I have only heard of the cultural vibrancy that is in that area. Fun fact, the town I live in was named after Helena, AR. Luckily it is nothing like it today.

I stopped for  a coke at a mom & pop burger stand. The girl who took my change was looking at me like I had a 3rd eye in the middle of my forehead.

At first, I thought it was because I was one of the only white people in town, when I got back to my car I realized my body armor was peaking out from under the top of my buttoned shirt.

My dad grew up there. I remember how bad it was about 15 years ago. When I would visit my grandparents it was always pretty interesting. I can’t imagine it now.

Best coke in town?

I work in Helena.  Live a bit north of there.

I'll take the hoodrats around here over the hipster liberals of all-white NW Arkansas anyday.

I lived in Fayetteville for 10 years, traveled all over OK, TX, NE, MO, KS, TN, MS, AL, and AR.  All places have shit people and good people.  This is a dirt poor area.  Lot of welfare queens, lot of white trash, but lot of good people around here too.

Helena is pretty bad.  Corrupt police force and local city "leadership".  Other surrounding towns have similar demographics, are equally poor, but are actually pretty safe, nice places to live.

Probably thought he was a state cop coming to bust the local PD again.

Look up "operation delta blues"

Helena used the be a beautiful town, even in the 90's when I was a teenager.

It has gone downhill faster than anywhere in the Delta.

Well that sucks.  When I get off work some of us are going to ride 4wheelers and drink beer.  You could have tagged along.  Living around here has its privileges if you're the redneck type.

If you have to come back, I can suggest a few decent places.

Kelley's sucks.  We have James Beard award-winning BBQ 25 miles north in Marianna.  Cypress Corner BBQ is 1/2 way to Marianna and is good.  Great steakhouse over on moon lake right across the river called Katheryns, and the country club in Helena and the one in Marianna are both good.

When I was younger I couldn't stand these little towns.  Nothing to do.  When you get older, have kids, and settle down, it's not bad.

I used to go to Bixby, Broken Arrow, and Owasso for business.  I couldn't handle that rat-race every day.  I have a 30 mile commute into work, and it takes me 25 minutes of easy, no traffic driving.

Interestingly enough, that's how I ended back up here.

Grew up in the area, went through a divorce, and got custody of my two daughters who were then 4 and 5, and had to move close to my family so they could help with the kids.

Katheryn's at moon lake is a 15 minute drive.  Great food.

Helena Country Club is good.  You have to be a "member or guest", but just tell them you're from out of town, and a member of "X country club" and they'll serve you.

Rio Lindo is good Mexican.

Teaden for Chinese (looks like a dump, but food is good)

I mentioned some places north of town towards Marianna.  Jones BBQ is the shit, but he usually sells out by 11:30 or so, so he's likely closed for the day.

Lived in Fayetteville for 10 years.  Watched it grow from a neat little college town into an overcrowded, over-regulated, overhippied nightmare.  Took me 45 minutes to get from my house to the office....less than 8 miles.

I go up to a game every now and then.  Don't even recognize it anymore.  I went to the UofA in the late 90's, stayed after I graduated.

It always worked for me.

I was working in North Tulsa and had one of the locals ask me, "watchoo doin here, white boy?"

I told him, "the call me Sae Foo..."

He asked me what kind of dumb ass name is that?"

I said, "Ida know...but everyone here asks me, "Say foo', what's a white boy like you doing here?"

Loved Fayetteville in the 90's.

Hated it starting around 2005ish.

The delta is...different, but there's a big difference in city "rich and vibrant" and country "rich and vibrant"

I don't worry about crime here.  Unless you're a drug dealer or hang around with drug dealers, you don't have much to worry about.

Meanwhile in NWA, I lived next door to a Fayetteville cop, and went to church with a Springdale cop.  Both of them said "I didn't sign up for this crap" when the violent crime rate went up something like 700% from the big influx of Hispanic gangs.

That, coupled with the liberals taking over everywhere up there, made it as easy decision when it came time to move.  I liked Rogers Rec and Maxines.  Bunch of faggoty ass liberals have made Maxines into a hipster bar now instead of the working man's tavern.

I do get a kick out of John LaTour pissing off and all over the liberals up there.  He keeps them whipped into a frenzy.
