It is always interesting when an Arkansas city makes headlines, especially when they are positive!

U.S. News & World Report identified 10 places that it says are the best places for an entrepreneurial baby boomer to retire. It picked the areas because they have an affordable cost of living, proximity to healthcare, fun recreational amenities, and access to information, particularly colleges and university with technology-focused departments.

Oops, sorry for the way it copy & pasted.

When the media refers to Fayetteville, it is often referring to the entire area surrounding the city as well. of course these articles and studies come out constantly. It is a feather in our cap and deserves bragging rights. The only problem I see with the studies, they change every 6 months or one magazine will list, say, NWA and the next will have us down around 500th best..

Still I love to read them and hear about them.

So true, it is ever-changing; never hurts to get a compliment though.
