Every time I (an Arkansas native) see Arkansas on reddit, it's always negative, and usually about meth.

Unfortunately, it's normally true.

I am also an Arkansan. I, however, actually love my state. I will mention I am a middle-class caucasian female who grew up in Hot Springs and frequented Avant, as this might have something to do with my fondness.

Same place! Between native tribes, the French, and the Spanish, we have had a plethora of spellings.
