Proposed Little Rock affordable housing project sparks parking concerns
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An affordable housing proposal set for a vote before the Little Rock City Council to bring four new mini-homes to the Pettigrew area has been deferred by the developer for a later date. The developer, Mike Orndorff, said the decision to defer bringing this proposal before the Little Rock City Council to a later date is because he didn't believe he had the votes from city leaders to get the four proposed mini homes approved. Little Rock Mayor hopes to combat homelessness with Holistic Housing Initiative Orndorff says the city's planning commission had recommended denial of the initial application because the homes did not have driveways and would not provide any off-street parking. Orndorff said the vice chairman of the planning commission has since publicly voiced his support for the project. Orndorff said if approved, he'd plan to list the mini homes for $100,000 a piece, giving priority to homeowners and not investors looking to rent them out. But residents on Hanger Street say it will only make a crowded street with limited street parking and few driveways more difficult to navigate. 'Just being more congested around here. More cars on the street, up and down the street. It's up and down the street now, there's too many cars,' Hanger Street resident Cleo Berry said. 'Everybody moved around here, after school they're flying up and down the street. It's hectic around here and adding more homes like that around here it's not going to do anything but make it that much more congested.' Orndorff said interior designs have not been created yet. The homes do not have driveways, which was a major area of contention for residents like Berry. Little Rock makes 'Top 100 Best Places to Live' list Orndorff said there are three board members who have voiced their support of his application, but he would still need three more votes in favor for the proposal to move forward. The city council will next discuss Orndorff's application during their meeting on June 15. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

RI's third giant troll sculpture may be coming to East Providence
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — It looks like another giant troll may soon be moving to Rhode Island. East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva announced in a social media post Tuesday that Danish artist Thomas Dambo is 'looking to bringing one of his famous trolls' to the city. Dambo first brought his trolls, which are made of recycled wood, to Rhode Island back in May 2024. There are currently two trolls, named Erik Rock and Greta Granit, at Ninigret Park in Charlestown. SEE ALSO: 2 giant troll sculptures unveiled in Rhode Island Those sculptures marked the beginning of a so-called 'Rhode Island troll trail,' which will feature five trolls in total.

Shaquille O'Neal Subtly Endorses Former Warriors Coach for Knicks Job
Shaquille O'Neal Subtly Endorses Former Warriors Coach for Knicks Job originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks made headlines across the NBA world on Tuesday after news hit that they had decided to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau. Advertisement This decision came following the Knicks' heartbreaking loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals and after Thibodeau's five-year reign as head coach. Naturally, the basketball world is already talking about who the Knicks should name as Thibodeau's successor. Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal appears to have made his choice after sharing a strong endorsement video via his Instagram stories not long after the Thibodeau news broke. O'Neal did not caption his post, but it seems clear that the four-time NBA champ wants to see former Golden State Warriors shot-caller Mark Jackson take the helm in New York. O'Neal shared a video strongly advocating Jackson as Thibodeau's successor for the Knicks. The clip highlights Jackson's achievements for the Warriors, where he served as head coach for three seasons between 2011 and 2014. Advertisement Jackson may not have won a championship with Golden State, but the former All-Star point guard is widely credited for playing a pivotal role in laying the foundations of the Stephen Curry-led Warriors dynasty.

He won Rookie of the Year in his first season with the Knicks and was named an All-Star in his sophomore campaign. Jackson suited up for New York for five years at the start of his career, and another couple of seasons toward the tail end of his NBA tenure. A return to the Knicks as a head coach would be a full-circle moment of sorts for the 60-year-old.
