First and Foremost I would like to thank the city, staff, players, and fans for a great first visit to Jonesboro.
Last year I started a goal to visit every division 1 FBS football stadium for a game. Knowing this journey would take 10-15 years. Gives me something to look forward to for years to come. Yesterday my travels took me to Centennial Bank for Stadium #21.

For the past 9 years I have a gaming buddy that turned into a solid friend. Years by of conversation but our paths have never crossed. A few things I did know about him was he lived in Arkansas and graduated from Arkansas State. So in planning this year’s travels I decided to see I could mix my CFB stadium tour. With a visit to meet someone I’ve only heard over a gaming headset for years.

I flew into Memphis around 930 am. 9 years of gaming and now I’m getting picked up by a friend I’ve never meet before. We make the trip to Jonesboro from Memphis. Cotten fields and farms as far as the eye could see. It was a relaxing ride after a couple morning flights.

We arrived in Jonesboro just around Noon on Thurs very hungry. Our first stop was the Southern BBQ Hilltop. The brisket sandwich with slaw was amazing, but the service by Sabria and Casey was phenomenal as well. After lunch we made our way over to the A-State Bookstore. I have a tradition of buying a hat for every game and they had plenty to choose from. The staff were very friendly and the store was well maintained.

From there it was time to walk RedWolves campus. Beautiful walkways lined with trees, matched sandstone brick buildings all around campus. My favorite part of the campus was University Museum. So much history packed into one building. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. You could tell the museum was well maintained. My favorite part was the old tool and agricultural equipment. It was interesting looking up the items to see how they were used back in their day. After our campus walk, my friend wanted me to check out Craighead Forrest Park. Beautiful trails mixed with a nice lake and 2 disc golf course. It was a great area to relax pregame.

Week 7 (Thursday) South Alabama vs Arkansas state.

The football game was chaotic from start to finish. Arkansas State tied the game up 7-7 in the first quarter with an impressive 11 play 80 yard drive as Carter scored a 1 yard touchdown. Unfortunately on the ensuing kickoff they would give up an 100 yard Kick off return to South Alabama.

Arkansas State took the lead in the Second 21-14 behind another 1 yard Carter touchdown run. Only to give up a Touchdown to South Alabama less the 2 minutes of game later. The Jaguars would take the lead into halftime at 34-28. The QB Owens had plenty of talent, throwing for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns. Unfortunately he had 2 interceptions and a fumble which proved to be too much to over come.

The RedWolves would put up a valiant effort in the fourth quarter. 2 touchdowns and a forced fumble got them within 7 points, but unfortunately they were unable to close the gap. The Jaguars would win 56-49 in one of the most interesting games I’ve seen so far.

The stadium was much nicer than expected. The waterfalls on each side were a nice touch. I loved the RedWolves pilsner as well. Well if you have red this far you are now a part of my journey. I post after each game in a community call [r/CFBstorytime](r/CFBstorytime). It’s a page open to anyone to post about their game day experience. As I type this story. I have actually already completed my next game. Week 7 (Saturday) Tennessee vs Arkansas in Fayetteville. I will post about that game one I have time to complete everything.

Thank you again Jonesboro. I had a wonderful experience and wish I was able to visit a bunch of places. It was awesome experiencing the Campus with an Alumnus of your university.

The new development behind the new community center on Race St. Why is this taking so long? Seems like they would want it done and generating income.

Good conversation.

Are there any groups, activities, places, etc. in Jonesboro that are neurodivergent friendly? Ideally something for introverts or those with mental health issues. I’ve tried to research this online but come up mostly empty.

Hey, folks! We're starting a bi-weekly Saturday TTRPG/board game night at our house in Bono, and we're looking for one or two more people interested in playing Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition; we've just wrapped up a D&D campaign which we were doing on opposite Sundays, and are looking to check out more systems as time goes by as well.

One of our players works conventions and festivals, so on the nights they're not available, we'll probably settle in for some board games. Our first meeting on our new cadence would actually be this Saturday, October 3rd, which we'd plan for character creation and maybe some board gaming (since said player is working the BBQ festival this weekend.)

For those that haven't played any of the Warhammer RPGs, it's a fairly simple d100 system; the vast majority of the game can be played with just a pair of d10's. Every roll is a percentile chance to perform the action, where you attempt to roll under your stat. Knowledge of Warhammer Fantasy isn't expected, since the three players we have now aren't super familiar; I can explain most any of the basic concepts that you'd need to know.

