When a passerby insists on pronouncing the state one way, a single resolution from the 1880s stands between history and habit. This episode opens with that small-but-stubborn decision — a deliberate choice to honor French spelling and Quapaw heritage that turned pronunciation into law.From there we chase the folklore: bans on blue light bulbs and teachers punished for bobbed hair. Those stories smell like the kind of municipal overreach that thrived in the early 20th century — real in places, exaggerated in the telling. The narrative follows the trail from rumor to record, separating theatrical claims from likely local ordinances.Finally, the story lands at the most prosaic truth: Arkansas does regulate what you sell at the roadside stand. Permits, safe handling and honest labeling make for less glamorous but far more enforceable rules. Arkansas, say it right, read the sign, and wash your melons.
