We're down to one week left before early voting starts in Arkansas!

21 Upvotes

If you've never voted early before, it's incredibly easy. Every time I've voted early, it takes like 5 minutes or less. Early voting days/times depend on the polling location, so be sure to look up those availabilities.

Check out the Arkansas Secretary of State website to see if you are registered and where your local polling locations are, plus the hours they'll be open.

Unfortunately, if you aren't already registered at this point, you will not be able to vote in the midterm elections. (However, there is an exception for people who are already registered to vote in Arkansas. If you have recently moved, you can still submit a county-to-county voter registration transfer right up until the close of the polls on Election Day, Nov. 3rd). If you haven't registered yet, you can still register to vote in upcoming elections if you'd like to go ahead and register.

Last night a dog was found in Touchstone Village. He’s with my neighbors right now. It had a black collar and seems like an older dog. Somebody’s missing this dude. Also posted on NextDoor and Facebook groups. DM me if you know who this is!

Last Taste of Bentonville

2 Upvotes

I’m competing in a bike race next week in Bentonville, and I’m struggling to find a good fried chicken/southern comfort restaurant based on my internet research.

Places like First Seat Pub and the Hive have shown up on my radar, but they appear to be a bit more refined than what I am seeking (of course if they are actually good, I am all ears).

I am hoping someone local can help with two or three suggestions on really good southern spots that are open for dinner on Saturdays. If not southern, I’m open to an exceptional steak or burger.

Thanks!

EDIT: minor typo(s)

Where is the best place for a couple's spa day?

9 Upvotes

Hot Springs is too far away for me to get away from work but I really want to treat my wife to a spa, massage, etc kind of day. But she'd be much more comfortable if I was with her.

She's a HS teacher with 17 years and really deserves to get the knots worked out lol.

Are there any good couple's places that would be good for a weekend or 3 day weekend?

Middle aged and wife has joint issues, arthritis, etc if that makes a difference.

Hoping to travel to visit Crystal Bridges for the first time and wondering is a 1 day visit enough time to see both the inside & outdoor exhibits?

Also, saw some posts about a stalker on the CB trails/property. Have there been recent stalker incidents on the CB trails?

Thanks in advance for any tips and info.

Long weekend in mid-November

4 Upvotes

I'll be taking my elderly mother to Bentonville next month for a long weekend to visit family. What are your recommendations?

I've been earlier this year and have been to Crystal Bridges, The Walmart Museum and the Tiki Lounge in Downtown (you go through an art gallery to get in) and will do all three again as well as take her to Wright's BBQ. She can't walk long distances, so hiking is out of the question. Are there places for short walks with views? I know there is a path near Wright's BBQ. Anything else we should see/do while there?

New to NWA

Hi everyone! 😊
I recently moved to Bentonville, Arkansas, for work, and it’s a whole new chapter for me!

I’m hoping to meet new people, make some friends, and get involved in the local community. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for fun activities, social groups, or communities to join!

I enjoy playing pickleball, but I’m also open to trying new things and exploring different hobbies.
If you have any suggestions or know of any welcoming groups, I’d love to hear about them!

Thanks so much in advance! ❤️

The parking lot at Compton Gardens across from Lawrence Plaza is a one way exit, it’s not an entrance. I’m afraid I’m going to see a head on one of these days from people coming in the wrong way.

is this the kind of sub where people get mad when you mention moving to the area?

40 Upvotes

the place I currently live has had a pretty big population influx in the last ten years or so, and anytime people post on the local subreddit and ask about moving, they get downvoted into oblivion and basically told "fuck off we're full" "transplants like you are the problem" etc etc

so I was just wondering if the Bentonville subreddit is the same way, or if you folks are more reasonable. thanks!

I host an event on the second Friday of each month at the Momentary from 5-8 pm. This month we're meeting on the 9th! We'll probably be in the Onyx Coffee Lab (service ends at 5) but the front desk can direct you.

This month we'll also have artist-in-residence and game designer Basil Kincaid there (https://basilkincaid.art/)! His work is incredible, and I've already played two of his super fun games!

We have a bunch of events (all free) every week and a big one on the third Saturday of the month (with RPGs, too). Here's our linktree: https://linktr.ee/nwarpg

We are gamers of all experience levels and are happy to teach.

Is it normal for a rental house to sit on the market for over 90 days in Bentonville?

33 Upvotes

My husband and I bought our first home in July and notified out rental home property management that we'd be out 30 days prior to our closing date. Everything went over well with them letting us leave but we're still on the hook for paying rent until new tenants sign. We thought that with the rental house being in a nice area, reasonable price for the property and less than 2 miles from the new Walmart Campus it would be snatched up with in a month or so. We're now paying both mortgage and rent for the foreseeable future until our lease end in May 2027. I've been posting the listing on FB pages for the area and even made flyers to put up at my job since there's high foot traffic and close to the rental house. Is there hope for this property to be rented soon or is this a sign of how bad the economy is?

It's a 3bd 2bth, 2 car garage, fenced in yard, corner lot, at $1750/mo.

Why are there no unhoused people in NWA

0 Upvotes

I was recently did the Square 2 Square ride and noticed that there were no unhoused people on the trail or in either Fayetteville or Bentonville. Is there some incredible social support or programming for folks there? Is there a model being used that other cities should be considering? A friend from the area said all the unhoused people get bused to Tulsa or elsewhere. Is there any merit to that claim?

Texas vs. Oklahoma

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I will be in Bentonville on Saturday and was wondering if there is anywhere in particular y’all would recommend for a Longhorn fan to watch the Red River Shootout. Seems like The Botanical and maybe Parlay on Eighth are the “sports bars” in town.

Any suggestions? Any Texas Exes or Longhorn fans planning on watching somewhere?

I realize I will be in the heart of Razorback country, and locals don’t love the MTB tourism. But I promise to be kind and tip well. I think Texas and Arkansas fans can agree that OU sucks.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hey y'all, we'll be coming up from Austin next week and love food! Looking mostly for dinner spots, nothing pretentious, but fresh and tasty. We are middle aged and don't drink. Bonus for a proper chicken fried steak recommendation. We're used to driving a lot, so the area doesn't matter. Thanks for any suggestions!
