Springdale, AR April 2026

The Springdale Portfolio

Sitting on the leather couch at Onyx on Emma recently and looking out the windows, I found myself struck by how much investment has changed the view. Hilton Tapestry Hotel was rising. Bikers flew by on the trail. Things looked a lot different than they did a few years ago. But my mind kept drifting to the smaller, more intentional moments: neighbors stopping to catch up; laugher among the baristas; friends debating where to eat dinner or where to shop, happy for an extra moment of indecisiveness for all the places new and incoming. It made me realize that while the buildings are impressive, the return is the energy of a community alive. It is a reminder that when we pour our love into a place, it eventually pours love back into us.

When we think of investment, our minds often go straight to finances and portfolios. In this April issue, we realized that investment takes many forms. It’s about where we choose to pour our time, our energy, and our hearts. For us, that means investing in what we love: our community, our health, and one another.

In this issue, we explore what it looks like to invest in the soul of Springdale, supporting the local spirit that makes our city thrive. We also dive into the vital importance of investing in our personal well-being, featuring a powerful look at the journey of living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

Our goal with this publication is to be an investment in itself, a resource that champions the people and stories of Springdale. Whether it’s through community growth or personal health, we hope these pages inspire you to invest in what matters most.

What's New in Springdale and Beyond

ARTICLE BY BO SIMPSON

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

Bricks & Minifigs

An adventure land for the ghosts of LEGOs’ past, Bricks & Minifigs is coming soon to Springdale. Built around a mission to “rebuild, reuse, and reimagine,” the store specializes in retired LEGO sets, rare minifigures, and bulk pieces ready for new life. They also accept collections from builders looking to sell or trade parts of their past creations. Whether you’re rediscovering childhood imagination or introducing it to someone new, the appeal is immediate. Equally nostalgic and a hub of creativity, Bricks & Minifigs offers tools for small-scale construction and open-ended discovery, inviting kids and adults alike to build something entirely their own.

Zelli Pasta

A Springdale favorite has found a new home downtown. Zelli Pasta has relocated to a more connected, walkable space while keeping the fresh-made pasta and beloved sandwiches that built its following. The new location opens the door to menu updates and rooftop seating ready for gathering as warmer months arrive. Guests can return to familiar dishes while exploring new additions, all within the energy of downtown Springdale. With open air, expanded seating, and the rhythm of the city just outside, Zelli’s next chapter brings new life to an already well-loved local destination.

Ozark Adventure Park

One of the largest indoor ropes courses in the Southeast US is coming to Lowell, Arkansas. Ozark Adventure Park will soon introduce 50,000 square feet of high-flying activity designed for every age and skill level. Featuring ropes courses, zip lines, climbing walls, adventure trails, arcade spaces, and dining under one expansive roof, the park aims to create year-round excitement regardless of weather. Attractions like Sky Tykes, Sky Trails, Sky Rails, and Clip ’n Climb promise challenges for both beginners and thrill-seekers. As anticipation builds, visitors can follow updates online and prepare for a destination built around movement, exploration, and shared adventure.

Hutton

Even before their office opens in Springdale, Hutton Corporation is investing in Northwest Arkansas. The Kansas-based commercial Design+Build and Facility Services firm is supporting Ozark Juniors, NWACC and Springdale Public Schools, to name just a few. With a presence already established through design projects like HomeGrown, Hutton has an office opening up right down the road on Emma Ave. Eschewing the formality of a “mission” statement, they use a purpose statement instead: committing themselves to everyone in the community—client or not—that the local can thrive. Wherever you are on your facilities journey, Hutton has got your back.

AQ Chicken House

Established in 1947, AQ Chicken House remains one of Arkansas’s most recognizable dining places, and now it is returning to Springdale. After serving generations of guests its famous fried chicken for more than seven decades, AQ closed its doors last year, leaving behind a legacy deeply tied to the community. This year marks its anticipated revival, bringing back the flavors, atmosphere, and traditions that made the restaurant a local landmark in the first place. Returning to its familiar setting, AQ aims to reconnect past and present, proving that some places never leave—they simply wait for the right moment to come home again.

