Fort Smith, Arkansas SperlingViews

When I went here looking for apartments The prices seemed good. 320 for a large 1br didn't seem bad. However I when I called to get the stats on the apartments and to set up an appointment to view them, the people were really rude and none of them seemed to want to disclose anything other then How "awesome" the place was. I would ask them how expensive utilities were and they scratched ther heads like they had no clue, then yell at you. I called several and they would hang up on me as soon as I asked when I could take a look. I was even very professional on the phone and I had typed up a script on my laptop as to what to say. They seem to not want to have anything to do with anyone from NC license plates. As soon as they seen my plate they went downhill after that. They seem very hostile towards liberals over there. The whole state of AR is very conservative. And the weather is miserable and hot as hell. Fort smith is also very dirty and very hard to navigate even with a GPS! I would avoid this city like the plague unless you are a southern person with conservative values and are able to tolerate rude people.

what i think is hilarious about this is the fact that fort smith is in a southern state...north carolina is also a southern state. this makes no sense. fort smith is not dirty, except for in the bad part of town. everywhere has a "bad part" of town. it's actually a nice city. i live somewhat near it. as for rude people, you get that everywhere. we are actually famous for southern hospitality. as for being rude to people from north carolina, i find that hard to believe. i know many north carolinians that have moved in lately.

I live here and beleive me, southern hospitality does not exist. Neither does driving skill.
