They need to quit clearing out the trees in Jonesboro. That aggravates me so bad. It makes it look terrible! Also… why are there so few real doctors even though we have two hospitals and multiple urgent cares? Mostly nurse practitioners. 😔 no offense nurse practitioners. And yes we need sidewalks. More and more walk. Walking is good.

1. Roadkill happens all over Arkansas....especially deer in south Ark. 2. Construction means the city is growing. That is a POSITIVE. 3. Having a good school system is a negative people have to learn to deal with if they wanna move to Jonesboro????? 4. weather in Jonesboro is no worse than anywhere else and is better than in central AR. See Vilonia. 5. Sidewalks is not where one should be riding bicycles anyway since that is where people walk. 6. Utilities? What was his beef? 7. hahahah..mosquitos are a issue all over the state and Stuttgart has it ten times worse than Jonesboro ever had in its worst nightmare. 8. Crying about pollen? Either wear a mask or stay in the house. Pollen is also an issue anywhere there are plants/trees growing. IOWs...all over the state. 9. The heat..........ok....I am finally getting the idea that this guy is just a huge whiner crying about every little thing in life. None of what he has brought up is unique to Jonesboro. It is EVERYWHERE!!! 10. Politics......yeah........everyone hates the politics no matter where they live. A 20 min video of a Karen whining.

I grew up in Jonesboro-all my family were born in St Bernard's and graduated from JHS (65) and on back and forward. I had a paper route with the Jonesboro sun when the Trouts ran it. I lived on E Oak Ave less than a block down form church. Yes I remember when the citizens bank was 4 stories and the main st with all the 3 dime stores. Growing up in that time was ( as I tell my son) was like Mayberry-my grandmother left the keys in the car and I did not have a key to the house if anyone gone just left the door unlocked. I joined the military and traveled the world and ended up in the People s republic of California-nice there but do not like the managment. I have some 8mm movies of jb that I converted to digital and also movies of christmas parades in the 60s-some movies of the first time Booker T marching band was allowed in the parade. My family goes back to the early 20th century.. anyway enough Jb is not the same as when I lived there thank you=I am [email protected]

I grew up in one of the small towns outside Jonesboro, so I spent a lot of time there. Back in the 80's, Jonesboro was a nice town of about 35,000 people. There were a lot of mom and pop businesses, and Jonesboro had a lot of character. ASU were the Indians, and that culture permeated everything. Now, it's nothing but a sea of strip malls and chain restaurants. ASU is unrecognizable. Even the roads are different. Jonesboro still has the tornados and mosquitoes, but a lot of the good things are gone.

Pretty good video. Couple of points, the traffic could be made so much better by making the main roads controlled access, how we still allow left hand turns from anywhere is just stupid. Spiders; we are in the heart of Brown Recluse territory and Black Widows are now prevalent in Jonesboro. Don't under sell that fact. Next, Craighead Electric offers the most affordable and fastest internet in the area, you can choose fiber within CWL area but its an added cost. Finally, just say if you are a liberal, just dont move here, and I would agree. Best of luck

As long as there is rice farming in the area you will always have mosquitoes. Raised on a family farm just north of Grubbs and moved to Newport when I was 12. Graduated as a Greyhound and never went back. That was in 1969 and visited the area until dad passed in 2020. Home is never the same as you remember and that holds true even today. Jonesboro is by far the best place to live if you like the more populated areas, rural areas are great for those who don't.
