Clinton Information Center Opens

Little Rock - The Clinton Library is expected to open the Fall of 2004.  To help get the public excited about the opening, Little Rock  officials have opened the new Clinton Information Center.

Channel Seven's Mary Nguyen joins us live from the river market with more.  The Clinton Foundation opened the new kiosk today in the center of the Rivermarket.  

The kiosk is a place where visitors, tour groups, and business developers can obtain information about the Clinton library . 

Shoppers and tourists stopped by the kiosk this morning to watch a video describing the library project. 

Patrons also purchased Arkansas and Clinton memorabilia at the information booth. 

Organizers believe the kiosk is  a natural fit with the Rivermarket and will give locals and visitors a chance to boost tourism and explain  what the library will mean to the area.  

(Sharon Priest)  "Clearly what one of the things people want.  They want to know about the library and are interested about it they want info about the library and they want to buy clinton souvenirs i think it's great for the river market future and tourism."

The Clinton information center at the Rivermarket will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 4 pm.

I wish them well--but they'll be doing it without me--LOL!

Is this a joke?

We'll just keep building monuments and selling buttons just as if the Clintons were human beings and had integrity.

Patrons also purchased Arkansas and Clinton memorabilia at the information booth.

Why?

"...and they want to buy clinton souvenirs..."

Like what - back issues of Hustler with the pages stuck together? Or maybe your very own set of presidential kneepads (the perfect gift for your wife!).

Correction: Clinton Disinformation Center

[ladyinred]

Clinton information center?
I thought the Clinton's couldn't recall anything?
Oh, I see, maybe it is information FOR the Clinton's to help them remember things?

The library will have several rooms:

The Monica room. That sound wasn't coming from the south after all, Mr. Perot.

The ChiCom room, where, as with Alice's Restaurant, you can get anything you want. All it takes is money.

The "is" room. There's nothing there, but you can meditate for hours on the meaning of is.

And curiously enough, the library mens room was designed with only one urinal, but ten sinks.

The Clinton Information Center and Gift Shop already has the sign up:

I'd be curious to stop by there once, just to see what kind of a loser would purchase Clinton merchandise.

[TrebleRebel]

Wonder if they also boast a fully stocked humidor.....

[Slyfox]

Now why are we selling these blue dresses again?

[Chirodoc]

Owners of local adult stores complained of declines in revenue after the Clinton center opened.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'd suggest wearing rubber gloves, a surgical mask and carrying Lysol if this ever hits you again. This urge.

Also, a life-time prescription to an anti-biotic.

Sex toys, condoms,etc.

Now why are we selling these blue dresses again?

"No, no, no! The stain was MUCH bigger than that!"
