Introduction

The topic of Listening Posts has sparked my interest incredibly. After such research, I have found the perfect definition that resonates with my opinion and can be easily understood. 

A listening post is a place or opportunity to hear about what's going on , or perhaps sources of insight - productfocus

Brief

The information that I normally receive is from social media as well as word-of-mouth. It usually happens like this :

Friend:  Did you see on Tik Tok that Blueface proposed to Chrisean

Me: Nope, I didn't see that, but that crazy considering...

Friend: What do you think about it because girl, he does not want her. He's only doing that because he's mad that Chrisean made that diss song with that boy.

Me: (Researches topic)  (Giving the baby mama a little faith lol)  Yeah, that sounds about right, but you never know since they have been together for almost 10 years. It could be possible that he's doing both.

Friend: Girl, you're pissing me off. No ma'am.

Me: Okay, that's fine lol.

The situation above is usually one of the ways of how I hear about what's going on in my community as well as in the world. I first listen to all perspectives on certain topics whether that's through social media or word-of-mouth, and then I research or look up the topic that I can be familiarized with it during discussing it with whomever I'm talking to.

Another thing to include is that if my parents aren't binge-watching a series, they are often lying around watching the weather and/or listening to the news on channel 7. It is often that I pop by their room to talk and end up sitting in the recliner like an old lady just listening along. I assume that you can say there is some kind of unintentional influence that occurred when I entered their room.

To add, the information that I receive is often broad because I love to hear others perspectives to which I get from my parents, peers my age, friends and cousins that are much older than me, grandfather that lives in the DMV area, saints at church, and sometimes my 12 year old brother. 

Conclusion

Ultimately, my listening posts are very broad!

 Brief

In early August of 2023, the defendant Elizabeth Haynie was charged  with the killing of her late husband Jerome Haynie. The incident is reported as first-degree murder done with the weapon of a handgun. 

Her first trial was set to be in April and May of 2023, but has since been moved to late August of this year. To add her charges were changed to manslaughter due to a lawyer conflict that she had. Ultimately, she will be serving some time due to  the following reports that were made in 2021, to which her husband was injured at the time that raises some suspicion.

Conclusion

The sad news is that their children heard the gun shots and it was evident that they often heard the two arguing as they stated these things to officers according to camdenarknews.

Introduction

If not known, the small city of Camden, AR could potentially gain a new restaurant franchise to their town. This great effort would not only give passing drivers to stop in our little town for a quick meal, but it'll also allow our community to grown by bringing in more revenue

Brief 

Flying burger firstly opened its door in 2008, in Magnolia AR, to which made it a local fan-favorite for college student to hang out and eat, but also for those who need a quick stop while traveling. According to the magnoliareporter the only things that were served at the time were burgers and wings. Since then the menu has expanded to various seafood options as well as salads, and desserts. 

After the success of the first flying burger, the business decided to add another location only 34 miles away in the growing population of Eldorado, AR in 2012. 

 

Earlier this month, it was announced that the local franchise would be allowing Queen City to represents it restaurant in their hometown but rather than flying burger, it will be a small subdivision restaurant called Flying Burger Express. The location of this new establishment will be in East Camden next to the Sleep Inn Hotel, to which will attract a lot of drivers as they see it coming into our town. 

Conclusion

Though the new evolution of Flying Burger will be coming to Camden, AR, we are still excited and grateful to experience other varieties of foods. I just hope they don't take all of Wood's Place Business because Wood's Place has the best fish in town, though Flying Burger Express will have a Drive-Thru option as well.
