Mena ?
Awhile back ( before I had internet) I collected a vast amount of info on retirement locations. One of the books I had bought had a few places listed that were in Arkansas--------Fayetville, Beaver Lake, Hot Springs and Mena.
I have read a lot about many towns (cities) on this forum, but rarely heard Mena mentioned.
In that book, they stated Mena had passed up attracting lower wage paying industries and waited until they could attract some higher paying ones---------which they did. They mentioned an aircraft parts plant as an example.
Anybody familiar with Mena that they could give an opinion------both good and bad----
Or did Mena change since that book was published? (I drove through it a few years back, but was unable to spend time to really check it out)
thanks
