A Seat at the Table
A quick-fire Q&A with the people who make our town interesting, and six people they would invite to dinner.
Rae Hahn is a devoted Chicago Cubs and Bears fan who moved to Eureka Springs in 1977.
- In one sentence, why did you move here?
I fell in love and followed her here.
- How many times have you tripped or fallen on the streets of Eureka Springs?
Never.
- What’s your favorite comfort food?
Lox and bagels, no cream cheese.
- You’ve lived here for almost 50 years. What has kept you here?
Certainly not the ticks. Probably the support of a loving community.
- What’s your favorite website?
I have no idea. I don’t know anything about websites.
- Have you ever been on a dating site?
Yes, but all I get is sexting.
If you were hosting a dinner party, which six people—past or present—would you invite?
Elizabeth Taylor, Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King, Jr., Billie Jean King, Rachel Maddow and my mother, Sylvia.

One of my favorite people. I would invite Rae!
I believe she taught my GED class in berryville!
I’ve seen Rae around town and always admired all the rich character in her face. Even without knowing her personally, she inspires me to live whole heartedly.
Harry – you just can’t help yourself – you
always have to be the biggest asshole in the room
Rachel “Madcow” ! And come on, nobody is “sexting” you on a dating site!
I didn’t want it out since I’m a local small business owner but i sext Rae Hahn every Wednesday at noon.
LOL!
Rae is my hero, and one of the best friends I ever could imagine!!!!!
