I lived in Fayetteville for over a decade. It’s a great little town where people are genuinely friendly. It is growing at an amazing pace, which may make it loose its charm eventually, but, for now at least, it’s still a great town with lots of scenic beauty. Anyone who likes camping or hiking should give it a try. It’s a college town (University of Arkansas), which means that the political climate leans to the left, unlike the rest of the state.
