<p>Talicia Richardson calls herself a &quot;replant,&quot; not a transplant — after 20 years away in Phoenix, Lexington, Dallas, and Atlanta, she and her husband moved back home to Fort Smith to be near family. Hosts Emily Horn and Joe Cline talk with Talicia about going from a &quot;taker&quot; in other cities to a builder and creator in Fort Smith, from neighborhood block parties in the Belle Grove Historic District to over a decade on the school board and rebranding 646 into Main Street Fort Smith. She also shares the food, murals, and community discoveries that surprised her most, then closes with her can&#39;t-miss, three-day itinerary for anyone visiting Fort Smith. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>#DiscoverFortSmith #FortSmithArkansas #FortSmithLeaders</p>
