[Husker] About that whole Altman - Arkansas thing ...

[Martin, Douglas]

It is different.  But, I, just like Rod, know quite a few former residents of Dakota Dunes who have moved there and like it.
 
Northwest Arkansas is A LOT different than the rest of the state.
 
Of course, they believe that the whole world revolves around them with the corporate headquarters of Wal-Mart and Tyson both being there.  (In the retail world, they are not far from being correct)

Buyer's remorse, maybe?

Ever been to Arkansas?  I know several families who moved there (IBP 
in South Sioux gets acquired by Tyson, moves many, many jobs there) 
because of careers, only to move back to this area after a few years 
because their family hated it there.  For many, it's culture shock, 
plain and simple.
