This Is Arkansas: The Historic Mercy Hospital (Paris, Arkansas)
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Dr. John Charles Smith, the current of the old historic Mercy Hospital in Paris, Arkansas is searching for an individual or entity that might be interested in turning the old cherished hospital into a one-of-a-kind living medical museum...could it be YOU?
PLEASE NOTE:
The Mercy Hospital in Paris, Arkansas has a fully functioning alarm system, it is very heavily patrolled by the local police force on a both regular and highly frequent basis, and all of the residents in the neighborhoods surrounding the historic hospital also monitor the building very closely. All portions of this production were obtained and achieved with the full cooperation of the hospital's current owner, Dr. J.C. Smith, who graciously volunteered to stay with us and remain in our presence throughout the entire filming process.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
This Is Arkansas and the entire Blind Man's Bluff Productions team would like to thank Dr. J.C. Smith for all of his help, time, and assistance throughout this entire production process. Dr. J.C. Smith is the son of Dr. James Smith who himself was the son of Dr. James Arthur MacDaniel Smith. Dr. Arthur MacDaniel Smith and his brother, Dr. John James Smith, were the original Smith family doctors that located to Paris and built the Mercy Hospital.
HISTORY & BACKGROUND:
The Mercy Hospital in Paris, Arkansas first opened its doors in 1913. Built to by the brothers Dr. John James and Dr. Arthur MacDaniel Smith, the cherished hospital remained open for nearly 6 decades as it tended to the needs of countless Arkansans. In 1922 the Smith brother doctors built a 3 story annex onto the back of the original hospital structure in order to keep up with the growing population of Paris and Logan County and the increase in traffic that resulted from it. And in all, three generations of Smith family doctors would serve the Paris community and surrounding areas within the hallowed halls of the Mercy Hospital.
After 58 years of dedicated service to the Paris community, the Mercy Hospital finally closed its doors in 1971 and a new more modern hospital was constructed across town. The Mercy Hospital continued to stand, however. Built well and tended after in a loving fashion by the aging Smith family doctors and the community of Paris all around them, the old hospital continues to look much as it did back during its heyday so many decades and generations gone by. And while portions of the interior of the 100 year old building are showing signs of age and there are areas in an increasing need of repair, over-all the hospital remains in remarkable shape both inside and out. Much of the original and now antique hospital equipment and furnishings continue to rest in their original locations and remain in near-pristine shape. Indeed, many of the patients' rooms, doctors' offices, and other hospital work areas look very much as if the last person out simply turned out the lights and closed the door behind them.
Architecturally, the Smith Hospital is significant as an excellent and virtually unaltered example of an early twentieth-century hospital. Aside from reflecting the burgeoning demand for hospital care in only a ten year period, the expanded Smith Hospital reveals the increased proportions required by a modern hospital as well as the first exposure to a rural county of modern medical and technological advancements such as the X-ray room, laboratories, the electric elevator, etc. To a lesser degree, the hospital demonstrates the evolution of architectural styles from the earlier Plain Traditional/Colonial Revival style to the later Craftsman/Colonial Revival style, although the 1923 annex was undoubtedly designed to blend with the older structure in this regard. For all of these reasons, the Mercy Hospital has been placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
It is the heart-felt desire of Dr. J.C. Smith -- the last of the Smith family doctors and the final steward of the Smith family doctor legacy -- to find an individual or entity that might desire to convert the historic old hospital into what would truly become a one-of-a-kind medical/hospital museum. And this is a passion that the entire Paris community shares along with him, too. If you are interested in helping Dr. Smith and the entire Paris community out in this regard, if you know of somebody that might be, or if you simply have ideas that might be useful in this fashion, then please feel free to either contact the Paris Chamber of Commerce or to email us here at This Is Arkansas.

Thanks to all of the guys at Red House for being such great sports. Help em out by referring a friend in the High Point NC area, or drop by the store yourself to meet Richard, Johnny, and the gang!
To address any controversy around this video, watch our video response (or read the transcript below):
We knew this video was going to be controversial. Anytime race is discussed in any capacity, controversy ensues. The racial reconciliation concept was a joint effort between the Red House staff and us. They pointed out the fact that their employees and customer base were like the Rainbow Coalition, and we thought something with a comical racial reconciliation theme would be fun, as well as a conversation starter.
For those of you who think this video is racist, we'd like you to distinguish between racist and racial. Racism is hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. Racial is of, relating to, or based on a race. This video is very obviously racial as opposed to racist. This video doesn't promote or feature hatred or intolerance. Rather, it's the very opposite. This commercial promotes inclusion and reconciliation, if not in a comical way. To point out the obvious, the irony in this video is that it's completely ridiculous for people to relate furniture to their race. People of all colors are welcome at the Red House, which is something that is taken for granted today, but there was a time in the not-so-distant past during which things as simple as a water fountain were NOT for everyone.
If Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, or Dave Chappelle for that matter, were to address racial issues in a comical way (something that they all do VERY regularly), they would have pushed the envelope MUCH further.
Discussing race in the US is taboo. It always makes people feel uncomfortable. We think it's a shame that someone saying I'm white or I'm black creates such a stir. There are real cultural identities within different people groups, and these things should be celebrated and embraced, not swept under the rug.
This video is an attempt to use humor to spark a discussion about race issues, because we still have a long way to go.

SUMMARY
=======
Greensboro ( (listen); formerly Greensborough) is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is the 3rd-most populous city in North Carolina, the 68th-most populous city in the United States, and the county seat and largest city in Guilford County and the surrounding Piedmont Triad metropolitan region. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 269,666, and in 2015 the estimated population was 285,342. Three major interstate highways (Interstate 40, Interstate 85, and Interstate 73) in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina were built to intersect at this city.
In 1808, Greensborough (the spelling before 1895) was planned around a central courthouse square to succeed Guilford Court House as the county seat. The county courts were thus placed closer to the geographical center of the county, a location more easily reached at the time by the majority of the county's citizens, who depended on horse and foot for travel.
In 2003, the previous Greensboro – Winston-Salem – High Point metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was re-defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. This region was separated into the Greensboro–High Point MSA and the Winston-Salem MSA. The 2010 population for the Greensboro–High Point MSA was 723,801. The combined statistical area (CSA) of Greensboro–Winston-Salem–High Point, popularly referred to as the Piedmont Triad, had a population of 1,599,477.
Among Greensboro's many notable attractions, some of the most popular include the Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe water park, the Greensboro Science Center, the International Civil Rights Museum, the Weatherspoon Art Museum, the Greensboro Symphony, the Greensboro Ballet, Triad Stage, the Wyndham Golf Championship, the headquarters of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Greensboro Coliseum Complex which hosts various sporting events, concerts, and other events, the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the South Atlantic Baseball League, the Carolina Dynamo of the Premier Development Soccer League, the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League, the Greensboro Roller Derby, and the National Folk Festival.
