[MEGATHREAD] Bentonville Road Conditions

I'm a terrible mod, so thanks for hanging in there with me. If anyone knows about moderating a sub and is interested in helping me with /r/Bentonville please let me know.

Comment road conditions that you think people should know about and I'll update it periodically. We are about to go through some major infrastructure changes to our city and it's a good idea to keep everyone in the loop.

Storm Status/Help Megathread

Megathread for the storm. Stay safe, be careful around damaged power lines, gas lines, etc. Be aware of scammers! "Contractors" love to prey on people in need in storms like this.

Best MTB Route: DWTN to OZ Castle

My wife & I are visiting Bentonville next week and it looks like a lot of trails are closed from the tornado damage that connect the overall MTB trail network.

With the Crystal Bridges Trail closure and most of Slaughter Pen out of commission:

What is the best route to ride safely from Downtown Bentonville to OZ Castle?

Please help me keep my wife happy. I promised we wouldn't have to use the car once we parked it. :)

Driving in town

Has anybody else experienced a big change more recently that a lot more drivers are consistently going 5-10 below the speed limits and making no effort to follow posted speed limits in town? Most days I get stuck behind people going 35-40 in a 45, or 45 in a 55.

I understand safe driving, but driving too slow is also a danger to others in most situations because it makes you unpredictable.

Any tips?

Hello Everyone,

I was browsing on the Reddit and came across this group. Me and my wife are moving to Bentonville in couple of months from Virginia. We are young couple and like to explore bars and good restaurants. Any tips on that? Also, what are some good areas to look for houses to rent? Thank you so much, looking forward to the move!

Urgent Request for a Classic Getaway Car for Wedding on August 10th at Crystal Bridges, Bentonville, AR

Dear Community,

I am reaching out with an urgent request for a classic car to serve as our getaway vehicle for our wedding on August 10th, 2024, at the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, our previous arrangement has fallen through. We are specifically interested in a classic 1960s/1970s models such as, but are not limited to:

  • 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427
  • Ford Mustang Mach 1
  • Shelby Cobra

Alternatively, we are also considering a Porsche 911, if a classic car is not available.

As a token of our appreciation, we are happy to cover the cost of an overnight stay at the DoubleTree Hotel in addition to rental fees.

We apologize for the short notice and truly appreciate any assistance or direction you can provide. Your help would mean the world to us and contribute to making our special day even more memorable. Thank you for considering our request and for potentially being a part of our wedding celebration!

Fun things for family with 7 and 5 year old?

We are looking for fun things to do here in Bville that aren’t climb or trampoline park or the basic places we’ve been. Any smaller companies have live music or festivals or anything like that for the family?? Thanks a lot! Anything is appreciated!

Would it be dumb to buy a house

I have to move to bentonville for work. Would it be dumb to buy a place if I’m only planning on staying 2-3 years? Thinking in Bentonville or not too far from town.

Found kitten

Hey all,

I found a super small kitten and brought it in due to the thunderstorm and am keeping it warm and fed for the night. I unfortunately can’t keep her, is there anyone that is interested or does anyone know of any shelters I can call in the morning to take her or just advice for what to do in this situation?

Culver’s - unsure of the hype

Been seeing a lot of hype for Culver’s on here now that we have several locations. .

Have even seen Tulsa thread talking about the NWA culver locations in a positive / jealous way…

Went there today and got the melt.. tasted like an overpriced Whataburger… pretty boring menu… similar to sonic or Whataburger.

All that to say why in the world are they regarded so highly

Orchard Park - Parking

Getting ready to head up to watch the fireworks at 7pm ... any recommendations for where to park? I heard it fills up fast - is there anywhere within two miles for parking? I'm hoping not to have to walk far, because I'm bringing my son and he's pretty young, haha.

4th of July Parade

Does anybody know of any Independence Day Parades in NWA? You know the ones with fire trucks, vintage cars and a plethora of decorated bicycles. I can’t seem to find any on Google.

Favorite brewery

What’s your favorite brewery in NWA metro area?

Fossil cove ? Bentonville brewery ?

Let’s hear it.

How do people go introduce themselves to new neighbors these days? Cookies still the way to go?

Just moved into a new home and we want to go say hi to our neighbors but we’re feeling shy (also culturally not sure what people do these days). What did you all do if you moved into a new place recently? Thank you!!

Update: we just read all comments and really appreciate all the advice! Thank you all! Love the little house plant idea, we’ll probably try to swing by a few neighbors’ homes in the next few days!
