If you want to send a mailing address, I can send you a relocation guide. Just do your homework. Visiting here is a lot different than actually living here. Tourism is our only industry. Any available jobs in Eureka Springs would be within the service field.

Silly Chilli is located on upper Spring Street between Wild Blue Yonder and 86 Spring Gallery. -K

You might try Singleton House. -K

You need to talk to Eric Young, our Special Events Director. His office is located in the Auditorium. 479-253-2586. -K

No sorry, that event happens the 2nd weekend of October. There is also the Spring sale which is always in April. -K

One hour. -K

Yes. -K

The Eureka Springs Historical Society is conducting "Tales from the Silent City" in the Eureka Springs Cemetary. But, this coming weekend is the last one for that. The Crescent Hotel tour is a pretty good one. There is no one that does this "privately." -K

I'm so sorry for your loss. You might consider Historic Cottages at Lake Lucerne. -K

Rider's Rest Motel. 479-253-9815. -K

Eureka Sweets. Wal Mart. SunFest Market. -K

I'm sorry, we do not have a "central" location for gift baskets. I would suggest candy from Two Dumb Dames, a couple's spa package from one of our facilities or something like that. Sorry. -K

Yes they are!

The Basin Park Hotel, the New Orleans Hotel or the Grand Central Hotel. -K

That's the Razorback Gift Shop. (I love that shop. Anytime I need a gift, I know I'll find it there!) Contact the owners, Bonnie and Rex Gustin at (479) 253-8294 -K

The Crystal Dining Room in the Crescent Hotel, the Grand Taverne in the Grand Central Hotel, Rogue's Manor, Forest Hill, the Gazebo Restaurant in Best Western Eureka Inn and Myrtie Mae's in Best Western Inn of the Ozarks will all offer Thanksgiving buffets. Rogue's Manor and Grand Taverne will have a traditional meal with table service. All will require reservations. -K

You might want to try Quicksilver, Zark's and Delphia Dreams. Actually any gallery is worth a try. Also Eureka Thyme. -K

Historic Cottages at Lake Lucerne. Dogwood Cottages, Treehouse Cottages...all cabin resorts are very nice. It just depends on exactly what you are looking for and the amenities you desire. -K

Yes. -K

They are wonderful. -K

The two highways in and out of Eureka Springs are scenic highways. 23 runs north and south, 62, east and west. And yes, there are maps. "Let's Ride" is put out by the state of Arkansas and available at the Chamber of Commerce. -K

There are several locations that offer this service. All are listed at www.eurekasprings.com/alternative. -K

Heartstone Inn and Singleton House. Have you talked to the innkeepers directly or just looked at websites? Sometimes they will have something not listed on their pages. -K

All lodging properties are on the trolley route. Or less than a block away. Any hotel or motel would offer a double queen room. -K

"Predudice" how? -K

Try Island Motel and Resort, Island Rentals and/or Holiday Island Vacation Rentals. All of these offer condos. -K

A Saturday night only, especially in October is very difficult, I agree. Have you checked with any motels? Speciality lodging is next to impossible. Here are some suggestions... Bavarian Inn Brackenridge Lodge Lookout Lodge Swiss Village Inn Thurman's Lodge Good luck -K

I would prefer an independant therapist such as Healing Benefits or Eureka Massage. -K

Have you looked at 66 Center Street? The Peabody House, Historic Cottages at Lake Lucerne? All Seasons Inn? Singleton House? All of these cottages can accommodate all of you. -K

"Tourism" is our only industry. Any jobs (if available) are in the service sector. -K

Just take hwy 62 east to Harrison (about an hour) Then 65 south for about 30 minutes, and you're there! -K

Heartstone Inn accepts children. -K

Yes. Bars all over town will be having parties. -K

Harts grocery store is up on Van Buren St. Anyone will be able to tell you how to get there...it's the only one in town. Several restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving Day... The Gazebo in Best Western Eureka Inn Myrtie Mae's in Best Western Inn of the Ozarks Forest Hill Restaurant Rogue's Manor Grand Taverne The Crystal Dining Room in the Crescent Hotel. All are very good. -Will have special buffet service and, will require reservations. -K

