You entered Fayetteville via the business route which is never the heart of any city. Then stumbled into collegic cheap student housing. You sought out the trashiest area to make fun of but didn't look for the high end area. Your limited tour failed to showcase the city, but was rather a platform for your sparky attempts to be funny. And vending machines in Apts is brilliant and convinient... and was in place way before Uber type delivery apps. You're cramming for an exam and need a snack... Or an ice storm hits and you can't get out... Bentonville tour was good. You dropped the ball major on Fayetteville.
It seems they were in Fayetteville in the summer, when far fewer students are around. Also they rarely get out of their car and speak to locals. Their worldview is almost exclusively car-centric, which makes sense with their being from Florida, where nobody walks.
Tbh as an NWA native Fayetteville gets its Fame from The University football and it’s Bar strip Aka Dickson Street. At nighttime you definitely see more of a crowd. And The reason behind it being so dead is just due to the fact that it’s summer break. It’s is a college town after all so it’s just quieter around this time of year. Definitely picks up after school restarts and around Christmas time when the whole downtown square is decorated in Christmas lights.
I live there, and i love it. Born in So Calif and moved to Arkansas in 80s, was a great decision. One of the slogans around here is "Keep Fayetteville Funky" because its diverse, a lot to do, and yet you can leave the city and get out to the lakes, trails, hills and state parks in nothing flat.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS That must be summing it up. Why should we watch one hour of some unprepared people driving around on super boring asphalt jungles around some random places of a city? I have heard good things about Fayetteville. But this video was a hit and miss.
There is a big, wide road from I-40 through the mountains to Fayetteville. Way back in my day as a new driver, there was only a narrow two lane state road twisting around the edges of the mountains. And the fog would roll in. Beautiful drive on a sunny day. Scary AF in any other condition.
Interesting to see my hometown from an outsider perspective. The reason it's "so laid back" in your video is because this was taken right before all the college kids came back into town. The U of A has a huge out of state student population and most of the year it's crowded and crawling with rich kids from Dallas. Lots of gentrification and luxury student housing going up here, as well as influence from Walmart.
You literally drove through the worst part of Fayettville, just like Springdale. There are some beautiful historical homes. Also some million dollar homes. Fayettville is compared to Asheville NC. You missed the whole west part of Springdale where the nicer area is.
I first came here to live in 1976. My family is from Arkansas and some of the first pioneers. And I have lived and traveled in other areas so not just here my whole life. Huntsville and Fayetteville are nothing alike. Huntsville is a very rural little place in Madison County. People are moving to Fayetteville because it is a great place to live. It is sophisticated, beautiful, with a University, award winning library and Farmer's Market, entertainment and shopping, and many other attributes. Housing is high here now but it is in most cities now. Yes, developers are doing a lot here because people want to come here and they can make a profit. But Fayetteville is a great place, my home and I love it and I am not the only one. You are not even in the main part of town. You are just driving through on 71. You need to go to th town Square. And Dickson Street. You are in the southeast part of town which is the low end area just beginning to be improved. You should have turned right long ago. You have a totally wrong impression of Fayetteville!!
@@JamesCouch777 Ha! Ok thanks! I did not hear the Alabama part! Anyone saying anything negative about Fayetteville just triggers me. Fayetteville is my Favoriteville!
I've grown up in Fayetteville since 1982. It's a college town, located near Walmart Corporate Headquarters. Also Tyson, JB Hunt, and several big money people. The property is overpriced in, and to the west, of NW Arkansas. Highway 412 E leads to the Ozarks. Mostly a four lane highway gets you cheaper property in about 35-45 minute commute in mostly unpopulated area. I live in Huntsville Arkansas. They just put in a Southerlands. Most areas east of NW Arkansas are unincorporated. Meaning, no restrictions and no permits. The downfall of that is, it can't be properly valued if it doesn't have inspections and permits. 👍
Doing a tiny bit of research before you tour would be helpful, if you want the tour to be at least nominally representative. You drove around randomly, which is fine but hardly representative. You missed most of the historic neighborhoods, the theatre district, most of the main shopping districts, the state of the art library, the medical complex, etc. You managed to highlight random ancient apartment complexes. And you did your tour when the campus was dead. All in all, you managed to miss most everything that makes the town worth living in other than the mountains. So....when you ask if there is something you're missing? Yes, most everything. And looking for "the hood" everywhere? Tacky, and disrespectful of the residents who live in the so-designated (by you) areas. Fayetteville has plenty of shortcomings, but you didn't really find any of them. And, yes, there are plenty of jobs other than Wal-Mart...
You guys didn't even drive half of Fayetteville you just drove part of north and part of east Fayetteville there is alot more to see when it comes to Fayetteville I know because I have lived here my whole life
25:02 Southern accent on point for a Moreno. Fayetteville Arkansas' 7 Hills is not mentioned enough. I think it's what give this town its appeal. The South and East side of the town smells like Japanese Honeysuckle in the Summers & Falls. The public library is top notch. Our collegiate football program is nothing to write home about. There is water everywhere even in the driest months. Water seeping out of an asphalt parking lot is not unusual around here. Construction is booming.
Fayetteville is half college students. This id what it looks like when school is out. Also, south fayetteville is the rough part. When magazines mention Fayetteville, they include the entire metro. Fay just gets the publicity because it’s the largest city in the metro
Your first hint of it growing is the population sign says 73k, but the actual current population is around 95k per 2021 census estimates. It's still a University town, with 30,000 students. Literally 25% of the population of the city isn't present in June and July. But Fayetteville can completely stop growing as far as I care. It's grown too fast and too much.
You are dead wrong..i was in charge of big part of NWA 2020 CENSUS , population it's actually for federal purposes , over 55 thousand ,when COVID had those students going back home before April 1st 2020,they DID not count as residents as about 25k students vacaded NWA ..so the real pop it's up for anyone's stimate, but our enumerators and we the district supervisors and managers estimate was high 80s then we think we'll over 95s to maybe 110k thousand now. 9/2022
Guys...I LOVE Bell Vista, Bentonville, & Fayetteville !! ..why? .All my life I've lived in San Diego, great, but find the funs in Bella Vista ..after visiting there, my wish/dreams now to move there .someday..things I'm into...maybe you too .The number of fantastic lakes, Green beautiful Golf courses, mtn biking, tennis ..just good old out doors..what a play ground for older and young! .. Scenery's beautiful... with the 4 seasons..snow!! List goes with on..out door Barbeques....FOOD.. Walmart!! Affordable too..😊
this video really missed the mark. doing research before you visit a town would make your videos so much better. I love these driving videos of towns good and bad, but you really missed a lot of things in fayetteville. They layout of the town by nature is not central. Also the day/time you drove was not conducive to showcasing accurately.
i dont work for the Arkansas board of tourism.. you can find nightlife in Miami on a rainy tuesday night at 2AM its noy my fault your town is featureless
The comments about easy or no permits, easy regulations, no strict inspections is inaccurate. Fayetteville isn’t as easy for developers & builders to operate as you suggest.
it is compared to SOUTH FLORIDA... might not be to someone in ARKASAS.. but its NOTHING compared to Florida. you dont have 200MPH wind zones do you? 4 feet above the crown of the road do you? no OSB walls here.... 2 permits to CHANGE a water heater already in place? you have NO IDEA about dade county code... thats childishly easy up there.
Arkansas definitely has some beautiful country no question. Texas does have that agriculture protection for property owners, best way to lower property taxes, get some land and a cow or even chickens.
LOL. Oxford, MS is a tiny town of 25,000 people. Fayetteville adds an entire Oxford every decade right now. The metro including Bentonville grows by over 1,000 people per month right now.
The Dickson District smells like money and peaches 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑 That area is better to drive around and through with a Range Rover Autobiography than a low car like a Vette , because of the ground clearance. I love this district Dexter Lombardo 🧔🤠 💵💲💵💲💵💲💵💲 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
Hmmm, two minutes in and you are going negative already? Really? You should just leave. You don’t deserve to see this wonderful, beautiful and old city. Just giving you the unvarnished gut feeling you are spewing.
She is, but i am cuban and i got money to make sure she lives good and enjoys life. Check out our recent videos were in California what an amazing place. Road trip of a lifetime
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS and by the way the only reason i watch one of your videos is because you was in my home town. can't watch another one because yall be annoying