Hilton Tapestry Hotel

The continued momentum of downtown Springdale is taking shape along Emma Avenue with the arrival of the Hilton Tapestry Hotel. Designed as a boutique-style stay within walking distance of the city’s growing entertainment and dining district, the hotel reflects Springdale’s ongoing transformation. Featuring approximately 130 guest rooms alongside ground-floor dining, the space offers both visitors and locals a refined place to gather, stay, or unwind. As investment and energy continue flowing into downtown, the Tapestry collection adds another layer to the city’s hospitality landscape. In turn, a comfortable retreat is offered that remains closely connected to the life and movement of Springdale itself.

Talking Crow Coffee Roasters First Sip of Spring

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY CAROL

BLANCHET

Bright pomegranate hits first, then the vanilla comes in like a warm hug. Two shots of Talking Crow espresso keep it grounded and the vanilla cold foam makes it dreamy. Here’s how to build the drink.

DIRECTIONS:

1. To an 11 oz glass add:

• 1 oz Pomegranate juice

• ½ - 1 oz vanilla simple syrup

• 2 shots of Talking Crow espresso, cooled (we used our decaf Mexico Chiapas)

• Milk to fill to 1/2 - 2/3 of the glass

• Ice to almost the top of the glass

• Top with vanilla cold foam

• Vanilla Simple Syrup

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped OR 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract.

2. In a pot, combine the water and sugar and vanilla bean pod scrapings. If using vanilla extract, do not add yet.

3. Over a medium heat, stir to dissolve sugar completely. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.

4. Store in a cute jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

VANILLA COLD FOAM:

• 3 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream

• 2 Tablespoons milk

• 1 Tablespoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla simple syrup

Mix with a milk-frother until doubled in size and thickened, but still pourable.

The Value

Signature Bank’s Dedication to Materializing Value in Springdale

of Investment

From the trading of commodities like cattle and agriculture in the ancient world to the modern age of zeroes and ones in online banking systems, history tells an impressive story about the evolution of value. Value began in things , and the further along in history you look, the more form value took for itself in coins and cash. That’s changed.

Money is a currency of value that makes the world go ‘round. Despite its importance, however, only 8% of money in the world today is physical. While money’s current form has become digitized and detached from lived reality, community banking restores visibility and relational value at the local level.

That’s why Signature Bank makes a point to invest right here in Springdale. They recognize that value materialized is value realized , and money serves its purpose best when going into the projects we care about most. At the top of our lists is this place we call home. With their help, our city’s value can manifest in the heartbeat of local life.

While there’s no shame in investing in the world beyond Northwest Arkansas, this is our community. As easy as it is to become isolated in our own attempts to accumulate wealth, investing locally connects us to something both bigger than ourselves and closer to home, prioritizing the wealth and health of the region over our own.

Signature Bank’s investments in up-and-coming businesses, restaurants, and downtown areas connect us to what we can see. And the best part? We get to grow alongside our investments.

As the invisible hand of the economy tugs at each of our pockets, it can be difficult to know who to trust. When much is hidden, much is uncertain. So, I spoke with Knight Weis and Randall Harriman, President and Senior Vice President at Signature Bank in Springdale, to help me think through this.

“Trust is the main thing in banking,” Knight said. “It’s important to find somebody that you really respect and have confidence in.”

Randall concurred, noting that relationship banking is the priority for he and his team. He also made clear that trust is a tether going both ways.

“AS THE INVISIBLE HAND OF THE ECONOMY TUGS AT EACH OF OUR POCKETS, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST … SO, I SPOKE WITH KNIGHT WEIS AND RANDALL HARRIMAN, PRESIDENT AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AT SIGNATURE BANK IN SPRINGDALE, TO HELP ME THINK THROUGH THIS.”

“For us to be able to do business, we have to have people invest in us,” Randall said. “At the heart of every business is people, just like the community.”

Thus, Signature Bank is invested in the community of Springdale in more ways than money. They see their first and best investment as one in the people. Gary Head, who founded Signature Bank in 2004, did so to ensure that everyone in Northwest Arkansas would have a bank that was above all locally devoted. On the basis of relation and community, Signature Bank was built to develop, to serve, and to establish trust with the people of this area.

Central to this mission is the cultivation of financial literacy. Finances impact just about every aspect of our lives, allowing us more or less freedom to do the things we love. If we can’t afford our houses, we can’t afford our health. If we can’t afford our health, we can’t afford our sanity. If we can’t afford our sanity, what can we afford?

Consequently, Signature Bank seeks opportunities with clients, on campuses, and with anyone interested to educate them on the importance of financial literacy. In order to recognize the broad implications of finance, it’s vital that we make it a part of our core curriculum. That invisible hand just keeps on tugging at everyone’s pockets, so we might as well learn to shake it.

