My daughter, husband and three kids moved there last June. I have not been yet, but have been through there before. Form looking at the pictures their house is one of the smaller ones in the subdivision. Their close neighbors either work at the college or hospital as one recommended her to the hospital admin. and she got a good job within two weeks. So far they like it as a very nice place.
It's different for all of us i guess.
I was born here, lived here all my life. I will be 60 years old in July. So i know how things were before it got to where it is now.
I don't like crowds, bumber to bumper traffic and knowing how dangerous it is here anymore.
Last Friday my daughter and 2 year old grand daughter pulled into their carport . Their gog was barking like crazy at the utility room door that had been kicked in. My daughter got her pistol and just as she stepped out of her truck a man stepped out of the utility room that he had broken into. She pulled her pistol on him and ask him what he was doing. He wasn't scared enough that he just took off. He didn't leave until she made it clear she was fixing to shoot him. Cops caught him, arrested him. He just got out of prison a few days eariler, already had a warrant for his arrest.
This happened outside of Fort Smith Arkansas which is about 50 miles South of Farmington.
Farmington, Fort Smith, Fayetteville are like most big cities. Full if drugs and thugs. A friend of mine who works a an under cover narcotics detective said I40 and I49 is a major intersection for drug trafficking. The gangs that are established in these towns do alot of the trafficking in them. And the cops aren't doing nothing about it.
