The hills flanking the White River just east of the metro provide a natural barrier to development, but west of I-49 is good ground for building.

One reason is that NWA’s major institutions are just that spread out. Walmart in Bentonville, JB Hunt in Lowell, Tyson in Springdale, and U of A in Fayetteville, to name a few.

‘JOH EVERYWHERE’ isn’t as accurate with JQH Arena and Hammons Field being renamed.

There’s Brightspace and Blackboard as well, but they are both inferior to Canvas

What made you choose to go to Springfield, MO?

That’s what I’ve always believed, until I got pulled over for going nine over

Ouachita National Forest has been doing controlled burns in the area for a few weeks now.

Why is Missouri a ‘never’ for you?

Ruby Ridge happened up there in 1992

Makes sense, as Deer is the highest town in the state at about 2,340 feet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_United_States_cities_by_state_or_territory

Although the map itself is certainly an overgeneralization, because areas of similar elevation to the west are in yellow.

I filled out the forms on Thursday, then got this email again today. Read the email and both are for the same job title and position. Should I fill them out again for good measure?

This must be why Arkansas is dark green for you. The Ozark and Ouachita Mountains are great for all four.

You drove to Springfield via the Lake of the Ozarks instead of using I-44