Knight and Randall indicated that some of the most important financial literacy tips include starting credit early (and using responsibly), building a mix of credit types (i.e., revolving, installment, and

mortgage), paying balances on time, avoiding high utilization, saving and investing regularly, educating children from an early age, and paying extra on mortgage and principal when possible.

By learning to channel money toward the things we value most, the cycle of money can come to reinforce the cycle of life. Moreover, investing in Signature Bank means investing in a company that above all values the lives of those they’re invested in With liquid value, they have a strong track record of helping their clients materialize what would otherwise exist in the imagination alone.

From Signature Bank’s Spanish-speaking branch— Banco Sí—to their philosophy of watering the local community through relationships and education, Knight and Randall represent the bank’s steadfast optimism and commitment to the future of Springdale. As a glue between practicality and vivacity, Signature Bank ensures that as Springdale continues to grow, it does not grow apart, but grows together.

L I V ING W ITH T 1 D

Type 1 Diabetes [T1D] is a dynamic and often misunderstood condition. While many are familiar with Type 2 Diabetes – typically associated with lifestyle choices – T1D is an autoimmune disease, commonly linked to genetic markers and environmental triggers. Individuals living with T1D are unable to produce insulin on their own and rely on injections or a pump to manage blood sugar. For some, including the ambassadors in this article, the diagnosis experience can be sudden and scary; something Breakthrough T1D is working to rectify through early detection and increased awareness, in addition to its primary mission to find a cure for those living with T1D.

According to Breakthrough T1D, common symptoms include: Frequent urination, extreme thirst, fruity odor on the breath, increased appetite, fatigue, sudden vision changes, and unexplained weight loss.

TYPE ONE DIABETES "LOOKS LIKE ME"

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHELLE BAZIS

SUTTON HOBBS, 9 YO JACKSON GRABOW, 14 YO

Sutton loves cheerleading and golf, though cheer is her favorite. She was diagnosed at five years old and remembers the day saying, “My stomach hurt really bad. Now, when I’m low [glucose], some things taste really sour.” For Sutton, one of the most difficult things about living with T1D is explaining her devices. She wears her continuous glucose monitor [CGM] and a watch, which sends her and her caregivers alerts when needed. “People are always concerned about me,” she says. “When little kids ask me about it [CGM], I say it’s a special bandaid, but when older kids ask me, I’ll actually explain it.”

Jackson is ahead of the game in T1D advocacy. The high school freshman recently represented Arkansas at Children’s Congress in Washington, D.C. “I wrote a one-page essay about my experiences, and they selected 170 kids to go and speak to Congress.” While in D.C., he had the opportunity to meet with representatives to talk about T1D and funding for special diabetes programs. “It’s cool to see our highest officials are still looking to the people for insight,” he said. Jackson was in fifth grade when he received his T1D diagnosis, and remembers a classmate’s experience being a huge help when navigating the change. “He had been diagnosed the year before. We were good friends, so I knew what it was like for him, and we could talk to each other about it.”

ROXANA HUTCHCRAFT SANDY RAINEY

Unlike the others in this article, Roxana was diagnosed with T1D as an adult. “I hadn’t been feeling well for a while, and I remember being really thirsty all the time,” she said. “I was later diagnosed with endocarditis, which is likely what led to the diabetic ketoacidosis [DKA].” When Roxanna was unresponsive to messages from friends who knew she was ill, they contacted police to conduct a welfare check, which likely saved her life. Today, she helps others like her as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist at the Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Springdale. Roxana also serves on the Board of Directors for Breakthrough T1D - Arkansas

Diagnosed at eight years old, Sandy grew up without the modern tools benefiting those with T1D today. She recalls her mom being her greatest asset. “My mom was pretty aware and kept on it. She boiled syringes, tested my pee, and regulated what I ate, drank, my exercise, and my insulin.” When she was young, doctors said she wouldn’t have kids, but Sandy ended up having three sons, including twins. “When my sugar was low, my kids would say, ‘She’s going banana sandwich!’” Now, with her GCM and a pump, she feels more freedom with her T1D management, but still does what she can to spread awareness.

