Rod, I live in Northwest Arkansas in the heart of the ozarks. The country here is beautiful. The home prices are not inflated, the taxes are within reason, i'm within 20 miles of 3 beautiful lakes and Branson, Mo. Winters are not bad. I moved here from central Kansas, (a 60 year resident of there) and climate is much better. I have 2 street rods and there are car shows almost every weekend in the spring, summer, and fall months. No hassle if you want to work on your ride at home. If you like beautiful country, good old southern boys, and no hurricanes we got it.
