      I watch a lot of Arkansas police pursuit videos and I think I've seen almost every corner of the state. It's beautiful with diverse landscapes. The mountains, hills, farmland, bottom land, rivers and lakes. It's much like Georgia, just with fewer people.
      And I love your governor.

      Detroit hosted a formula one grand prix from 1982-1988. Then CART(championship auto racing teams) took over the event, moving from downtown detroit to belle isle in 1992, where it stayed until 2001. It would return for two years in 2007 with the indycar series after it and champ car(successor of CART) merged. It returned again in 2012 as a double header until 2021, excluding the cancelled 2020 edition. It became a single race again in 2022, before returning downtown in 2023, where it is today.

    Lived in Arkansas for the first 22 years of my life. Lived in Fort Smith and Fayetteville. NWA might be arguably the best place to grow up in the country, perfect mix of southern and midwestern cultures. Spent many summers in the Ozarks and Ouachitas absolutely wearing them out with hiking, camping, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. What a wonderful place to call home. Living in Colorado now but I’ll always proudly call myself an Arkansan.
    One could argue Arkansas has the most state patriotism second to Texas in the US. Just ask your average Arkansan, we’re a proud damn people.

    thanks for the great episode. as a Arkansas native with ancestors who came prior to the Arkansas Territory founding into The Ozarks in tandem with the Keetoowah Band. it is nice to see a video about my State and region and people. Two facts missed about the Arkansas Ozarks. One is lead and zinc mines used to be prevalent in many areas up to the end of World War 2 ( a trait which it shared with other parts of the Ozarks in the other states ) , the 2nd being that the Buffalo National River was declared to be the first national River and is protected by law from ever being stopped by a dam and is a candidate for upgrading to being the next new National Park

    As a citizen of Arkansas I love this video and the work you put into it. THANK YOU!
    But, as a citizen of Arkansas your killing me with how you pronounce Arkansan. I know it kind of goes against the way to pronounce the states' name which is what your doing and I understand LOL. But, it is pronounced AR-CAN-SAN.
    There, now I feel better.

    As a native Arkansan who lives in SE AR I’ve been patiently waiting for this video. I would also argue much of Arkansas is apart of the Deep South.

      Depends on which part. As a long time resident of northwestern Arkansas, it's much more Midwestern here than you'd think. But only a small section of the state is like that. A handful of counties really.

      North Arkansas has a separate accent than areas south of it for sure. Not just referring to "hillbillies". It leans more midwestern. It's civil war sentiments were much more separated from the antebellum south.

      As a UDel grad who grew up in AR... It's all about the geography. There's not much to Delaware in comparison. Arkansas is one of the most geographically diverse states in the Union.

      He could always do a reboot when he wraps up the series. I was thinking he could do a series follow up to this: The US Explained County Edition, a new video on each of the nations approx 3100 counties. In his Maine video, he did spend quite a bit of time on the most northern county in that state. That county deserves its own video.

    My favorite geography fact about Arkansas is that you can theoretically travel directly south into every state it borders.