FOUR SIMPLE WAYS TO INVEST IN YOUR MORNING AND START YOUR DAY OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT

habits morning for success

One of the best ways to invest in yourself is by creating a consistent and intentional morning routine. No matter how unpredictable or chaotic the rest of your day may become, starting your morning with self-care and purpose sets a positive tone that stays with you throughout the day.  Once you develop a morning routine that truly resonates with you, you’ll look forward to it every night, knowing it will set the foundation for a productive and fulfilling day.

If you’re ready to elevate your mornings, here are some meaningful ways to invest in your routine and start each day on the right foot.

Be Your Own Barista:

One of life’s simplest pleasures is savoring a homemade coffee each morning. While skipping the drivethru may be tough at first, brewing your own allows you to appreciate the process—and chances are, you’ll end up preferring your own perfect cup of joe.

Get Your Steps In:

An hour-long gym session before work may not be realistic, but a quick morning walk is. Use this time to clear your mind, enjoy nature, and listen to your favorite podcast or artist—an easy way to start your day feeling relaxed.

Enjoy Some Breakfast:

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet often the most overlooked. Setting your alarm just minutes earlier to prepare a fresh, nutritious meal can transform your morning, fueling your body and mind for a more energized and productive day.

Read A Book:

Starting your day with a book is far more calming than scrolling through social media. Reading in the morning helps ease you into the day, providing a peaceful and mindful escape that sets a positive, focused tone for what’s ahead.

Curated Health Investment Q&A

How Curated Health invests in Springdale, and what we can do to invest in ourselves

Curated Health is a mental healthcare practice offering personalized talk therapy and hypnotherapy for various mental health conditions. For this Q&A, I talked to Ashely Cerda, Founder and CEO of Curated Health AR, to focus on the theme of investment, and to discover the ways in which we can better invest in the community, each other, and ourselves.

ARTICLE BY BO SIMPSON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

1. What does investment mean to you?

At Curated Health, investment means choosing to nurture something that may not show immediate results but will grow in meaningful, lasting ways. It’s the steady, intentional commitment to healing, growth, and connection. Investment is saying, “This matters enough to give it time, energy, and care.” We see mental health the same way, not as a quick fix, but as something cultivated with patience and compassion.

2. What are the most important things we can invest in to develop healthier, more sustainable perspectives?

The most important investments are self-awareness, supportive relationships, and intentional reflection. When we invest in understanding our patterns, our stories, and our nervous systems, we begin to respond to life instead of simply reacting to it. Investing in community and safe relationships also helps us hold perspective during hard seasons. Growth is rarely isolated, it’s relational.

3. What are the biggest challenges or barriers to people investing in mental health, and what does Curated Health do to support people in overcoming these challenges?

Time, stigma, financial concerns, and fear of vulnerability are some of the biggest barriers. Many people were never taught that caring for their mental health is both necessary and worthy of attention.

At Curated Health, we work to reduce those barriers by creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment where people feel seen and understood. We offer individualized care, immediate availability when possible, and both therapy and psychiatric services so clients can receive coordinated, thoughtful support. Most importantly, we meet people exactly where they are without shame.

4. When it comes to mental health, how does investing in therapy benefit the individual?

Therapy provides space to slow down, reflect, and untangle the experiences that shape our daily lives. When individuals invest in therapy, they often gain clarity, emotional regulation skills, stronger boundaries, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Over time, this investment builds resilience. It allows people to navigate stress, relationships, and transitions with greater steadiness and confidence.

5. How does investing in therapy benefit friends and family?

Healing is rarely contained to one person. When someone learns to communicate more effectively, regulate emotions, or set healthy boundaries, those shifts positively impact the people

around them. Families often experience more openness, reduced conflict, and increased empathy. Investing in one person’s growth often strengthens the entire relational system.

6. What are some of the most important lessons you’ve learned from Curated Health’s investment in people?

We’ve learned that people are incredibly resilient when given consistent support and space to grow. We’ve learned that small, steady changes often create the most sustainable transformation. And we’ve learned that when individuals feel truly seen, not rushed, labeled, or reduced to symptoms, healing deepens in powerful ways.

7. What do you invest in outside of work for mental clarity, peace, and sanity?

Outside of work, investing in rest, connection, time outdoors, and meaningful relationships is essential. Mental clarity isn’t just about productivity, it’s about rhythm and balance. Making space for joy, reflection, and presence helps sustain the work we do and keeps us grounded in the same principles we encourage for our clients.

