My wife and I are currently in Dental School in Kansas City. We are both from Fort Smith. I couldn't wait to leave Fort Smith when we moved away. At first i loved Kansas City. Now i hate it. I hate everything about it. I hate the traffic, the crime, the fact that i have to drive 20-25 minutes to find a walmart or a grocery store. When we get through with school we will most definately move back to Fort Smith, and that is something i can't believe i would ever say. Does Fort smith have its downside....without a doubt....but there isn't a city or town in this country you can't say the same thing about. No one ever likes to say any of the good things about fort smith....like...the traffic isn't bad....the crime isn't bad in most places....it's convenient to get places....everyone likes to bash.
