It’s kind of a mixed bag politically but sure beats living within smell of Chicago. Seriously, I live 5 miles from the AR state line in OK. If I didn’t already live here, I’d live in NW Arkansas.

Years ago when our plant started up, we had people from Texas move into the area in Oklahoma. They were so glad to get their children out of TEXAS schools and into good Oklahoma schools.
Meanwhile, people in Oklahoma were doing all they could to get their kids out of Oklahoma schools and into good Arkansas schools.
60 years ago this area of Arkansas was full of inbred backward hicks who tried to keep the area culturally back in the 1930s. Thankfully those old codgers have died off an a new breed of people is moving our area well into the 21 the century.
