I've been a Jonesboro resident for 50 years. I can confirm that Jonesboro area schools are great. CWL rates are lower than any other electric utility that I know of. We do have tornadoes, but our local television station's Storm Team meteorologists are fantastic about keeping us informed. If you're moving to Jonesboro, you will definitely need mosquito repellent!
I grew up in one of the small towns outside Jonesboro, so I spent a lot of time there. Back in the 80's, Jonesboro was a nice town of about 35,000 people. There were a lot of mom and pop businesses, and Jonesboro had a lot of character. ASU were the Indians, and that culture permeated everything. Now, it's nothing but a sea of strip malls and chain restaurants. ASU is unrecognizable. Even the roads are different. Jonesboro still has the tornados and mosquitoes, but a lot of the good things are gone.
1. Roadkill happens all over Arkansas....especially deer in south Ark. 2. Construction means the city is growing. That is a POSITIVE. 3. Having a good school system is a negative people have to learn to deal with if they wanna move to Jonesboro????? 4. weather in Jonesboro is no worse than anywhere else and is better than in central AR. See Vilonia. 5. Sidewalks is not where one should be riding bicycles anyway since that is where people walk. 6. Utilities? What was his beef? 7. hahahah..mosquitos are a issue all over the state and Stuttgart has it ten times worse than Jonesboro ever had in its worst nightmare. 8. Crying about pollen? Either wear a mask or stay in the house. Pollen is also an issue anywhere there are plants/trees growing. IOWs...all over the state. 9. The heat..........ok....I am finally getting the idea that this guy is just a huge whiner crying about every little thing in life. None of what he has brought up is unique to Jonesboro. It is EVERYWHERE!!! 10. Politics......yeah........everyone hates the politics no matter where they live. A 20 min video of a Karen whining.
lived there for school back in the 1980s...would have stayed in a heartbeat if there were any jobs back then. out of school and nothing to do for work. shame.
They need 2 more thoroughfare beside Caraway and Red Wolf. very clean city. It look like they overhauled the city cause everything look new. A lot of new hotels and still building. Lots of restaurants. Dry town. Not bike or pedestrian friendly. Lots of Camaros, Chargers, and Mustangs. People are generally nice compare to where I moved from, NW Arkansas.
Thank you for your insight. That’s one of my biggest “gripes”, how we aren’t currently bike or pedestrian friendly. The city is working on it though and I’m sure it’s going to get better!
Pretty good video. Couple of points, the traffic could be made so much better by making the main roads controlled access, how we still allow left hand turns from anywhere is just stupid. Spiders; we are in the heart of Brown Recluse territory and Black Widows are now prevalent in Jonesboro. Don't under sell that fact. Next, Craighead Electric offers the most affordable and fastest internet in the area, you can choose fiber within CWL area but its an added cost. Finally, just say if you are a liberal, just dont move here, and I would agree. Best of luck

Jonesboro has some of the worst drivers there are anywhere.

I seriously doubt they are worse than the ones in Chesterfield, Virginia
My maternal grandmother was from Van Buren
Bill Halter was pretty liberal

All great points! I have noticed more black widows recently too. I have ATT fiber and it is great but I’ve heard empower is great too!
Good video 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm from WV so I'm used to conservative Trump supporters
Arkansas is the natural state you have to expect roadkill. fresh killed deer?? free food 😂😂😂
