Its moderately hilly as you are still in the foothills of the ozarks. Honestly, you could do much better than Fort Smith. Unless you have something that takes you there such as a job or family, I can hardly recommend it. Fayetteville is much nicer are more scenic.

Fort Smith is a small town whose economy is mostly industrial. It is largely like just about any other place in America whose economy is mostly industrial. It has recently gotten a university and it has seen pretty decent growth over the last few years.
People from NW Arkansas love to dump on it but geez give it a break, Fort Smith is what it is.

Yeah, you drive across the river and you're there.

My impression of the people of the town has been completely ruined by two things.

1. They have a beautiful downtown that they abandoned for strip malls.
2. They voted the Olive Garden best Italian food in town.

1: They have abandoned about four areas for a new strip mall. It is called America; that is what we do. FWIW, Garrison is not only survivng, but thriving and has some great stores, restaurants, and bars there. I am doing something on Garrison at least once a week. The new and improved Neumeier's Rib Room is wonderful.

2: I don't kow where you saw that at. I find it hard to believe that anyone in Fort Smith would vote that chain as the best Italian restaurant in Fort Smith. I would probably go with Talianos.

Well I don't know if I would move somewhere just based on the name of the city, but if I did I could pick out a few better names than Fort Smith, such as:

Boring, Oregon
*****, Newfoundland, Canada
French Lick, Indiana
Intercourse, Pennsylania
Hell, Michiagan
Why, Arizona
North, South Carolina
Climax, Michigan
Gay, Michigan
Waterproof, Louisianna
Monkey's Eyebrow, Arizona
Crappo, Maryland
Last Chance, Colorado
Bumpass, Virginia
Poop Creek, Oregon

Just to name a few.

Gay, MI + Climax, MI = Hell, MI
