Very interested in relocating to Arkansas.
Editor comment. That's great, there are many interesting places to retire there. I suggest you start off with our Arkansas Directory of Cities and Communities, as well as the Mini-Guide to Retirement in Arkansas. Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Hot Springs seem especially nice.
Does anyone else have suggestions for Cynthia?
