Breaux Bridge vs. Hot Springs
Breaux Bridge, the "Crawfish Capital of the World" since 1959, is a cool little Cajun town that is host to the world famous "Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival" which brings in tens of thousands of people every year, which is a pretty big deal down here ...

... and is also home to Ali Landry - model, actress, & former Miss USA 1996. She was also married to Mario Lopez ("Saved Bt The Bell") for about 10 days.
But, honestly, it doesn't compare to Hot Springs; it shouldn't even be close.
Monroe vs. Fayetteville
Ironic.
I might know a little about those places, considering I grew up right "on top" of one, and went to school in the other.
Fayetteville should win this easily, so I don't understand how Monroe is leading.
I will say, Monroe still has one of my favorite restaurants ever, the Mohawk, where I ate my first oysters, and have been eating them ever since. Even taking into account New Orleans restaurants, Mohawk has the best oysters I've ever eaten.

This may sound ridiculous, but I wouldn't doubt that Monroe is leading partially because it gets name recognition from Duck Dynasty (I know, it's in Left Monroe).
I wouldn't doubt a few people look at that and think, "hey, that's where they film Duck Dynasty. It must be a cool town!" and select it. Heck, just look at Funroe's Wikipedia page:
quote:
Despite its relatively small size, Monroe suffers from higher than average levels of crime and poverty. Some studies have placed Monroe within the top 100 most dangerous cities in America for crime rates, and the 6th poorest city (per capita) in America. It was ranked 3rd worst small city for crime (among cities whose populations are less than 200,000).
Yikes
