It’s not every day that Facebook lights up with praise instead of complaints, but one recent post from a Conway resident did exactly that — and neighbors were quick to pile on the gratitude.

On April 22, a local resident took to Facebook to give a shoutout to utility workers toiling late into the night on Favre Street. Her post read:

“To the men tonight out working on Favre — thank you for being out there in the middle of the night to keep our electricity going. You are seen and appreciated!”

That simple message struck a chord.


⚡ Late-Night Repairs, Big-Hearted Responses

Favre Street had been experiencing utility issues earlier in the week, prompting emergency work during the evening hours. While such repairs can be inconvenient, most residents shared sentiments of support.

“They were out there when I drove by at 10:30 p.m., still working hard!” one commenter wrote.
“Much love to our Entergy crews — I know they’ve been stretched thin lately,” added another.

While the exact nature of the issue wasn’t officially detailed, many assumed it was related to post-storm maintenance or aging infrastructure repairs.
