You must not be very familiar with blue blood south Arkansas. We relate more to the deep south in many ways. Big city snobs don't have shite on us. Our specialty is being as condescending and back handed as possible while looking one in the eye, smiling sweetly the entire time. We can also cuss like sailors when circumstances warrant.
It's a gift.

One of the little rock stations was advertising an upcoming bit they're doing on two dudes from Pine Bluff that were doing work to turn their hometown around. (Added just to give wmr the heebie jeebies.)

Correct, because we have indoor plumbing.

This hasn't got a damn thing to do with the 'GSD'.
It has everything to do with a bunch of (in their mind) 'better than thou' SW Missouri...excuse me, Northwest Arkansas, isolated snobs. NWA can KMA. Go join Kansas or something.

You need the money produces from the businesses in NWA to fund your portion of the state.
NWA leaves, you are back to outhouses, dirt roads, and running water as a luxury...

I'm down! Always good to put a little gravel in my travel.....minus the whole outhouse part though.

Thanks, piggi. You're awesome, too.
It's ok, though. I don't sweat the youngsters' comments on this silly subject. I'm pretty comfortable with my level of intelligence as well as my ability to be a snotty, condescending bitch when necessary.
I do find the big city vs. small town argument rather odd considering that in the state of Arkansas, if one is not from Little Rock, proper, he is most definitely not from a big city, and so what? Maybe the juniors will learn as they mature that it is not where one originates that is important; rather it is what one accomplishes while striving to remain a decent human being that is. I, for one, am very happy that I was raised in a small town where values, morals, a good work ethic, and sense of community were instilled in all from a very young age. I believe those small town fundamentals kept me grounded as a young adult when I went to college, then moved on to true "big cities."
Anyway, this "argument," particularly when applied to Arkansas, is ridiculous, and a waste of energy, imo, so that's all I'm going to say about the subject since I'm on my way to New Orleans today and am already running late. (I believe that's considered a rather big city by most standards.)
Oh, but one more thing to Stonehog and Dale pertaining to their indoor plumbing comments. One of my family's homes in Mississippi does have a few functioning outhouses, preserved for historical reasons. They are really quite interesting and quaint, like stepping back in time, but my family in south Arky opted for indoor plumbing, copper pipes and everything, when I was growing up there. And, Dale, I don't know about the rest of the region of southern Arkansas, but growing up, my area did not rely on shite from NWA, or anywhere else, for that matter, considering my hometown was the location for one of the largest manufacturing complexes of its kind in the world for over a half of a century, and employed several thousand people from across the region. We did our part for the state's economy. My grandfather was the general manager of that complex for many years, so I was fortunate (or not) to get to hear the inside scoop on the matter, ad nauseum, at countless family gatherings at the dinner table or sitting on the front porch.
Anyway, y'all have a good day and try not to argue over non-productive issues so much. Maybe concentrate your energy on sending good vibes to the Hogs in their effort to get a victory over Auburn this week. That's the one game we MUST win, imo, mainly because I hate, truly hate, them.
GO HOGS & WPS!!!

What town?

I also find it quite humorous that a significant percentage of the NWA population are transplants. I happen to know MANY from South Arkansas transferred there because of jobs. Yet you are still, in your own mind, "Better than us". A lot of you WERE us and moved..... stop hatin......
this is another reason why we suck. Friggin fan base can't get along. This is why I get tired of message boards......

Where are you pigglicious? N, Central or neither?
Posted on 10/29/13 at 11:47 am to DC RaiseHerBack
i'm in russellville now, grew up in motown and lived in conway for several years too- so i guess you'd refer to me as central.
Posted on 10/29/13 at 11:54 am to piggilicious
We have to meet up sometime
Posted on 10/29/13 at 11:57 am to DC RaiseHerBack
yes, that would be great.

SWAT training at WMS this morning... most firepower the Old Grey Lady will see all season. H/t to Forbidden Hillcrest.
I hate that some (SOME) from NWA feel the need to look down upon the rest of the state. I am in CA, and I love Little Rock AND NWA. I actually have season tickets to Fayetteville and not Little Rock. Never fail to have a good time at either place.
There are a lot of folks with a lot of money and a lot of intelligence in smalltown Arkansas. And as has been mentioned, a lot of folks with a lot of money in NWA that are FROM smalltown Arkansas. People should remember and be proud of their roots, in my opinion. I grew up a Lower
Arkansan, and I cherish that part of the state, even if it's not the right place for me to live out this part of my life.

To be clear, I <3 ALL of Arkansas. There is something special in almost every region of it.
Just don't understand the "in-fighting." Very strange.
