Hmmm. This is an odd thread.
We had a brewery sponsored pub crawl.
And today = Texas Independence Day festivities.
All you Hawgs & Rebs are welcome to join.

I don't recall TID celebrations when I lived in Dallas.I must have missed them. I've been to the San Jacinto monument tho. I even found angles from which to photograph it that did not include refineries and power lines in the background.

Honestly, that's a really cool monument. Its an enormous art deco obelisk, which for the architectural part of my brain just about makes me JIMP. Its awesome.

This creates problems as we (south Louisiana) have already given you most of north Louisiana. Extreme NE Louisiana was removed from all records and absorbed into the Landmass.

I'm not even sure there's a legitimate 2nd place, maybe somewhere in the delta like Forrest City or West Memphis.
Pine Bluff is like Secretariat at Belmont - there really isn't a second place.

Never understood why so many outsiders in our own state think Fayetteville is some sort of hippie town. There are far and away more sorostitutes and fratdaddies than there are hippies.
As for your other remark, touché. There are a ton of yankees here. Quite literally everyone I work with is from Ohio, Michigan, KC or the NE.

The townie component of Fayetteville is the hippie part. We got lots of "back to the earth" types from this region in the 60s-70s and they put down roots. A glance at the super-progressive vs. uber-progressive choice dichotomy for city mayor we face every single time is evidence.
The last "semi-conservative" mayoral candidate in Fayetteville was Fred Hannah in the mid 90s. Its always a choice between who can out-recycle, out-gay pride parade, and out "urban agriculture" each other.
When Dan Coody is considered the "pro-development devil" (where he'd be the most liberal/prog mayor in any other city in four adjacent states), that says something about the city. LINK

True, but that dichotomy seems to be changing to a degree, at least as it pertains to just being around town. I think it'll shift more as more graduates stay in the area and professionals choose Fayetteville over the faceless developments outside of B-ville (full disclosure - I live in one).
It seems like all of the native Arkansans I work with live in Fayetteville while the transplants and yankees live north of Springdale.

I agree Fayetteville isn't as "hippie-driven" as it was 10 years ago. Its grown a lot. I have thought for a while now that the influx of Collin County kids from DFW have made the U of A and Fayetteville less "liberal Democrat" than it used to be.
I don't identify with either side of that coin. The far lefties in this city piss me off as often as the conservative McMansion dwellers. Streamside protection, agonizing over "workforce housing" and building trails at the expense of other things...I don't even recycle anymore. I was a Coody supporter. Google Aubrey Shepherd if you want to see the main aging hippie activist that pisses me off the most in Fayetteville. There are folks like him (lots of them) who would stop any and all development in Fayetteville if they could. I think they live in fantasy-land.
His latest cause appears to be outlawing garbage disposals in Fayetteville to serve water quality.

Actually, Eureka Springs, AR has a pretty decent mardi gras considering it's a small town. they gay it up quite a bit, which of course makes it more dramatic and exciting.

This city has put up roadblocks to some really cool developments in the name of environmental concerns. I think its a red herring for people who wish Fayetteville was the 40,000 pop town it was in the '80s. It isn't, and it isn't going back.
