That Is Interesting

    • 5 hours ago

    Lived in Arkansas for the first 22 years of my life. Lived in Fort Smith and Fayetteville. NWA might be arguably the best place to grow up in the country, perfect mix of southern and midwestern cultures. Spent many summers in the Ozarks and Ouachitas absolutely wearing them out with hiking, camping, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. What a wonderful place to call home. Living in Colorado now but I’ll always proudly call myself an Arkansan.

    One could argue Arkansas has the most state patriotism second to Texas in the US. Just ask your average Arkansan, we’re a proud damn people.

    Use to live in this state. So glad I left. Yes cost of living is cheap, but that's bc nothings pays a living wage. The road system is terrible. The police are racist and ignorant as can be. The politicians are super corrupt, fome the the lowest city official to the governor. Don't forget about Little Rock is one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Plus the state has one of the biggest meth problems out of all the states. I could go on for days about this state. But trust me, DO NOT make the mistake and move to this place. U will regret it almost instantly

    i'm a teenager from arkansas and i love this place so much. a lot of people my age talk about how much they hate it here and how much they want to leave but i love it here and i get excited that people are now slowly finally realizing how beautiful and kind this state is.

    Very cool video! Love how in depth you go, you even mentioned the reason my aunt from Hawaii moved here with some of her family, tyson lol. I didn't know there were more than just her family, I should ask her and her mom about that next time I visit Hawaii. That detail felt so specific to me it was surreal hearing you talk about it in a video about where I'm from.

    Great place to live if you like mountain biking and hiking! No state is perfect but there's enough wonderful qualities here for me. Calling it a hidden gem is quite poetic considering the relationship with diamonds.

    Americana Corporation? I've lived here for all of my 52 years and had to google them to find out who they are. You could have gone with Stephens Inc, Acxiom Corp, UAMS, Simmons Foods, Dillard's, or many others… Never heard of them, and they don't even appear in the list of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission's Top 100 list.

    Surprised he missed the first national river, the Buffalo. It's the closest thing to heaven on earth.
    Also he spoke about Hot Springs, but didn't mention the fact that spring training began there. A favorite place for Babe Ruth.
    But over all, he made me proud of my state.

    I can’t believe you took Hope off the map. Shame you ruined an otherwise good video.

    Your video is excellent, but for consistency, you should use the metro population figures for all the cities you compare. For instance, you applied metro area data to cities like Conway and those in Northwest Arkansas, but for Jonesboro, you cited only the city population. You mentioned that Jonesboro, including its suburbs, totals 73,000 people, which is inaccurate. Jonesboro alone has over 10,000 more people than that, and when including its surrounding suburbs, the population exceeds 135,000.
