So here we go...
We're out here looking for a way to draw more attention to the beautiful corner of the USA that we live in and also for the people and their property we represent. So what makes the area we live in so special? Some would say it's the people. Definitely! Never have I lived in a friendlier place. Everyone says "hi" and everyone waves. Everyone is very polite and they seem to go out of their way to make sure that you feel welcomed. Sure sometimes you can feel like there are cliques. But most of the time that's self-inflicted. Dare to step out and introduce yourself and it seems as if they're always nice and ready to talk-up a storm. Some say what makes this area so special is nature. You just can't ignore it if you're here. Right now it's raining - perfect sleeping weather. It's rained quite a bit here recently and I'm sure the low-water bridges, etc. are blocked off. If not they will be soon! The grass is greening up and the decorative and fruit trees are blossoming, which makes for a colorful drive. The Buffalo National River is a big attraction for me. The beauty of the cliffs, the flowing of the water, the side-trails along the numerous tributaries, the immense amount of wildlife, and of course the river itself is truly one of our nation's jewels of the park system. There are several lakes within 30 minutes. They are Tablerock Lake, Lake Tanyecomo, and Bull Shoals Lake. They're all three along the White River and all offer their own unique attributes. There is one of the clearest year-round streams in America running right through downtown Harrison. Crooked Creek offers some pretty wonderful sights, fishing, and even some floating further on downstream. And then there is the terrain. It varies from fairly level gently rolling pasture to steep drop-offs and spectacular cliffs and of course everything in between. Some say what sets us apart is that we still have that small-town America feel and yet we're within easy driving distance of several large, fast-growing areas in the U.S. Northwest Arkansas is only an hour and a half away at the most. Branson, MO is only a half-hour away with Springfield, MO only another forty minutes past that. Little Rock, AR is about two-and-a-half hours away. I've never lived in the really big metro areas. Visited. But never lived. I kind of like it that way. I like knowing my neighbors. I like being able to go shopping and seeing everybody I know. Sometimes when I don't feel all that great I don't but for the most part... That's all for now. I'll add some more thoughts and definitely add some info on our listings later.
