Arkansas residents across the state continue to recover from last weekend’s massive winter storm.

On this edition of Ozarks, what happens when snow and ice force a college to re-schedule finals…including putting finals after commencement? We'll talk to Ray Wallace with the University of Arkansas Fort Smith about how an ice storm can create problems with an academic calendar. And coffee isn't just for breakfast anymore…it's also for a canvas. We'll talk to some people making art out of coffee. And a conversation with Devon Powers. She's written about communication, social media and the commentary economy. She spoke on the University of Arkansas campus recently.

Ahead on this edition of Weekend Ozarks, the cajun-zydeco group, Snake Eyes and the Bug Band, will perform this afternoon at the Fayetteville Public Library' we hear a conversation and a song from the band, and it's sort of like soccer but on horseback: polo in Bentonville. Plus, we celebrate the horse in our Sunday Morning Montage.
Here are the ten clips for our montage dedicated to streets, roads and avenues:
1. Nat King Cole gets us started with Route 66.
2. Gloria Swanson as the doomed Nora Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.
3. U2 sings Where the Streets Have No Name.
4. Michael Douglas as Gordon Gecko in Wall Steet.
5. Bruce Springsteen sings 10th Avenue Freeze Out.
6. Michael Conrad offers his end-of-meeting statement on Hill Street Blues.
7. The opening theme, of course, from Sesame Street.
8. Part of the trailer from the original Nightmare on Elm Street.
9. Jack Kerouac reads from the last page of On the Road.
10. Willie is On the Road Again.
