Welcome to Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
A city of southeast-central Arkansas south-southeast of Little Rock. Founded c. 1820 as Mount Marie, it was renamed in 1832.
You keep thinking Pine Bluff is a little town, but the more you drive the more of it you see, and more, and more. It is all spread out, nice and clean. The people there are the same way. Pine Bluff sits on The River, and is a major intermodal shipping point. It is also a center for many state government agencies. Their little convention center can host a party of 10,000 -- or make 10 big people feel right at home. The Pine Bluff flea market brings visitors and vendors in from all over the state.

Comments Add a comment "What would the reaction be if a president's wife who was white was going to speak at a state-supported institution of higher education because it was founded for "whites." We all know what the answer would be.
