Graduated from UofA Fayetteville and after spending time in Oklahoma and Houston now living out in the country near Clarksville.
Close enough to the river to hear the barges on the river all night long and the duck hunters are blasting away at daylight!!
8 mile drive just to get gas and beer but only have two neighbors!!

LOL, dude, Tyson has a plant in Clarksville, been there many times. That company alone made me my first mil, I know the locale like the back of my hand. Some of their corporate folks went to Arkansas so every time I went to Springdale for sales meetings, we always congregated in Fayetteville for dinner/drinks/etc. I even made it to their rendering plant in Scranton on more than one occasion, right on the Arkansas. Damn place was nasty as hell, but I've got pretty thick skin, LOL.

This is an honest-to-God true story. I sold them some serious equipment on a plant upgrade back in the 90's, and yes, the place stinks, no other word to describe it, that's why the purchasing agents loved me, I was a rare breed that actually came to visit them. Anyway, most of my work with them went through Springdale corporate. So I sell them well over a couple million bucks of equipment on this project and I gotta be there for the start-up. They gave me a Tyvek suit to wear while we firing up the new equipment, but this awfall is just splashing all over my ass (hence the Tyvek suit). We spend 12 hours on the start-up....Day 1. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn in Russellville, I walk in to check in, and I cleared out the lobby. Of course I know what's up, so after getting my stuff into the room, I head to a laundromat with my clothes, and I shit you not, I cleared out the laundromat. This gal that reminded me of Aunt Jemima comes up to me on her way out and says...."Lord honey, you smells bad." I've never forgotten that ordeal. Yeah, small world and I've seen half of it.
