I grew up in Jonesboro it’s a nice town but the crime is getting so bad here

I was looking at a home on nestle way near a rice factory. If i chose to live next to a rice factory. Does it make lots of noise or smell bad? Im from south Florida tonados and storms dont scare me i currently live in brazil. Mosquitos dont bother me either cause theres plenty here

Too many skeeters.

Best area in Arkansas Is The Northwest Corner Of The State Little Rock Is Full Of Crime, Pine Bluff Is Really Bad, Hot Springs Is Nice I'll Say, Jonesboro Is Full Of Crime And Drugs West Memphis AR Is Bad As Well

They need to quit clearing out the trees in Jonesboro. That aggravates me so bad. It makes it look terrible! Also… why are there so few real doctors even though we have two hospitals and multiple urgent cares? Mostly nurse practitioners. 😔 no offense nurse practitioners. And yes we need sidewalks. More and more walk. Walking is good.

I hear the crime rate is bad in Jonesboro.

How’s Piggott my friend just moved there ,anything to do around there ?

Arkansas is the natural state you have to expect roadkill. fresh killed deer?? free food 😂😂😂

Make about half what you be making in another state

1. Roadkill happens all over Arkansas....especially deer in south Ark. 2. Construction means the city is growing. That is a POSITIVE. 3. Having a good school system is a negative people have to learn to deal with if they wanna move to Jonesboro????? 4. weather in Jonesboro is no worse than anywhere else and is better than in central AR. See Vilonia. 5. Sidewalks is not where one should be riding bicycles anyway since that is where people walk. 6. Utilities? What was his beef? 7. hahahah..mosquitos are a issue all over the state and Stuttgart has it ten times worse than Jonesboro ever had in its worst nightmare. 8. Crying about pollen? Either wear a mask or stay in the house. Pollen is also an issue anywhere there are plants/trees growing. IOWs...all over the state. 9. The heat..........ok....I am finally getting the idea that this guy is just a huge whiner crying about every little thing in life. None of what he has brought up is unique to Jonesboro. It is EVERYWHERE!!! 10. Politics......yeah........everyone hates the politics no matter where they live. A 20 min video of a Karen whining.

I'm from WV so I'm used to conservative Trump supporters

Love your channel!!! It is sad that Northeast Arkansas always gets overshadowed by Northwest Arkansas. I wish there were more people like you that gives love to our side of the state!

Jonesboro has some of the worst drivers there are anywhere.

Can we get part time jobs in Jonesboro in current time?

I grew up in Jonesboro-all my family were born in St Bernard's and graduated from JHS (65) and on back and forward. I had a paper route with the Jonesboro sun when the Trouts ran it. I lived on E Oak Ave less than a block down form church. Yes I remember when the citizens bank was 4 stories and the main st with all the 3 dime stores. Growing up in that time was ( as I tell my son) was like Mayberry-my grandmother left the keys in the car and I did not have a key to the house if anyone gone just left the door unlocked. I joined the military and traveled the world and ended up in the People s republic of California-nice there but do not like the managment. I have some 8mm movies of jb that I converted to digital and also movies of christmas parades in the 60s-some movies of the first time Booker T marching band was allowed in the parade. My family goes back to the early 20th century.. anyway enough Jb is not the same as when I lived there thank you=I am scottabe395@gmail.com

Hello . Are you realtor there ?

I have been there too much crime I would not recommend living there not even for free

stupid hat day?

2 people got murdered today here in Jonesboro

I’ve been here since I was born, they’ve been trying to improve the city and it’s okay for me ever since the 2020 tornado that hit us horribly. The roads here are okay but Red Wolf, Highland, and Johnson is just a hell of traffic. I got stuck in one of those traffic jams due to an accident it was stressful.

lived there for school back in the 1980s...would have stayed in a heartbeat if there were any jobs back then. out of school and nothing to do for work. shame.

Dude you did an AWESOME presentation!!!!! I’m in St. Louis and may be moving there in a couples of years. Superb job man 👍🏿

They need 2 more thoroughfare beside Caraway and Red Wolf. very clean city. It look like they overhauled the city cause everything look new. A lot of new hotels and still building. Lots of restaurants. Dry town. Not bike or pedestrian friendly. Lots of Camaros, Chargers, and Mustangs. People are generally nice compare to where I moved from, NW Arkansas.

