Wampus Cats Boulevard

With all the mumbling and grumbling I'd heard, I had no idea how cool Prince Street (aka Wampus Cats Blvd.) was going to look! The decorative lamps in the median, the gentle sloping of the landscape - it's going to be fantastic. It's street scaping you expect to see in neighborhoods in Germantown, TN or Plano, TX. I was thinking about the cool factor the other night when I turned west onto Hwy.60/Prince Street from Donaghey Ave. on my way to try out west Conway's first hibachi restaurant (KOBE: now open) next to the Mamacita's (NOT open) Mexican restaurant not to be confused with the Texas chain of Papasito's restaurants. I was thinking how surprised some friends will be when they come home for Christmas this year. The old two-lane Prince Street and Morningside corner have changed a lot in the last few years. The progress has been painful. Retailers and businesses with Prince Street frontage have been fighting construction crews and the congested traffic it brings for more than a year but (wow!) what a difference. And from one homer to another....I like that when opposing teams come to Conway to use Wampus Cats facilities they enter on this fantastic road.