Chelsea's and the Lumberyard do offer food late. So does the Rowdy Beaver. The Play will be over around 10:00. The weekend you are here is a very busy one. The War Eagle Crafts Fair takes place at that time. Finding a NON-two night minimum will be challanging. Have you tried the Basin Park Hotel? All Seasons Inn? -K

The Mayor's new place Casa Colina. It's where Jim and Brent's Bistro used to be, halfway down Planner Hill on the left. Rockin' Pig Saloon in Gaskins Switch is good too, for a casual meal. -K

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we do not have any ballroom dancing options. -K

The Palace Hotel is one of the best in town. What would you like to know about it? -K

The most romantic hotel to me is the Grand Central Hotel. But you may also want to consider Treehouse Cottages and The Benton Place. -K

Anytime during the last two weeks of October and the first week of November. -K

All B&Bs serve breakfast, but that is the only meal. Properties that welcome children include Heartstone Inn, All Seasons Inn, Singleton House and Bridgeford House. You should try to visit Turpentine Creek. www.turpentinecreek.org There are also horse-drawn carrige rides and horseback riding available. A canoe float would be fun, but it might be too chilly in October. There will be free things going on in Basin Spring Park and of course, the trolley...kids love the trolley! -K

It didn't come from Romancing the Stone? It sure sounds like the fountains they carry. I'll have to look around to find another location for this product. I'll be back... -K

No sorry, there is no Bingo here. -K

This will take a little research. I'll be back... -K

Maybe a little bit. The "peak" usually occurs during the last two weeks of October and the first week of November. -K

I believe you are referring to the Martz house on highway 62 west. That is now a private residence and not available to the public. -K

Check with Pine Top Lodge or Edelweiss Inn. -K

Probably around the last two weeks of October thru the first week of November. -K

Nice days, cool nights, just like usual. Pack a sweater or light jacket to be on the safe side. -K

Music all over the place on Sunday for sure. Live music during the week is a little less "active," but you'll find some. -K

I'm sorry, I have no idea who that could have been. Only if photographers go thru the city directly when shooting promos do we know who they are. I am not familiar with ridepictures.net. -K

No I'm sorry, not that I know of. -K

Gosh, there are several... Grand Central Hotel, The Benton Place, 66 Center Street, All Seasons Inn, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Belladonna, Select a couple from this list and write me back if you still have questios. -K

Not exactly a view included, but the Grand Taverne and DeVito's are tops. Neither offer a patio. Also consider Gaskin's Cabin, but no patio. The Horizon is on Beaver Lake, off the beaten path and a great sunset view of the lake, but I've not been there in a while so I can't comment on the food. The view is there but again, no outdoor dining. For casual dining, Eureka Grill downtown has a patio and is a great place to people watch. I hope this helps. -K

Here are a few suggestions... Cottages at Lake Lucerne Beaver Lakeside Cabins Can-U-Canoe Cabins -K

I do not know of a place where he would not have to spend the night. Can you not leave him in your room? -K

There are several events going on that weekend. They are all listed on the calendar. Most bars do have live entertainment on the weekends. -K

Everything is open by 10AM. Most merchants take their "day off" on Tuesday or Wednesday but at no time is "everything shut down." -K

If you are looking for just a motel, there are several affordable ones. Pine Top Lodge, Edelweiss Inn, Alpine Lodge, just to name a few. All are listed here, www.eurekasprings.com/lodging/motels -K

Have you considered any of these... The Belladonna Elk Street Cottage Eureka Springs Treehouses Susie's Bodacious Bungalow Texaco Bungalow The Woods Resort/Grand Treehouses Any of these would fit into your requests. -K

There is a theatre in Berryville, which is about 10-15 miles east of us. No, there isn't one in Eureka Springs. -K

