LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Did You Know that Saturday is Arkansas' birthday? On June 15, 1836, we became the 25th state of the union.

On that day, we were in the process of giving ourselves quite a birthday present-the Old State House. While it wasn't yet completed, we had the audacity to begin building a state capitol building before we even joined the union.

"As Arkansas was about to become a state, the old statehouse had already been under construction for about three years," said Brooke Malloy, development director for the Old State House.

She also pointed out that Arkansas was poor back in the day, and as anyone who has worked with a contractor knows, when you run out of money, you cut corners. Bricks for the new state capitol were made onsite. You can still see some of them today in the museum, and those gleaming, white columns are actually bricks coated with plaster. It was called frontier engineering.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Investigators suspect that someone broke into units at the Riverdale Mini Storage facility in Little Rock Thursday morning, then set units on fire.

Sgt. Cassandra Davis with the Little Rock Police Dept. said the fire started about 4 a.m. at 1020 Jessie Road, off of Cantrell Road.

It appeared several of the units were broken into, as a chain link fence was cut and locks were forced open, according to Capt. Randy Hickman with the Little Rock Fire Dept. Davis said six storage units were broken into prior to unit 119 being set on fire. The fire caused damage to approximately 30 other units, which were either destroyed or damaged.

The storage unit does have security cameras and police are using them for their investigation. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
