I THINK THIS IS KIND OF SIMPLE TO EXPLAIN, AS TO WHY THIS SAGGING PRACTICE SHOULD BE BANNED. UNDERWEAR IS WHAT YOU WEAR UNDER YOUR CLOTHES, NOT OVER YOUR CLOTHES OR OUTSIDE OF YOUR CLOTHING. IF THIS CONTINUES; THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP IS FOR ONE TO ACTUALLY WEAR BRIEFS OVER THEIRS PANTS, THEREBY EXPOSING EVERY PART OF THE UNDERWEAR. IS THAT AN ACCEPTABLE FORM OF SELF EXPRESSION? HOW ABOUT SOCKS OVER SHOES? OR SKIRTS STUFFED INTO PANTYHOSE. OH, THAT’S RIDICULOUS YOU SAY? BUT WEARING PANTS SO LOW AS TO EXPOSE DISGUSTING SKID MARKS IS COOL? THERE HAS TO BE A LOGICAL CUT OFF POINT SOMEWHERE. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO WEAR A BELT FINE, DO WHAT YOU WANT. IF THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A REBEL, A THUG GOOD FOR YOU, BUT REMEMBER, THIS ONLY MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE POLICE TO BE MORE SPECIFC IN THEIR PROFILING OF THUGS.

The Christmas lighting in the town of Jonesboro, LA is some of the best in the area.

My favorite place in the ArkLaTex is Natchitoches. I live here and work here, and it seems that the town and I become closer every day. Being a public servant, I really enjoy telling people about it. Whether someone is asking directions, or just wants to know some history facts, I love to answer.

It was really aggravating that this “sold out” concert had so many empty seats. There were eight empty seats next to us. I have been very upset since the tickets went on sale. I didn’t know anything about secondary brokers until this experience. I accidently paid $1000 for 4 tickets due to my 12 year old finding tickets on a secondary broker website. She thought the tickets were 4 for $214.00 because she didn’t see the (ea) at the top of the column. We immediately called for a refund as soon as we saw the total and to our great disappointment, they had a no refund policy. The attorney generals office and the better business bureau did not help in this matter because by submitting my order, I agreed to their terms and conditions. Everyone says that I should have seen a total before submitting but I didn’t. I have felt scammed and ripped off since that day. We tried to sell the tickets simply to recoup our loss and were unsucessful so my three daughters and myself did attend the concert. The girls had a wonderful time but I was rather miserable because of what this concert cost me. Something really needs to change because when you buy tickets from ticketmaster you are limited to how many you can purchase so why can these secondary brokers get so many the very first day they go on sale? This practice is much bigger and worse than scalping ever was to begin with. So why is it legal for these guys on the computer? I share my bad experience in the hope of saving someone else from making the same mistake as I made. My advice for buying tickets is to only go to the box office or ticketmaster.com. I also hope that awareness promotes the need for change in the way tickets can be sold.

You should see our little town. Hall Summit, it is in the Christmas Spirit. I have lived here my entire life and just in the last few years we have gone from nothing at christmas to lights galore in the small village. It is absolutely beautiful to us. Nothing compared to Natchitchoes, but considering we didn’t do this at all 10 or 12 years ago it is lovely. When I was growing up I couldn’t wait to leave, now I see what a lovely little spot we have.

My husband was online and a friend was online during the first sale…….we couldn’t get tickets. during this last sale we couldn’t get tickets. I think someone should do something! and if scalping is illegal, why can they sell them for 4x the price on ebay? if everyone would stop buying them at those prices and those people were stuck with their tickets maybe they would stop doing it! and why did someone 4 states away get tickets but people here couldn’t!

My daughter loves Hannah Montana, however I was very disappointed when trying to buy tickets for her. My daughter is 7yrs old, her birthday was November 14. You can imagine the disappointment of not seeing Hannah. I am just outraged!

It was an awesome concert!!! My daughter had a fantastic time!!! I’ve never seen so many people in the Century Tel Center at one time, but they did a great job handling the crowds!!!!

The tickets were expensive, the crowds were crazy, the kids were loving it! It was by far the best concert I have ever been to, and it was worth every penny to see the look on my daughters face when Hannah Montana took the stage. To everyone who wasnt there, you missed a great show. People will be talking about this for weeks!

It was wonderful! My kids had a blast. It was well worth the money. However, the hype about tickets being “sold out” is false. We went without tickets, walked up to the ticket window and was able to purchase 3 seats on the floor section 1 row L. Awesome seats!! I am thrilled I was able to attend but they need to revisit how they issue tickets. Everyone should have the opportunity to purchase the tickets when they go on sale. Not little by little.
