This contains some good information for people on the fence about coming to Bentonville.

City Spotlight: It's No Longer Mr. Sam's Bentonville | News - Advertising Age

Quote:
It was a similar story for another New Yorker, Mark Levine, who first came to Bentonville 20 years ago as part of one of the first marketing shops in town, representing Fuji Film. He had to go online to a dating site run by AOL to find a Jewish woman in town -- she later became his wife. Then, 10 years ago, he helped start Bentonville's first synagogue.
"The joke is that people scratch on their way here to stay out," Mr. Levine said, "and then scream and yell on their way out because they don't want to leave."

Thanks for the very good information. I think it is important for people to realize just how diverse NWA is and yet, still has that little bit or in some cases; lot of rural feeling. When we made our decision, it was based on the compensation of rural and urban. We got down to Grove, OK and here. Grove is s great little town and I am sure we would have been happy there, but it is really country. We were both pretty much raised as city people, especially me and had lived in some pretty urban areas, like Dallas, DC and throughout Ca. We knew we couldn't go to country.

One of the nice things about living here, you can do it "your way".

This is why I am moving here. It has what I need, and not much that I don't want to put up with to get it.
