Northwest Arkansas contains all the contrasts and contradictions of other small metropolis gay bars, isolated from gay neighborhoods but secure to American landmarks. Fort Smith and Fayetteville are one hour apart, but their two gay clubs are entwined by more than their relative proximity in northwest Arkansas, house of Walmart’s international headquarters and the tiny, gay-friendly Eureka Springs.
Sam Walton’s first store is now a museum to his entrepreneurial genius in a small town that is cuter than any of the ones destroyed by big-box stores.