Go downtown and circle the square.
They do the same in every town.

Drive thru University of Arkansas and then crassly bellow “are there any jobs here besides Wal Mart?”
Classic.
Yes there are other industries in Northwest Arkansas.
You are missing the best parts of Fayetteville! Random side streets & apartment complex parking lots??? Did you do any research before going there?
we NEVER research. that would just make us any other channel on youtube. we just drive.

Does this state get any snow at all?
Oh yeah u will for sure see light snow here
Yes not too much
We had a lot more before global warming. That is, in Northest Arkansas.
@@truelily7 is there a big difference between the weather in Northwest Arkansas and Southern Arkansas in the winter ?
you drove just past a trailer park at 37:40 right side of the car. 37:52 you're asking where is a trashy trailer park.. look right
I grew up near Fayetteville and spent a lot of time there but I rarely go now because of the traffic.
My favorite TH-camr lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

To many people here now in NWA in general, and the traffic is out of hand. And this is we’re all the work is.
Agreed
Dude the building code is enforced fully in Arkansas, it's the southern building code...
How many people live in this town? How many traffic lights in this city? Nice area!
93k now.
I live in Northwest Arkansas it's 20miles away from my town of Rogers Arkansas. It's a great place
Yup
Other than : 1-burping and yawning 2-singing.3-imitating southern accent.4- talking about Alabama. The tour was decent

You went right past Dickson St., the entertainment district. Hope you don’t pass up circling the downtown square.
Arkansas definitely has some beautiful country no question. Texas does have that agriculture protection for property owners, best way to lower property taxes, get some land and a cow or even chickens.
You should go to Pine Bluff AR
Don’t go to HUNTSVILLE especially if you have children that will be going to the schools.
Come to Oxford MS and you'll see the growing
LOL. Oxford, MS is a tiny town of 25,000 people. Fayetteville adds an entire Oxford every decade right now. The metro including Bentonville grows by over 1,000 people per month right now.
Has about 100k population now
Please and thank you for broadcasting neg views of NWA
I live next city over it's not bad there at all
Rodgers and Bentonville are awesome
I like Arkansas cheaper to live then Florida
🥲I know
You have no idea 🥲
Its so hard to be in Florida but its home
Florida has the beach. Yes I have lived in Florida briefly and traveled there also. Florida is full of crime, hot, and conservative.
yall almost said it crack n go
The Dickson District smells like money and peaches

That area is better to drive around and through with a Range Rover Autobiography than a low car like a Vette , because of the ground clearance.
