A Shirt to Commemorate the Cultural Crisis of Crossing the River in Little Rock
Stacey Bowers
It’s a widespread joke among Dogtown residents that we always have to go over the river for everyone and everything because folks on the other side act like we live on another continent. Meanwhile we’re over here on the north side wallowing in great bars, lovely neighborhoods, excellent schools and affordable living. We’ve got a good thing going over here, but we’re happy to cross the river to visit you. Like this retro, throwback shirt and sweater, North Little Rock is groovy, and if you’d stop being a snob about crossing the river you’d find out for yourself ;-p
At first glance, this retro-inspired design looks like a fun, groovy shirt promoting North Little Rock (which it is!), but when you get closer, the snarky “stop being a snob about coming to” part adds a dose of funny realness.
The half sun design beneath "North Little Rock” is not only fun, it’s a throwback to the North Little logo you’ve probably seen on top of the city buildings in Argenta. The old logo has half of what looks like a water wheel, probably a nod to the Old Mill, under the name North Little Rock. I grew up in North Little Rock and live here now, and I remember the logo from years ago.

This design is available in two versions: a soft crew neck t-shirt and a soft crew neck pullover. They’re both Bella + Canvas brand, so they’re soft, true to size and good quality. I’ve only ever printed on this brand of shirt because I’ve been so pleased with them. ALL OF THESE STYLES ARE UNISEX, so you don't have to worry about that weird “babydoll” fit people give to women’s clothing. This listing is a PRE-ORDER so that I can get everyone the sizes they need. Pre-orders will close Friday, January 22, and we’ll try to ship them by the first week in February.

Thank you for supporting and shopping local! And thank you for crossing the river every now and then.