Horseback riding is available at; Steve's Stables at Pond Mountain Lodge, Red Bud Stables at Red Bud Valley, Dinnerbell Guest Ranch, Bear Mountain Stables at Bear Mountain Lodge and Hidden Valley Guest Ranch. You will need to contact the business of your choice directly regarding times and prices. -K

Do you want the therapist to come to your place of lodging, or do you want to go to him/her? -K

Actually, I recommend any of them. There are three properties that offer treehouse-style accommodations... Oak Crest Cottages and Treehouses, Treehouse Cottages and the Woods Resort and Treehouse Cottages. They are all wonderful and the photos provided do not give them justice. -K

Yes, carriage service is available. There is a fireplace in the lobby at the Crescent Hotel and at Gaskins Cabin and Cafe Amore Restaurants. -K

some 6, some 7, some 8 and later. -K

There are several... Edelweiss Inn, Wagner Inn, Candlewick Inn, Thurman's Lodge are all well maintained lodging properties, convenient to everything, affordable and biker friendly. -K

The Lovin' Oven Bakeria is located in The Quarter, next door to Hart's grocery store. They have bakery treats. The Road House has one of the best breakfasts in town. Basic eggs, hashbrowns, meat... The Oasis and Mud Street Cafe offer unique menus also. -K

As usual, I'm sure there will be parties at bars and clubs all over town. At this point, I have not heard about anything more formal than that. -K

The Doggy Shop number is 479-253-9115 (Good Shepherd Humane Society Thriftshop) And, the hospital (The Puple House Thrift Shop) is 479-253-2032. -K

Robin "Sampley," no. Robin "Lumley," yes. -K

The only restaurant that delivers at night is Chelsea's Cafe. They have the best pizza around. -K

There are several chapels. Just look on the wedding pages. Jann Ortiz at All About Love can do the ceremony for you. -K

I don't know about reserving a table. You'll have to check about that at whichever bar you choose. They all have televisions. The Lumberyard Bar and Grill, Shawbee's Big Dawg Saloon, the Basin Park Hotel, Dr. Baker's Lounge at the Crescent. You'll have no trouble finding a place. -K

We have liquor stores, yes. Sunfest Market at Holiday Island sells beer, but not liquor. Hart's grocery store in Eureka Springs does not sell beer. -K

Most bars offer live music every Friday and Saturday night. When you get to town, pick up a copy of The Citizen newspaper. The schedule will be listed in there. -K

No. -K

Any B&B will be decked out. Select a few that interest you and write back if you still have questions. www.eurekasprings.com/lodging/bb -K

There's a bridge at Lake Lucerne. -K

There's lots to do. When are you coming and what do you like? -K

Bentonville is about an hour and a half from us. Trolley info is here www.eurekatrolley.org This time of year, parking should not be a problem. Attractions are listed here www.eurekasprings.com/attractions -K

There are several cabin resorts by the lake. Since I'm only guessing, by your description, I would say...Spider Creek Resort? www.spidercreek.com Let me know if this isn't it and I'll keep looking. -K

The older hotels will be in the 80-350 per night range. The Grand Central, the New Orleans, the Basin Park and the Palace are all right downtown. The Crescent is the big one that overlooks the entire town. I would suggest a cottage. You would all be under one roof and could split the nightly rate. There are some great ones in the historic district that would allow you to walk wherever you wanted to go. -K

No, not at the courthouse. You will need to have a wedding services provider. www.eurekasprings.com/romance -K

Turpentine Creek is open. Of course the cave tours are still available. Some restaurants will be closed, but not all, the same with shopping. Massage and spa treatments will be available as well. -K

The average price with any therapist is around $40-$50. The best value for a complete spa experience is The Works at the Palace Hotel and Bath House. www.palacehotelbathhouse.com -K

