My list of things to know about Fayetteville?

#1. It is the 3rd largest city in Arkansas, which ofcourse doesn't say much.

#2. If you're going to live in Arkansas..

Fayetteville and Bentonville are the two places to do it.

#3. If you want to make enemies, get out..

Because enemies are all you will have here.

#4. Man up and take charge of yourself...

Think...

Because Little Rock, West Memphis, Fayetteville, Bentonville and Springdale do NOT have political control of the state of Arkansas.

#5. This part of the country is only one generation out of dirt roads, beans, rice and cornbread..

And a lot of political, economic and social immaturity exists.

Don't expect that your job is done when your kid gets on the school bus.

It's only just begun, because your kid can end up as a really bad dummy.

And because of the size of this place, your kid getting expelled or suspended from school is a very big deal.

It doesn't have the resources to just send kids to a different school.

#6. This place is woefully over-policed through a combination of law enforcement resources considering a population of about 100,000 people.

#7. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, and don't eat fast food and don't drink soda..

Go to the gym, and go to the family doctor, get vaccinated and go to the Dentist regularly...

You can't afford bad health here.

#8. There both is, and isn't public transportation here.

:)

So in many ways, this place is not a joke.
