NORTHWEST ARKANSAS IS THE WORLD HEADQUARTERS FOR WAL-MART AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR ALL OF US IN THE AREA IS THAT WE HAVE CITY AMENITIES WITH COUNTRY-LIKE LIVING.  WAL-MART HAS BROUGHT IN MANY EXECUTIVES OF THEIR OWN AS WELL THE VENDORS WHO SUPPLY THEM.  BECAUSE OF THIS, OUR AREA HAS VERY GOOD MEDICAL CARE, STIMULATING CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES, UPSCALE SHOPPING, ENTERTAINMENT, AND EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AT ALL LEVELS.

THE BELLA VISTA RESIDENT CAN ENJOY LIFE SURROUNDED BY PEACE AND QUIET AND YET, WITHIN A SHORT DRIVE OF 10 TO 15 MINUTES CAN BE SHOPPING AT OUR NEW MALL WHICH IS HOME TO WONDERFUL STORES AND RESTAURANTS, ON THE BENTONVILLE SQUARE SHOPPING AT THE WEEKLY FARMERS' MARKET, AT ANY ONE OF THE MEDICAL FACILITIES OR HOSPITALS, OR ENJOYING CLASSES AT OUR LOCAL JUNIOR COLLEGE.  WHY LIVE IN THE TRAFFIC AND NOISE WHEN YOU CAN LIVE IN THE BEAUTY OF BELLA VISTA AND STILL HAVE THE CITY AMENITIES SO CLOSE BY?

YOU SAY THAT YOUR FRIENDS CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CHOSE TO MOVE TO ARKANSAS???  CONVINCE THEM TO VISIT YOU JUST ONCE AND THEY WILL NO LONGER ASK THAT QUESTION.  THEY WILL FIND OUT THAT WE DON'T KEEP OUR REFRIGERATORS ON THE FRONT PORCH AND THAT MOST OF US LIVE WITH BEAUTIFUL TREES, VIEWS, LAKES JUST WAITING TO BE USED FOR FISHING, BOATING, SWIMMING, GOLF ON BEAUTIFUL COURSES WITH VERY REASONABLE GREENS FEES.  YOU CAN TAKE THEM ON ANY ONE OF THE MANY DAY TRIPS THAT THE AREA OFFERS SUCH AS DEVIL'S DEN STATE PARK, THE ART COMMUNITY OF EUREKA SPRINGS, THE DOWN HOME SOUNDS OF BRANSON, THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS IN FAYETTEVILLE, THE HISTORICAL CITY OF VAN BUREN AND MANY OTHERS. MAKE THEM EAT THEIR NASTY WORDS ABOUT YOUR MOVE TO ARKANSAS AND THEN TELL THEM WHO YOUR FAVORITE REALTORS ARE (LEE AND BECKY) SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE HERE ALSO!!!
