Ahead on this edition of Ozarks at Large, the types of food establishments--restaurants, convenience stores, grocers, fast food businesses--that surround a school have an impact on childhood obesity. We speak to two U of A System Division of Agriculture researchers who make that claim. Plus, Habitat for Humanity Washington County completes its 50th home, Roby Brock has his Talk Business Arkansas update, Becca Martin Brown tells us What's Up, and more.
Becca says February may be a short month, but it is stuffed with theater, music and toy trains.
We continue our series on alternative versions of Mount Rushmore with Hoyt Purvis, a journalism professor at the University of Arkansas. He selects four sports figures worthy of a place of honor.
The Texas League champs will hold a job fair tomorrow.
Julio Iglesias Jr., Samuel Colt and more in our history capsule for February 25.
