We’ve had several requests to provide a series of videos from the second mayoral candidate debate held Thursday night inside Fayetteville City Hall, just as we did for the first debate of the election season. Here ya go.
This week’s featured pets include Constantina, a 5-year-old, tri-colored Rat Terrier and Spirit, a 10-month-old Halloween kitty. Both are available for adoption at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter.
After a year-and-a-half hiatus, pizza will soon be served again at 2730 N. College Avenue. The small building, which was home to a Tim’s Pizza location for decades, will soon house a new restaurant called Z’s Pizza & Pasta.
As nice as the weather has been lately, Wilson Park will likely be packed with people on Saturday enjoying the Fall in Fayetteville. It will also be packed with puppets.
Valet parking is now available at Jose’s on Dickson Street. That and more are in this week’s Flyer Sponsor post.
