Starting your medical career soon? You may not have to wait to buy a home.

If you're a future physician or medical professional with a signed employment contract, you may be able to qualify for a home loan before your first day on the job.

Instead of waiting for your first paycheck, our Medical Professional Home Loan program can help eligible borrowers purchase a home using their upcoming employment as part of the qualification process.

That means you can:
✔️ Get settled before your new position begins.
✔️ Skip the stress of moving after you start work.
✔️ Focus on your patients—not finding a place to live.

Your career is already taking off. Let us help you find a home that's ready when you are.

📲 Contact FirstTrust Home Loans to see if you qualify.

The Big Dam Bridge in Little Rock is the longest bridge in North America built specifically for people on foot and on bikes.

It stretches 4,226 feet across the Arkansas River, riding on top of Murray Lock and Dam No. 7. Cars have never crossed it. Neither have trains. That is what earns it the record.

The deck sits about 90 feet above the river and 30 feet above the dam. It is 14 feet wide and holds more than 3 million pounds of steel. Eight observation areas let you stop and take in the view.

And that name? It came from a slip of the tongue that stuck. Pulaski County Judge Buddy Villines, frustrated over financing, told a quorum court session, "We're going to build that dam bridge." The span was supposed to be called the Murray Bridge. Nobody remembers that now.

It opened Sept. 30, 2006, after about eight years of planning and construction. The price tag came in around $12.8 million.

Today it links Murray Park in Little Rock to Cook's Landing Park in North Little Rock and anchors the Arkansas River Trail. Every September it hosts the Big Dam Bridge 100, the state's biggest cycling tour.
