Grandma's House

Those of you old enough to remember a comic strip called L'il Abner, recall it was set in a place called Dogpatch. There used to be an amusement park in my ancestral home of Newton County, Arkansas called Dogpatch USA, based on that comic strip. It closed down several years ago, but now a man is trying to raise funding to reopen it and restore it to its old glory. He's also planning to add more rides and an indoor water park. The county commission has agreed to the zoning aspect of it. This could be great for that county. The amusement park employed a lot of people in its prime.
