Well, for one thing - It's a stretch to call Fayetteville 'Southern'.

That's a fair point.

Also, Bentonville is not a southern town, and I say that as someone who lives here. It's basically southern Missouri with an Ohio dialect. Waaaaaaay too many non-Southern transplants and northerners to be considered Southern.

I'm from East Arkansas, and everywhere I go around here people (especially locals) will say things like "you don't sound like you're from around here." My tongue-in-cheek response is always "I'm from the real part of Arkansas."