8. How does Curated Health invest in the community of Springdale?

Curated Health invests in Springdale by providing accessible, compassionate mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. We collaborate with families, schools, and local providers to strengthen the support network around each client. Beyond services, we strive to normalize conversations about mental health and reduce stigma so that seeking help feels like strength, not weakness.

9. How does the community of Springdale invest in Curated Health?

The community invests in us through trust. Families refer loved ones. Providers collaborate with us. Clients share their stories and allow us the privilege of walking alongside them. That trust is something we never take lightly. Community partnership makes our work possible.

10. If there was any message you could communicate with the rest of the community — or the rest of the world — based on what you do at Curated Health, what would that be?

You are not broken. You are not behind. And you are not alone. Healing is not about perfection, it’s about courage, connection, and support. Investing in your mental health is not indulgent; it’s foundational. When individuals choose to care for their inner world, entire families and communities grow stronger.

ASHLEY CERDA

Ashley has worked in substance abuse and mental health treatment for over a decade. She has passionately trained and developed specialties in addictions, eating disorders, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and now hypnotherapy. Ashley enjoys the process of working with her clients to develop positive changes in their world, believing in the power of positive therapist-client relationships to impact change.

Redefining MVP: TIM TEBOW’S LIFE BEYOND FOOTBALL

An exclusive Q&A with City Lifestyle

ARTICLE BY ANGELA BROOCKERD

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

From championship trophies to global humanitarian impact, Tim Tebow’s journey has defied every standard playbook. In an exclusive conversation for the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Tebow pulls back the curtain on the moments that truly defined him, from a humbling middle school church retreat to the life-altering shift of fatherhood. This isn’t just a look back at a career; it’s an invitation into the heart of a man driven by purpose. Read the highlights below, then join us for the full, unfiltered experience by scanning the QR code at the end.

Q: WE ALL KNOW YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, BUT TELL US ABOUT THE CURL CONTEST.

A: I was competing for my future high school team (my brother’s team), and I pushed myself way past what was smart. I ended up collapsing and needing medical attention. But what stayed with me wasn’t the pain, it was the lesson. Would I be willing to do something that others aren’t? For much of my life, I strived to bring my best for a game, but I hope that I can say at the end of my life I was willing to do that for things that actually matter.

Q: YOU’VE ACHIEVED SO MUCH IN SPORTS. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT NOW?

A: Becoming a dad. Nothing compares. From the moment I knew my wife was pregnant, I felt a new depth of love for our child, but when you bring your baby home, the responsibility hits you like nothing else. Suddenly, everything you see, every decision you make, you’re asking, “Is this corner too sharp? What happens if she reaches that drawer?” It changes how you see the world and how you see other people.

Q: YOU’VE SPOKEN OPENLY ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENT, ESPECIALLY AROUND FOOTBALL. HOW DID THAT SEASON OF LIFE SHAPE YOU?

A: I talked a lot about that very thing in my book Shaken . We all go through moments where our faith in our abilities and purpose feels rattled, but I believe it’s often in those storms when God can show us who we could become.

Q: YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT COMPARISON CULTURE. WHY DO YOU BELIEVE COMPARISON HAS BECOME SUCH A TRAP TODAY?

A: Because we’re comparing our real, everyday lives to someone else’s highlight reel. Social media shows people’s “best day,” often filtered and staged, and then we measure our reality against that. There’s a reason filters are so popular—it’s not real. We end up scrolling through images that don’t tell the full story, and without realizing it, comparison starts to steal our joy and our gratitude.

“We’re comparing our real, everyday lives to someone else’s highlight reel... comparison starts to steal our joy.”

Q: YOUR FOUNDATION FOCUSES ON THE “MOST VULNERABLE.” WHERE DID THAT CALLING BEGIN?

A: When I was 15, I met a boy in the Philippines who was treated as a throwaway because he was born with physical differences. That moment changed me. I realized God was calling me to pursue a different kind of MVP, not “Most Valuable Player,” but “Most Vulnerable People.”

Q: FINALLY, WHAT’S ONE THING PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

A: I have some weird coffee habits, which include protein powder, collagen, and cream all mixed together. I love golf dates with my wife. And every night, I bring snacks to bed to share with our dogs. It brings me more joy than it probably should.

This conversation barely scratches the surface. Tim goes deeper into the moments that rattled him, the joys of fatherhood, and one story he has never shared publicly until now. Scan the QR code for the full, exclusive City Lifestyle interview on Share the Lifestyle Podcast.
