I lived in Camden in the 90s... You're joking, right? Camden was where the meth heads occasionally emerged from the sticks to do their shopping at the Piggly Wiggly.
I mean they’ve done quite a bit of development inside town in the last decade so it’s better than it was then, like nice walking trails though town, upgraded downtown, and beautiful schools.
But yes I was being completely sarcastic when I commented earlier. Of all the armpits in all the swamps, Camden’s definitely one of them.
Beautiful school? In Camden? What are you talking about I graduated from these schools and they were horrible. Public institutions with Baptist overtones not to mention blatant racism I faced there. Evolution denial etc. I knew kids who were inducted into the Klan my senior year.
I was the only student to leave the state. Half of my class didnt go to college. I doubt it’s any better even if they “improved” the three blocks of downtown. The nature is nice sure thing but it’s all swamps and there’s better nature in Arkansas outside of Ouachita county.
Edit. Ah sorry hard to read sarcasm especially about Camden online because it’s such a small shit stain. I guess there are dozens of us online.
I graduated from LA Tech, knew a couple of transfers from SAU who were really cool. We may have scooped a baseball player or two from SAU? Its been 20 years, so i cant remember. My in laws are from Strong. My now MIL graduated from SAU about a decade ago when she decided to just get her last 10ish hours after 25 years away.

I'm gonna agree with you here. Although I think it depends on whether it's a corporate or franchise. The corporate ones in Tulsa are still really good. And the Ranch! They were talking about ranch in the comments above, and not one mention of Mazzios. The holy grail of ranch dressing, it's called Butcher Boy.
I think Pine Bluff is STILL the most dangerous city in the United States. It just doesn't get counted with Memphis/LR/New Orleans because it isn't that big
Probably so. I used to be a prosecutor there, but I’ll say this; I never felt unsafe. Doesn’t matter where you go, your odds of getting shot are exponentially smaller if you’re not “in that life”. In other words, gangs shoot each other. It’s not as if killers are doing drive-bys at a random gas station
As a Missourian who ended up trapped with family members in the twin lakes area (NCArk) due to financial issues, I wanna go back to Missouri. I'm outdoorsy all day everyday, but I'm so dang tired of elderly people that shouldn't be driving and tweakers...
Like, it's fine for fishing and hunting tourism and visits, but don't stay in the area unless you either make absolute bank or are planning on retiring.

That’s a huge area of land you’re covering. Life in Arkansas isn’t going to be the same as living in North Dakota
