When in Arkansas, one has to notice that President Clinton has been there. You can’t get far from Texarkana without passing through Hope, Arkansas. You might not see much of the town if you blink or stay on the freeway, but you’ll certainly see the sign that states “Hope, Arkansas: Birthplace of President Clinton”. The […]
