand why they cannot go ahead with the work that could be done with what they have and be closer for completion when the rest is acquired. It will then take much longer and the costs will have gone up. Please reconsider so the visitors can see at least some progress on this exciting project! Thank you for being a part of it. i enjoy your work.
She has a point Allen.
You could finish the basic ground prep. and that will keep people from having accidents and being hurt and you being sued.
Once all basic ground prep are finished, then you can complete
each section going into the front entrance and working your way
to the back of the project. After you have made it to the back you can take the project back towards the front.
Dont let the project get scattered and all should work out fine.
