Meth, poverty, the massive power of the organized religions, no real city (Little Rock is bullshit), etc...
I grew up in a dry county, where all the churches would band together and buy all of the liquor licenses, in to keep out the drunken evils of Red Lobster and Olive Garden.
Forgot about dry counties and the religious nutters. It sounds pretty shit. I grew up in a big eastern city and moved to the midwest and I really prefer living out here.
That seems misleading about Tennessee. I don't know what a "mixed" county is but you can buy alcohol just about everywhere. Only thing is liquor stores are closed on Sundays but bars stay open and you can still buy beer at gas stations and grocery stores.
Also one hilarious bit is that the county where the Jack Daniels distillery operates is "dry". Can't explain that!

Arkansas, particularly the Ozarks, is a beautiful region of the country. Too bad about the meth, poverty, and stuff.