Actually, the "sale barn" is in Green Forest, the other side of Berryville. I don't know the name of the restaurant, but the auction is North Arkansas Livestock Auction. 304 W. Main, Green Forest, AR 72638 870-438-6915. -K

Yes, there will. -K

Use the "refine your search" feature at the top right of the lodging page. Pick the amenities you are looking for. Select a few properties that interest you and let me know if you have any specific questions. What is "best" for me may not be "best" for you. -K

Yes, but this coming weekend is the last time for the season. www.esnarailway.com -K

Gaskins Cabin is still here. They are listed on our restaurant page. -K

I have never seen one. But I'll check around for you. -K

It's suppose to get cold this weekend. The Joy Motel is one of the very first lodging properties built here. It is very nostalgic. I have never received any complaints about it. -K

Every bar in town has at least one television. The Lumberyard has about a dozen, the Billiards Room at the Basin Park Hotel has a couple. Shawbee's has 2 or 3. On and on. I don't think you'll have a problem finding your game. -K

That's the Razorback Gift Shop. 479-253-8294. -K

Yes and yes! -K

Myrtie Maes in the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks, Pancakes Family Restaurant, The Gazebo, Mud Street Cafe all have great breakfast. On Sunday, Forest Hill and the Crescent Hotel have execellent brunch buffets and The Oasis have great non-traditional breakfast, but they don't open until 10. -K

I can recommend several places. Use the "refine your search" feature at the top right of the lodging page. Select all the specific amenities you are looking for. When you see which properties offer what you want, write me back with any specific questions. -K

Other than Pizza Hut, Subway and McDonalds, our restaurants are all chef-owned. There aren't any I would not recommed. Where to shop? EVERYWHERE! -K

Are you thinking of Rock Cottage Gardens, across from the hospital? www.rockcottagegardens.com -K

Other than McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Subway, our restaurants are chef-owned. There aren't any I would not recommend. Consider Turpentine Creek www.turpentinecreek.org a "haunted" tour of the Crescent or Basin Park Hotel. Shopping!! A tram tour of the historic district. A drive out to Beaver Lake. A couple of hours visiting the attractions on the grounds of the Great Passion Play. A manicure and pedicure at one of our spas. One day just isn't enough!! -K

That is a very nice, peaceful time. No crowds. Maybe a little snow. Shops and restaurants are open. A perfect time to spend the afternoon in a spa. -K

Best Western Eureka Inn. -K

We have several businesses of this type downtown. I would suggest you contact a member of the Gallery Association for their thoughts. http://www.artofeureka.com/ -K

Blue Bird of Happiness has never been in Eureka Springs, it's in Branson. The Botanical Gardens are now Blue Spring Heritage Center. www.bluespringheritage.com -K

Kevin- There is a "sort-of" pumpkin patch in Pine Mountain Village every year. It isn't the real thing, but there are all shapes and sizes of pumpkins available for the "picking..." sans vines, leaves and dirt. Let me check on their schedule and will get back to you as quickly as possible. I'm sorry, I do not know of any farms in this area. -K

It has the same owner. -K

Ironhorse is between Eureka Springs and Berryville. We have never received any complaints about this property and it is very popular with motorcyclists. According to weather.com, it will be sunny this weekend with highs in the high 70's to low 80's. Nighttime lows between 58 and 61. -K

That is the Eureka Springs North Arkansas Railway. www.esnarailway.com -K

I don't think it's open anymore. The sign is gone, there is a for-sale sign in the front. The marquee says "We are open," but there never seems to be anyone there and the grounds are very unkept. Sorry I can't be more help than that. -K

870-423-2923 is the number for the Carroll County Health Dept in Berryville. That is the closest place to Eureka for those services. -K

Absolutely!! -K

The Lumberyard Bar and Grill, Henri's, Jack's Place and Shawbee's Big Dawg Saloon all have karaoke. -K

Must be the Basin Park Hotel. www.basinpark.com -K

In the 15 years I have lived here, I've seen snow on Halloween and St. Patrick's Day. So yes, it is possible it could happen in December and/or January. -K

