What's news this week in Crittenden County...

When Denny Woodall closed his used automobile dealership on the south side of Marion a few weeks ago, it left just one thread in the city’s retail car business. In the lifetimes of most middle-aged people in the community, there have been a number of new and used vehicle retailers. At one time or another, there were four new car dealerships where one could purchase a Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler or Oldsmobile. The last to leave was Chrysler, almost 30 years ago.
