Clinton Presidential Library and Park

The Clinton Presidential Library and Park — America’s 12th Presidential Library is now officially open. Located on the banks of the Arkansas River in the River Market District of downtown Little Rock, the $160-million-dollar structure contains 20,000 square feet of library and museum space, including an authentic replica of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. Exhibits in the Clinton Library museum are designed by Ralph Appelbaum and Associates of New York. Among its numerous notable achievements, Appelbaum and Associates created the powerful exhibits at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. The Clinton Library contains the largest collection of presidential papers and artifacts in U.S. history.

The Clinton Presidential Library is situated in a 30-acre city park, which replaces an industrial site of old warehouses and vacant space. Also part of the Clinton Presidential Library and Park, the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service is located within the park in the renovated 1899 Choctaw Station. Additionally, future plans include the renovation of the abandoned Rock Island Railroad Bridge near the Clinton Library as a pedestrian crossing over the Arkansas River. The facility has exceeded 400,000 visitors in its first year of operation, well above the projected goal of 300,000.

CityBlogUSA Opens Arkansas Blogging Network

Phoenix, AZ, January 3, 2008. CityBlogUSA, a division of the e-Partner National Relocation and Brokerage Services Network announced that effective Thursday, January 3, 2008, it would begin to market the CityBlog Resident blogging network for Arkansas cities to real estate agents.

The Company launched the BETA version of CityBlogUSA in July and has been test marketing positions in selective markets in its 50-State, 25,000+ cities network to real estate agents on an exclusive basis.

Company Vice President, Robert Barringer said, “we created CityBlog with the idea that consumers want to blog about their favorite cities or hometown and to directly post information about lifestyles, real estate, jobs, health care, schools and even politics from an insider’s perspective.”

“CityBlog Arkansas allows residents, businesses and real estate industry professionals to open up the local information portals for those seeking to relocate and for those residents who want to post alternative information that the newspapers, TV and magazines aren’t reporting…after all, who knows more about a community than the people who live there?”, said Barringer.

Agents can “Stake a Claim” to their city as its “Real Estate and Relocation Specialist” and hold that position exclusively, interact by posting blogs, talk about real estate and any other local issues they would like to include in the blog.

Barringer said, “The most powerful thing about CityBlog is that any resident can become an author…we are just setting up a network and trying to sell ad space…we believe in the consumer-centricity of the economy, especially when it comes to real estate and local lifestyles.”

People can blog Little Rock, Jonesboro, Fort Smith, Springdale, Hot Springs, and any other city and have the same blogging experience. You can jump to any Arkansas city and be blogging in minutes by going to www.ArkansasBlogPage.com, this very site.
