Nope, but I've consulted owners on how to renovate said building/s and people are paying a premium to occupy/drink/eat at these new establishments.

Go build barb wired fences and eat your red lobster, Dale.

You mentioned Mills. How the frick do you think they got players over certain schools? You are a fraud and an idiot on LR basketball.

I would pick 10 people from this thread and would bet 100 dollars more than...1 of you couldn't drive me to mills shite I went there and forget which exit to take.

Plenty of money in Little Rock.
Still the center of business, media and government in Arkansas.
Always will be.

Yeah..

Little Rock metro areas: in 2000, 610,518 population.. in 2016, est. 734,622

Fayetteville metro areas: in 2000, 347,045, in 2016 est. 525,032


Little Rock and its surrounding have been eclipsed as the area of primary importance in Arkansas. While the state government is still there, the focus of business is now in Northwest Arkansas. There is more money and a faster growing population there.

GDP 2016 (in millions):

Little Rock/NLR/Conway - 37,796

Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers - 26,764

It's a lot easier to have more growth when you're starting from a substantially lower point.

GDP per capita is higher in NWA, but saying there is more money in NWA is not only incorrect, it's not even close to being true.

To put on perspective, NWA would have to grow at 5% for 9 years to reach LR levels. That's assuming LR stays at 0% growth.

Keep in mind that in the last 15 years, NWA's highest growth rate was 7% one year. In that same time period, LR hit 8% twice.

LR>>>> NWA
