Oh, Fayetteville.  I've lived here for about 9 years and my family still lives in the area.  I've seen lots of things come and go, but more recently things have just been coming and coming.  It's grown probably three fold since I've lived there.  With the Walmart Home Offices in nearby Bentonville, the Tyson Home Offices in neighborly Springdale, the whole northwest corner of Arkansas has been rapidly booming for some time.  The last time I visited, most noteworthy places to eat were the Greenhouse Grill (all organic foods prepared in exquisite fashion) and the Marketplace (All around menu - chicken, steak, salads, pasta, and desserts that are out of this world).  There are shopping centers galore and the people generally have that southern hospitality and charm.
