I now make my home at the edge of the Ozarks in Rogers Arkansas, home of Daisy Airguns and there is the Daisy Airgun Museum in the little downtown. They have some really neat guns on display, including one of the 3 Red Ryder rifles used in the film "A Christmas Story", and a very unique air-powered rifle that Merriwether Lewis used on a little cross-country trip back in 1804-1806.
Not much else going on here other than the first Walmart store was here and I can walk to the past and present locations of Store 1 in 10 minutes. Plus, Walmart home office is in the next town of Bentonville, and Rogers is home to Tyson Chicken.
Oh yeah, made the Forbes top 10 places to live in 2010. Benton County was "moist" until the 2012 election, meaning you could only buy drinks in a restaurant.
Weird though, there are no 7-11 stores, and no Krystals or White Castles.
