A Heroic City & Fun City! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) This one of the greatest cities that sit in the heart of Phillips County. The city houses more than 11,000 residents. The cost of living is affordable, but the economy not so much. Female residents can expect a household income of $19,500, while male residents expect $21,500.

...Read More The climate here is mild, I do wish we had hotter summers, the temperatures are usually fixed at fifty-nine degrees. Winters can be terribly cold and damp; temperatures are liable to drop to nineteen now and then.

When it comes to something to do in Arkansas, there is a handful of attractions and amenities for residents and visitors to partake in, such as state parks, museums, shopping centers, restaurants, libraries, churches, schools and many more fantastic destinations to have fun! Since, I am a current resident I particular am a big fan of the Battery C Historical Park, I am into history so I enjoy hearing about the history of the city that dates back to 1863. Read Less