It is now the Regency Inn. Same owners, same location, same quailty lodging, just a different name. The change happened about a month ago. -K

Inn of the Ozarks is taking reservations for Christmas parties. The Gazebo offers catering also, as does Forest Hill. Have you considered having the party at another location? During the holiday season, the Basin Park, Crescent, Grand Taverne, Gaskins Cabin, Rogue's Manor and DeVito's are open and can accommodate that number of people in private areas. Are you looking for a private caterer that will come to you? -K

Thurman's Lodge or Swiss Village Inn? Shawbee's Big Dawg Saloon? -K

Lake Leatherwood City Park has great biking and hiking trails. -K

I'm sorry to say, we do not have any more information about this property than you have already discovered...no website, no phone number. I know someone "lives" there, but not if the Veranda Inn is available for nightly lodging. -K

There will be folks in costume and out. However you feel confortable. And there will be some outlandish, creative wardrobes too! Chelsea's, Pied Piper, the Lumberyard, all bars will have parties ... and costume contests. You can bet, since Halloween is on a Friday this year, a fun time will be had by all. Drive safely. The kids (locals and visitors alike) will be trick or treating around the Historic Loop. It's a tradition. -K

I'm sorry, I don't think there is one here. If the New Moon Spa doesn't offer the service, there probably isn't one.

I can highly recommend any of those. Talk with your innkeeper regarding any packages available. Call Southern Pride Carriage Service. 870-749-2665 -K

Besides McDonalds, Subway and Pizza Hut, all of our restaurants are chef-owned. There are none I would not recommend. www.eurekasprings.com/restaurants -K

44 Spring St. Eureka Springs, AR 72632 479-363-9598 -K

Little Bread Company closed on Sunday, August 24. -K

All types of folks come here. "Trinket" people and also those looking for fine art. All income brackets. Yes, we are becoming a year-'round town, but winters are obviously slower than summers. The least populated month is January. There are 3 coffee shops downtown and all three do well. Booze Brothers Liquor has a large selection of wine and we also have Keels Creek Winery here. No, the town does not close down at 6:00. -K

Yes, Turpentine Creek. www.turpentinecreek.org -K

Use the "refine your search" feature at the top right of the lodging page. Select "historic district" in the location field for properties within walking distance of downtown. You may also select any other specfic amenities you may need. Pick a few that interest you and write back if you still have questions. -K

There is so much to do here, I don't know where to start... unique shopping, 4 star restaurants, carriage rides, spas, all sorts of outdoor activities including horseback riding, Beaver Lake tours, hiking, canoeing, etc...

Harts Grocery store is open 7 days, beginning at 7:30 am. If I'm not mistaken, it's open until at least 9. It is located on Van Buren Street, which is also Hwy 62, across from Bunch's convenience store and just before the Subway (coming FROM Beaver Lake) Enjoy brunch at the Crescent. I think you'll be very pleased. The best time to get groceries is on a full tummy. You'll have one!! -K

Altho most of the bars have parties, we have not yet received any schedules. -K

At this point, it is going to remain a private residence. -K

Dogwood Cottagges are close to town, but not on the water. Historic cottages on Lake Lucerne are about 10 minutes from town. Lake Lucerne is a small, spring-fed lake.

There is no way to "bike" to Eureka without getting on the highway. Hiking and biking trails are at Lake Leatherwood City Park. Select the spa you want to visit, call them and make an appointment. -K

That's about the going rate for rentals here also. Yes, summers are hot and humid, but I would not call them "terribly." Coming from way south Arkansas, I don't find they are unbearable at all. -K

4 nights to see everything. But, you don't want to miss the Antique Car Parade on Saturday. It's a blast. The Mill and Turpentine should for sure be on your list, but not as "alternates," as "must sees!" -K

There is live entertainment in the bars on weekend nights. Schedules are not available until the Thursday before the weekend. There is no place with "blues" in the name. -K

