re: What are your geographic boundaries for the South?

Nah, it really isn't. Bentonville has to be one of the nicest towns in the "south", and it's getting better by the day.

I went to the North Forest Lights at Crystal Bridges last night. After dinner at Tavola and drinks at Fiamma. Bentonville is like a big city in small-town form. Crystal Bridges is a world-class museum (no, really), in a big city botanical garden setting, with mountain biking shooting off from it in a couple directions. It's hard to accurately describe what Bentonville has become. Homes downtown start around $500k now. There are streets that feel like Brooklyn, and parts that feel like you're in a ski-town. There really isn't anything else like Bentonville.

Seriously, the culture we get in NWA for a metro of 500k is pretty killer. Walmart money (and Tyson and JB Hunt) buys a lot of cool toys.
