About 40 years ago I visited my aunt and uncle in Springdale Arkansas. My cousins got me in the car and we went on a back road trip up into the Ozarks. It looked like Deliveramce up there. I’ve been back there quite a few times since then and it’s better but you get on some of the back roads and it’s still visible.
Now the area around Bentonville looks great.
“Evil” WalMart has done a nice job of building prosperity there.
