I'm in complete agreeance with you. I grew up in Little Rock and moved to Fayetteville for the U of A. I lived in Chicago, St Louis, and Dallas before moving back to Rogers. I rented in Rogers a few years but when it came time to buy a place I decided on Fayetteville. There is a certain character that Fayetteville has that none of the other NWA cities seem to have. I think someone has to live in other areas of the country to really understand and appreciate what that "character" is. I can't even really explain it. I work in Rogers still (and yes the 540 commute stinks) but once I get home I'm proud to be in Fayetteville. Many of the people that I work with don't understand why I moved to Fayetteville but the majority of them either grew up in the Rogers area or are from somewhere else (somewhere smaller) in the state. The other people I work with that live in Fayetteville completely understand me though.
