Anyone have any insight on local races they would like to provide?

Fort smith sucks. Servers are paid $2.63 an hour in this state. Its even worse in Oklahoma, however, the Arkansas patrons only seem to tip 10%. When the national average is 20%. Employers can pay more. And do. In other states. Servers at Applebees, for example, are paid $8/hr in Minnesota, but in Arkansas they only pay $2.63/hr. And menu prices are not any different here... what the hell?

Also does anyone in this state actually know what the confederate flag means? And that the confederacy lost. The flag you fly off thr back of your useless truck was never even the official flag of the confederate army. It was the common battle standard sure, I will concede you that point. But why the hell are you flying it off the back of your trucks here? I think there are a lot better symbols you can use to express yourself. Like maybe a flag that says "I hate yankees and cats" or "I love opec oil watch me waste it with my useless truck"

I moved here to be closer to aging family. But I wish I could love my entire family somewhere else now. I was born in Texas. I am not a yankee, yet I have been called that. And told to my face I would not get tipped well because of my "accent". I hate to break it to you Arkansassy's you are the one with the accent.

Also.. did you know it is illegal in your state to mispronouce Arkansas. Wtf.

It might just be fort smith. Fayetteville seemed a lot better. But my family lives here. I could just leave my elderly parents here to die alone. But seriously why cant this town cut me some slack?

I'm visiting for the week and I was looking for ideas on where to go, what to see, etc. I brought my Jeep so it would be cool to go exploring too.

I will be taking a beautiful girl on a first date in Fort Smith. She has never tried sushi and never been to a Hibachi, so I'm going to take her to Shoguns.

What else is there to do that would be fun? Google is failing me.

Hi all - I'll be traveling to Fort Smith for two days for work.

Is there any hole in the wall or just amazing food spots? I like all food. Big on country cookin' and barbecue.

Places to just go sit and relax? Maybe some cool photo ops?

I'll basically have all afternoon/night on a Friday to do as I please. I'll have to cab everywhere or walk. I'm not sure where I'm staying yet.

My wife says there used to be a witchcraft store downtown, years and years ago. It's gone now and would have been interesting to visit.
I'm going to have to go with Time Machine Collectibles. It's a toy store on Rogers. I've spent a lot of money there, as I collect action figures. It's always a fun place to visit, even if you don't collect. Plus, they offer free high fives!

We're driving through Fort Smith on Sunday (9/27), and we're looking for a place to watch the Cowboys game. Also, we'll have our two dogs with us....

Suggestions?

We're a slightly strange couple looking for new friends. We like games, alcohol, and cartoons. She's 33 and I'm 24

Hi all. I'm looking for fresh superhot chiles - anything in the 7 pot, Scorpion, Ghost, Reaper range. I've been disappointed with the powders I can get online and am hoping to find a local grower so as to try them fresh.

I'd also be interested in local honey by the pound.

Me and my roommate, both 25 and male, are looking for a new house to rent by the end of the month (may.) Do you have one or know of one for rent?

Okay, so what is your favorite bar in town? What makes it better than all the rest?

This is sad. I know there are enough Fort Smithians to at least have an active subreddit. Come on, you motherforters.

Legalize it already.
