re: Just booked my trip to Fayetteville....

---

LR - RiverMarket, Arkansas River, govt jobs, medical centers, RiverFest, slightly better national touring acts, closer to duck hunting, good public schools in burbs.

FYV - Dickson, Ozarks, U of A, Wal-Mart vendor community, Bikes Booze & BBQ, Buffalo River (1hr), Mulberry Mtn music park (40 mins), good public schools in town, The Razorbacks.

FYV wins, for me, for now.

I hate to keep vouching for Little Rock, because my love for both places is about equal...but NWA people always get it wrong.

The national touring acts are better exponentially. Outside of university/Wal-Mart events, there basically aren't any in NWA. And if you are going to include the Buffalo, you have to include the fact that Little Rock has access to some of the most beautiful lakes in the country, all w/in an hour.


And I, for one, am not a huge fan of Bikes Blues and BBQ. It's basically the state fair, except with bikers instead of white trash from podunk. I always made a point to either be out of town or completely away from Dickson on that weekend.

Oh, and the golf is much better in Little Rock, especially if you can afford to join a country club (I can't).
