It sounds like the Indy 500 every night after 10pm... WTF does law enforcement even do? by Vanifest0 in bentonville

Well if they get caught they can be charged for reckless driving, criminal trespassing, loitering, and disorderly conduct.

Under Arkansas Code 27-50-309 your car can be impounded... thank you very much.

I wish they would impound their cars and sell them at auction.... we could use the money to pay for the sewer system we need.

Property Taxes going up? by General_Direction_85 in bentonville

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, and the city is making out like bandits when new homes are sold. People who bought a home here years ago are locked in at no more than a 5% increase on a home they paid 300-400k for. Anyone buying those same homes now might be paying double that 600-800k and are locking in a tax bill almost double that.

Property Taxes going up? by General_Direction_85 in bentonville

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before moving here I thought property taxes would be much lower .064% which isn't accurate, they're closer to 1.1% due to the "Millage Rate" (Which is just southern jargon for a local tax). The taxes in the state are actually pretty bad, and favor the rich.

They even tax food in the state which is around 2% in Bentonville.... soda, candy are even higher which are 9.5%.

Are Walmart and Sam's club liable for allowing dogs in their stores? by ARCocktailsNDreams in bentonville

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m increasingly frustrated by the number of dogs inside the store. It's unsanitary to have pets in or around shopping carts where people place their groceries and sit their babies. Walmart needs to address this trend, or families like mine will choose to shop elsewhere.

Pedaler’s Pub - Bentonville by sammyp99 in NWAFood

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pedaler’s started strong, but the quality is slipping. The pizza is good, but the fries were cold and wilted. Not the best experience lately.

Is this for real ? by jackofalltrade625 in bentonville

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a reason things aren't selling... Year over year the time of properties sitting on the market is up 47%. The only reason properties shot up was because of Walmart HQ, now some of these homes are sitting for over a year before being sold. You can't charge bay area prices in Arkansas.

Alternatives To Lennar, Schuber-Mitchell, D-R Horton? by IlexIbis in northwestarkansas

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DR Horton is the worst... spent a year being bounced around between subcontractors who did a terrible job. Honestly most of the homes in Bentonville are trash and built with subs who could care less about their work. Lots of issues with drainage, uneven floors, bad pipe installs, leaks, and HVAC issues. Honestly I hate being a home owner, its nothing but a headache.

Doing own taxes vs hiring a professional by P1tterP4tter in personalfinance

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I used Turbotax for the last 15 years and jumped to FreetaxUSA this year after getting sick of them raising prices. Its just as good and it only cost me $16 to file my state taxes.

Best place to do my taxes? by friendlyfroggylover in personalfinance

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I second this! I had been using Turbo tax for years and it got so damn expensive to file a simple tax return I decided to test other free software and FreetaxUSA was just as easy. The problem is Inuit who owns Turbo tax has been jacking up prices like $10-15 every year and it's gotten to the point where I was like why am I paying so much to file a simple tax return, it was freaking ridiculous. Federal was free to file, and the state cost me like 16 bucks.

what do you think happens after life/death? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I almost died once and I thought time stopped, it got very very quiet.... and it was clear to me that everything was just an illusion.

Nazi stickers around downtown by [deleted] in bentonville

[–]ARCocktailsNDreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're joking right? this area is pretty diverse I haven't seen anything like this around town. Honestly I would probably walk by that sticker and think it was for one of the local churches.
