aphrodite1980 is on a distinguished road
Default Clarksville,AR

Hello,

I am considering moving to Clarksville, AR area. I have a few job interviews in and around the area. I was just wanted some feedback. I currently live in New York but did grow up in a small midwestern town. I didn't know how easy it is for a single person (without kids) to live in this area. If you could tell me about the area - anything you would like to share, I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Ermm...is there a specific reason you are considering Clarksville? That are in general is not the most friendly to outsiders and especially northerners and there isn't a lot for singles to do. Its an economically depressed area geared heavily towards older people. Plus you would most likely have to commute to Ft. Smith for work and that would not be any fun. Most people on this forum will recommend you look into NWA. You can find plenty of small towns within commuting distance to Bentonville, home of the Wal-Mart machine. Fayetteville has a lot to do for singles as it is a college town. Also take a look at Conway and the Little Rock suburbs (the LR metro is not Baghdad dispite what people on this forum will try to tell you). There are plenty of safe places to live. Russellville might not be bad either but its a little far from everything.

I wouldn't move to Clarksville if you're just getting out of New York.

It's nice if you're wanting to settle down, but I think you're going to be miserable. Especially as a single northerner.

If you can go "around the area", I'd look more toward Russellville - but to be honest, a single person is not going to find much to do there either. I think either spot could be some serious culture shock for you unless you are really prepared to scale back and settle way down, or unless you come from a very tiny town in New York state. If 1980 has anything to do with the year of your birth, I'd say keep looking.

Poppycock. I'm 23 and single and Russellville is still too big for me.

Although I'm from the middle of nowhere Mississippi, so anywhere over about 7,000 people is too much.

I guess we should add "unless you're from a podunk little place and get more enjoyment out of watching animals and sitting on a porch than you do from culture and art"....haha, if that's true, then Clarksville is the place to be. Although I really didn't like Clarksville either way.
