WESTSIDE — We wanted to know how folks in our community think, so just for fun, the editorial staff of the Siloam Springs Herald-Leader and the Westide Eagle WOberver offered a “20 Questions” survey recently.
The questions were mostly fun and light-hearted, with a few important issues thrown in for good measure. Although we weren’t able to survey nearly as many people as we wanted to, those who were kind enough to answer gave us a good overview about what our communities are thinking.