I was born and raised in Jonesboro JHS HS class of 65. Most of my family and my self were born at St Barnards-Dr Barrett-and grew up with Doc wisdom as my dr. I finally got out of jb in 66 when I joined the Air Force--and I was glad to get the hell out of Jb--Yes I stil have family there including a doctor. Growing up there was like living in Mayberry but no more. But God bless you folks but for me the West is the best-and I don t have to drive 15 miles for a beer

Those skeeters will tear you up lol 12:58

I watched your video and as someone that grew up here i can confirm on everything you say here lol

I moved from Jonesboro after living there my whole life 17 years then now moved to st louis

cool

I grew up in one of the small towns outside Jonesboro, so I spent a lot of time there. Back in the 80's, Jonesboro was a nice town of about 35,000 people. There were a lot of mom and pop businesses, and Jonesboro had a lot of character. ASU were the Indians, and that culture permeated everything. Now, it's nothing but a sea of strip malls and chain restaurants. ASU is unrecognizable. Even the roads are different. Jonesboro still has the tornados and mosquitoes, but a lot of the good things are gone.

Don’t move there with your leftist progressive values. Don’t even waste your time.

I've been a Jonesboro resident for 50 years. I can confirm that Jonesboro area schools are great. CWL rates are lower than any other electric utility that I know of. We do have tornadoes, but our local television station's Storm Team meteorologists are fantastic about keeping us informed. If you're moving to Jonesboro, you will definitely need mosquito repellent!

BRO I LIVE IN JONESBORO ARKANSAS IT SUCKS wait-- ive seen you OMG

I been in Jonesboro Arkansas for 54 years

Pretty good video. Couple of points, the traffic could be made so much better by making the main roads controlled access, how we still allow left hand turns from anywhere is just stupid. Spiders; we are in the heart of Brown Recluse territory and Black Widows are now prevalent in Jonesboro. Don't under sell that fact. Next, Craighead Electric offers the most affordable and fastest internet in the area, you can choose fiber within CWL area but its an added cost. Finally, just say if you are a liberal, just dont move here, and I would agree. Best of luck

Good video 👍🏻

Is it easy or hard to find part time/full time jobs in jonesboro ?

I was raised just outside of Jonesboro. Best thing I ever did was move away.

You’re right about the power of the dollar difference when comparing rent prices in Memphis to Jonesboro. I’m working on a move now, will be in Jonesboro within 3 months!

Ohh my gosh, tornadoes and mosquitoes are deal breakers for me!! 😰😱😰 Nope No can do!! Where is it better in Arkansas??

What state has the most folks moving to Jonesboro?

What I never hear in these videos is how bad the violent crime is here. Yes Jonesboro used to be a great place to live and raise a family but there's not much for the younger kids/teens to do.

I live here

Hey I am moving there in June- wanna know more about the area- gonna stay with a friend

Coming from Alabama, tornados don't bother me. And the best meteorologist is Ryan Hall, Yall on TH-cam. I travel all over and he's the best. Check him out. Looking for a place in Jonesboro if I get a position I'm looking at.

As long as there is rice farming in the area you will always have mosquitoes. Raised on a family farm just north of Grubbs and moved to Newport when I was 12. Graduated as a Greyhound and never went back. That was in 1969 and visited the area until dad passed in 2020. Home is never the same as you remember and that holds true even today. Jonesboro is by far the best place to live if you like the more populated areas, rural areas are great for those who don't.

Which are the best neighborhoods to live at in jonesboro? I'm an investor and I'm interested in buying apartments. Which areas do you recommend to buy at and why?

Loved your talk. My mother used to be a realtor in SW Ark. She did the opposite of you, after a stint as a realtor she went back to college and became a teacher of civics for 25 years. She helps at a couple of food banks now. Volunteer. I guess I am proud of my mother for being like you.

I live in north Jonesboro between Hwy 141 and Hwy 351 and am blessed not to have the mosquito problem that other parts of town has. You can sit out at night and not worry about being sucked dry by those devilish critters! Usually the only time that this is not the case is right after a thunderstorm, then we may have more than usual for a couple of nights.

Traffic is nothing here. Try living by Tampa, FL.
