That is pure silliness. For retailers like Gucci, Armani, and Louis Vuitton to locate in Rogers there would have to be a much higher population with money than there currently is. Yes, NWA has money, but not enough people with it to support retail rivaling Rodeo Drive.

I'm afraid you under-estimate the kind of spending power here.

You're not going to want to hear this, but Pulaski county (LR) has over twice the spending power (as of 2007) of Benton and Washington counties combined, and yet Pulaski county doesn't have the spending power to support Rodeo Drive league retailers. NWA doesn't have the regional draw either that a real city has.

I agree. Only one county in Arkansas (Pulaski) has a per capita income above the national average, and our state is in the lower 40s. It doesn't keep me from loving living here, though.

Some Northwest Arkansans are so out of touch with reality that it literally makes me "laugh out loud" sometimes. I was talking to a guy from Rogers a while back that said that they are likely getting a Rolls Royce dealership up there soon because Northwest Arkansas is so wealthy. I sometimes wonder if some of these people ever leave that little corner of the state...

Hmm the nearest Rolls Royce dealerships are in Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta. Somehow I don't think Rogers, Arkansas fits the pattern.

How much spending power do you think a person has with 3000-5000 acres and 500-800 head of cattle?

I know more than a couple of folks like that, and we're just a drop in the bucket.

When you can buy a $150,000 combine, and write a check for it, I'm thinking that's "spending power".

These folks do take vacations and go shopping around the state occasionally.

Rogers, Bentonville, or Bella Vista are great places to live! I lived in Rogers ten years, and Bentonville for another ten years, and they are both great places to live. The schools were excellent, in my opinion, and it is just an all around great area to live in. Best of luck

[mod cut] Just a reminder to all...

In the future, all posts regarding anything about Zinc, Harrison in the sense of it being the headquarters for the KKK, the leaders, the ones who say they are KKK and the Who-done-it boys will be deleted as off topic if it isn't the subject of the original poster's question. We can't get to the real meat of things for this coming up all the time. People with questions will be pointed to the search feature - there's plenty 'nuff been said.

If it makes the news, that's one thing...but we're rehashing the same stuff.
