¨It's fascinating - whether you're 4 or 60 - it's fascinating to have those things at your fingertips and to feed those desires to create something or be creative.¨ Pocahontas Arkansas does not have a lot of entertainment, therefore, boredom plagues the civilians. While boredom can be tedious and silently dull, it can also be very inspiring and motivating. Boredom can give this little town inspiration to go and do something fun and creative.

Having creative ideas is always a good thing, and often creativity comes from boredom or the time to brainstorm. This community can lead to a lot of great things through creative ideas and time and effort. For example, this community can create a much better park beside the river, the park is usually flooded during bad weather resulting in the play equipment being rusted and not very fun to play with. If you brainstorm a bit you can lift the land and add a much better playground for the kids. Sarah Hall, A manager at Harps Food Stores, said “I think Pocahontas could improve so much more with entertainment in the town. Our youth could benefit from a movie theater or a new bowling alley! Even just an arcade would give our little town and our youth a place to hangout after school”

The town square has a sense of oldness and antiqueness, but the design of the square squishes the buildings together and makes it hard to find what you're looking for. The quality of the buildings are in disarray and are falling apart. In January, I went to see the eye doctor and noticed that the paint and walls were peeling and cracking all over. The building design was also obviously not made for an eye doctor,and it looked like a maze when you walked through it.I asked Kim Nead, an english teacher at Pocahontas Junior High, what she thought Pocahontas would be like in 10 years and she said “If the community will come together and support the town square, then we could see a positive change in the near future.” I noticed that there are not a lot of sidewalks to walk on and you often have to run across the street, and there are not enough parking spots to fit all the cars that pass through there. I think that we can redesign by leveling the hills out and making the roads a little bigger. We can also change the layouts of the buildings to provide more space for parking spaces.

Overall this community can benefit greatly from the creative ideas some of the citizens can provide and can help the community grow. The town has a lot of pros and cons to it, but I hope that the citizens can come up with more pros than cons in the upcoming future.