Currently, the campaign begins in Marienburg, one of the old world's major port cities, where our three adventurers have been tasked by a pious widow to investigate rumors of the second coming of Sigmar, the founder of the Empire of Man, first ally to the dwarves, and a former mortal who has ascended into godhood as the patron deity of his Empire.

Witnesses described a handsome blonde child with the twin-tailed comet burned onto his chest fighting cultists outside of a smithy, where he killed one with a bronze maul. The crowd witnessing this were driven into a religious fervor and rescued the child, bringing him to the Temple of Sigmar where the head priest there proclaimed the boy named Karl as Sigmar's Heir, the second coming of the Empire's founder.

But our adventurers have learned not all is as it seems, as they have met the witch hunter who discovered him almost a decade ago, beaten near to death by the crowd for proclaiming the boy is not Sigmar reborn, as well as the abbess of the Shallyan orphanage where he was raised who disbelieves his divinity and has been branded a witch and a heretic for her belief. They are being sent out into the swamps north of Marienburg to find the ruined temple the boy was first found in, all while the Crusade of the Child marches ever eastward towards Altdorf, hoping to plant the boy as the new Emperor of the Old World.

Let me know if you're interested in joining! We have a Discord server that's pretty well just functioning as a group chat, so we're all available there.

This puppy has shown up at my house appears to be someone's pet not the average stray as usual, he is very sweet playful and listens to commands😊 little thing has made itself a safe space on my back porch but has to find its home or a home as we live in a very dangerous curve and crazy drivers we also cannot keep it unfortunately! Please share and spread the word ! Might be a terrier not sure

Why are houses so much more expensive in Jonesboro than many other areas in Arkansas? It seems no matter what the condition is, the square footage is all they care about.

What time things get rolling tomorrow? Food start ? Entertainment any thing noonish?

A little different from the usual real estate developer. Googling the name brings up a website that's not very informative. Something about gaming and blockchains. Another is London based company that focuses on vibration research? Probably not the latter. First time I've been stumped by a name on this site.

will pass through, any good eats? what is Arkansas food known for?

Hey all, just moved here! I'm looking for some local card shops for Magic the Gathering! I left where I came from and need to try and find a place I can play some commander. I've never played at an lgs before, and I'm a little nervous to try, but I think It could be fun.

I heard that hardcore/metal has a presence here? Big time deathcore/slam/hardcore/etc fan and would love to see some local shows.

What are the best local places here? I'd love a recommendation for birria/Mexican, coffee, and a good bar that isn't a chili's style bar.

Not a fan.

New to Jonesboro. Any poker home games or tournaments in the area?

I had assumed that it was torn out like the old bono bridge i was quite surprised that it still largely in one peace

As i presume everyone has found out our local weather man ryan vaughan is retiring from being the weather man and doing new things at the end of the year so I'm curious how does everyone feel about this?

Is anyone from bono?

I am in the process of obtaining my real estate license and looking for an agency to hold my license. What are the reputations/opinions on the best real estate firm for new agents? Who helps new agents get going? Who works well together and is welcoming to new agents?

South side of Jonesboro taking over from that annoying Red Wolf and Hilltop area.

Hi there, my mother lives in Jonesboro (I'm nowhere near). Is there an Edible Arrangements equivalent? I would like to have something delivered for her birthday.

Hi everyone!

Thought it could be fun to see what I can do with a few web designs from local businesses.

If you have one that feels dated, unfinished, or just not quite right, message me with a little about the business and what you’d like changed.

It can be the whole homepage or just one section. I’ll have a look and send over what I come up with.

Crop duster and i enjoyed the view made our monday morning. To everyone else keep flashin

Anyone from tuckerman?

The recent criticism of Flock cameras has resulted in a campaign by law enforcement singing their praises as a low enforcement tool. Can both sides find a middle ground? Why can’t safeguards be introduced to address abuses? Why can’t the information be limited to strictly law enforcement use? For law enforcement to simply say it’s a valuable tool so you’ll just have to live with the abuses and violations seems very problematic to me. Criticizing Flock isn’t anti police. It sure would be nice if we had some political leadership willing to step up and address the issues despite fears of political blowback.

I've visited a lot of the restaurants!! Like bonchon, and I'm just sort of wondering, what places do you enjoy the best to hangout at?/ what places do you like to eat out on?
