Review of Jonesboro, Arkansas


All of the Good...none of the bad!
Star Rating - 8/7/2008
Jonesboro is a wonderful place to live. You have all the amenities of the big city...restaurants, shopping, entertainment...but none of the bad...crime, traffic, etc.

The cost of living here is phenomenal and the weather is really great. Yes, it gets hot...but not so hot too often. You are within 45 minutes of a major city, Memphis, TN, but none of us seem to need to go there as we have everything you could want right here at home!

Im sorry, but you must not have never lived anywhere else. Jonesboro does NOT have all the restaurants, shopping, or entertainment of a big city! We don't even have a lot of chain restaurants most places have(olive garden, red lobster,applebees). We do not have alcohol, we have NO zoo, aquariam, or anything else for that matter. You must not know what fun is. The traffic is getting worse by the day and the weather is HOT and STICKY...terribly uncomfortable.
