I consider hot springs a small town and really don’t know that many people anymore here and hardly never run into anyone I know in Walmart

I lived in Malvern until I was 7, you actually drove right past a duplex at the start of the video that my dad and step mom lived in for a little bit haha. Also, the Mexican restaurant you mentioned that use to be a block buster was actually a Movie gallery when I was a kid, maybe it was a block buster before that though. Thx for making this video, loved feeling all nostalgic while watching.

My parents moved me and my two older brothers to Malvern in 1969, when I was 4 years old. This was quite the trip down memory lane. I’ve had I don’t know how many burgers from Mel’s Dairy Bar. The salon you pointed out @3:41 was Dr. David D. Sutton’s Chiropractic office. The back of what was my dad’s barber shop - Joe F. Johnson Barber service - was on the right @4:00 to the right of the red SUV. I was saved and grew up in First Baptist Church. There’s a time capsule under that bell @4:30 (across the street from Food Center). The beige building on the right with the two horizontal windows @4:57 is where my parent’s business was when we first moved to Malvern. It was called Johnson Family Shoe Store and stayed in business from when my parents bought it in ‘69 until Reynolds shut down in the mid 1970s and moved to Argentina (?). More than 100 businesses went bankrupt in the 12 months after that plant shut down. My dad started traveling for a living before opening the barber shop. My mom, Betty, went to work for Walmart and retired after 27 years as a regional manager for corporate. I graduated from MHS in 1983, left for college, came back and worked for the police department for a couple of years before leaving for good in 1994. I’ve only been back a few times since, mostly for funerals. Mom and dad are gone. But they loved Malvern and I learned a lot growing up there. I still have family in Malvern. They’re good people. If you run into any of “Old Joe Johnson’s” relatives, tell them their normal brother/uncle said, “Hi.” They’ll laugh and then joke about me being only slightly more normal than the other brother. Again, thanks for the trip down memory lane. This was a really cool video.

That's really neat to hear! We live in Benton but are originally from Malvern. We actually take our boys (4 & 5) to the same barber shop! The guy who owns it now is one of my husbands best friend.

@@nicoledraper3048 - who has the shop now? I think dad sold it to a young man named Brent Whitley(?) maybe. LOTS of memories from great conversations had (and bad jokes told) in that barber shop!
