MATFIELD GREEN — A groundbreaking ceremony marked the beginnings of The Green project — an initiative set to transform a vacant lot into a welcoming park and meeting space —
Originally opened by Mary and Austin Davis back in 1974, Taco Villa has served Russellville for generations. The edifice at 420 E. Fourth St. was built by Randy Talkington specifically for the Davises. When Mary became ill, Virgil "Tick" Spears bought the building and the business. He and his wife Betty kept it going until 2003. Today, Kit and Cindy Kitterman own the place and offer diners its original menu.
