Walking off dinner on the main drag. Hot Springs was a big destination back in the 20-30s, for vice, spring training, and the bathhouses. Here the kids are having imaginary cigars with Al Capone. We've been told that Capone would stay at the old Wahpeton Inn on Wahpeton Hill on his way to Hot Springs. We have no idea if it is true, but Hardy is right along the train line if you were coming down from Chicago and where else would anyone have stayed in Hardy back then?

In the lobby of the beautiful Arlington Hotel where the ballplayers would stay when Hot Springs was a spring training town.

Phoebe insisted on spending some of her track winnings on a fortune from this wizard.
She liked her fortune until she got to the vegetables part!