5 Summit? Isn't that Heart of the Hills B&B? Just follow the Historic Loop (62B) off of Van Buren Street (Hwy 62) like you're going to the Crescent Hotel. Don't make any turns. Each "curve" you make becomes a new street. Just stay on that main street until you get to the B&B, it will be on your left. Landmarks... 1. Go right just past the high school, which is across the street from Best Western Inn of the Ozarks. You're now on "The Loop," or 62B. 2. You will pass the hospital on your right. 3. You are driving thru a neighborhood. 4. Watch for 5 Ojo Inn B&B on your left. (Ojo is also the name of that stretch of the street.) 5. Curve right. Heart of the Hills is next on your left.

Maybe this will help... Good luck, -K Birth: Nov. 27, 1882 Muscatine Muscatine County Iowa, USA Death: Sep. 8, 1958 Dade County Florida, USA Convicted felon, inventor, and charlatan. He was a star mentalist on the vaudeville circuit in the early 1900's and made a fortune in the 1910's by inventing the Tangley Calliaphone. He built KTNT (Know the Naked Truth) radio in Iowa in 1925 and published TNT Magazine, where he made relentless attacks over the air and in print on established medical procedures and the American Medical Association. In 1930, President Herbert Hoover helped to launch Baker's tabloid newspaper, the Midwest Free Press by participating in a publicity stunt in which the president pushed a golden key from Washington D.C. to start Baker's printing press. Although having no formal education, he called himself "Dr." and opened a hospital in Iowa where he claimed he could cure cancer and many other maladies. He ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor of Iowa in 1932, even though his radio station had been shut down by the Federal Radio Commission and he had been run out of the state. His campaign was conducted while he was a fugitive from justice in Mexico, where he opened a cross-border radio station, XENT. He was sued and his hospital in Iowa shut down, so he moved his cancer patients to Eureka Springs, Arkansas in the building that is currently the Crescent Hotel. He was finally convicted of federal mail fraud in 1940 because of his "guarantees to cure cancer" sent through the mail and he was imprisoned for four years. Several books about his life are available including Quacks & Crusaders - the Fabulous Careers of John Brinkley, Norman Baker, and Harry Hoxsey; Doctors, Dynamiters and Gunmen - the Life Story of Norman Baker; The Throttle - a Fact Story of Norman Baker; and The Grand Old Lady of the Ozarks. (bio by: Goldie Browning) Several businesses tried to make a go at the Crescent over the next few years, until in 1937 it was purchased by Doctor Norman Baker to be used as a health resort. Baker had to tiptoe around the law because his title of doctor was self-conferred, and he had recently been in trouble in Iowa for practicing medicine without a license. He brought his guaranteed "six-week cure for cancer" to the Crescent, however, and replaced the stately decor of the hotel with bright art-deco designs featuring his signature color: purple. Some people hold that Baker was a harmless man who hoped to heal the terminally ill with the local mineral water. Others tell stories of horrible experiments that he conducted on patients to try and discover the ultimate cure for cancer, with footnotes of midnight cremations and cancerous limbs in jars sealed in the walls of the basement. Whatever the truth may be, many people died in the hotel over the Baker years - the "doctor" was simply unable to make good on his guarantee of healing. The American Medical Association alerted the authorities about his new hospital, and Norman Baker was convicted in 1940 and sentenced to serve four years in Leavenworth. (from Crescent Hotel website. www.crescent-hotel.com) The Haunting of the Crescent Hotel: You don't need to stay in a haunted room to see a ghost at the Crescent Hotel. Outside of the Recreation Room, the ghost of Dr. Norman Baker often appears, looking a bit confused. He ran a controversial hospital and health resort in the building during the 1930s. A nurse, dressed in a white uniform, has been seen on the third floor of the Crescent Hotel. A woman in Room 419 introduces herself as a cancer patient to guests and housekeepers, then vanishes. (From "Haunted Hotels.)
