Â* In a small tourist trap town in north central Arkansas , a hundred
miles from everywhere . We're really very isolated , gas here (right
now) is 2.49 cheapest , towns 40 miles away are almost always 20-30
cents cheaper . It's worth it to live somewhere away from the hustle and
bustle and CRIME of places like Memphis or Little Rock . We had our
first armed robbery here in many years , the perps were in custody
within an hour . In Memphis it takes an hour for the cops to respond ...
