I've been to Gino's several times since they've opened. They have the best pizza in town. However, the last time I was there, and it will be my last time, my feet stuck to the floor. When I drove up to pick up my pizza, staff were standing at the back door smoking. You could see inside and the place really looked dirty. Then my feet stuck to the floor.....at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Although I love their pizza, I just can't get past the overall dirty feel of the place.

Located only a few minutes from I-30, this museum is a hidden gem. It is filled with room after room of highly personal exhibits donated by members of the community which tell the story of the generations of miners that lived in this company town with their families. It has exhibits of historical, industrial, and geological interest.
Just a few minutes from I-30, this museum tells the story of the working and family lives of the miners of Bauxite. It is filled with extraordinary personal exhibits donated by current and former residents of the town. I spent two hours there during my first visit and plan to return again.

We see plays locally produced here, local townies perform in classic plays; it is fun to watch these plays and visit this theater, what a gem and what great actors!! The popcorn and snacks always smell so good. The theater is vintage with original seating in original seats, so fun to step back in time like that.

Built in 1893, the office of Dr. Dewell Gann, Sr., is the only known bauxite building in existence making the building is an architectural landmark. Today, it is a museum hosting an array of exhibits and history of Saline County.
Great displays, history here. We saw a Roy Rogers exhibit there once it was very cool. Located in downtown Benton.
