NW Arkansas is more Midwest/Great Plains then anything else. Its not bad, in fact NW Arkansas is a wonderful place to live, but its not really Southern any more.
I remember when I first started going fishing up there and was shocked by the way many of the people talked. It was clear they were Midwest/Rust Belt transplants.

It really is the Walmart/Tyson thing. People from all over the country have flocked to NW Arkansas, particularly from the Midwest and Rust Belt areas. Now NW Arkansas is just a wonderful place to live. It is amazing.
But when you meet folks whose families have lived in NW Arkansas for generations they sound nothing like a lot of the folks up there now.

You cannot get sweet tea north of Hot Springs and they eat rice for breakfast. That’s where I draw the line in Arkansas
