New Elementary School in our old neighborhood.

Well, I've told you all the family (with the exception of Uncle Frank's, and Aunt Margaret's) have left our old homesteads on Taylor Loop. Now they are going to build a new public elementary school on the site. Here is the details on a meeting coming up soon:

Meeting To Discuss Elementary School Project In West Little Rock

The Little Rock School District will conduct an informal neighborhood meeting to discuss the current status and strategic planning for the proposed new elementary school in west Little Rock. That school will be built on the southwest corner of Cantrell Road & West Taylor Loop Road.

The off-site roadway and utility adjustment plans are nearing completion, with construction of that portion of work soon to follow.

The Little Rock School District will make the area residents aware of the anticipated construction schedules, as well as, how traffic will be addressed during construction.

Representatives of the Little Rock School District and Mehlburger Brawley, the consulting engineers, will be on hand to make the presentation. In addition, representatives from the City of Little Rock will attend. A question and answer session will follow.

The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. tonight at the Thompson Library on Rahling Circle.

Wouldn't it be cool, and appropriate, to name the new school: Bisbee Elementary, or the Lessie L. Bisbee Elementary School.

Especially since so many Bisbee children were raised right there on that site - She actually watched everyone of us as we grew up. She gave just about all of us a pair of stripe-ped stockings on more than one occasion. I think it would be very fitting to have that happen.

Oh, and one more thing....their mascot should be a Chihuahua.

Maybe they should have negotiated that in the contracts when the property was sold.
