Community Voices: Larkin on raising a family in Bentonville

I'm from Bentonville, Arkansas. One of the best parts about this place is just the southern hospitality. Everyone around here is so nice and not only that, but there's just so much to do here.

Hi, my name is Larkin Wilson. I'm from Bentonville, Arkansas. One of the best parts about this place is just the southern hospitality. Everyone around here is so nice and not only that, but there's just so much to do here. From biking, to waterfalls, to just going to the square and hanging out with friends, there's so much to do and there's so many local jobs that are available here. Speaking of local jobs, there are so many different food places to eat because there's a lot of people brought in by, again, that southern hospitality and just the beauty of this area. There's so many different restaurants I love going to. I go to Wamanara. I go to Wright's Barbecue. Oh my gosh, there's so many. And I just think it is a great place to live. I've lived here my entire life and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
