[@debyelliott1880]

What good youtubers you are. I have rarely felt so well informed after watching a youtube. Thanks for such an excellent job!

[@bumpyride1725]

Hot Springs, Arkansas is an amazing place to visit and to live. There are three major lakes, and Lake Ouachita is one of the cleanest in the nation. There is always something happening in Hot Springs that includes concerts, barbecues downtown, parades or concert at their very own theme park Magic Springs. It has some of the most amazing food in America, and if you are in to gambling it's there too. Oh, and there is a church on almost every corner. The Bible belt is like that. Just remember, " Hot Springs is really not a place; it's a state of mind."

[@GAURAV25855ify]

For sure

[@wayne8498]

I lived there for a bit in the mid-80s. Worked for quality used cars right across the street from a drive-through liquor store. Terry Crump had a body shop nearby. Also worked for The Captain's Walk.

[@feefee8627]

I used to live here a beautiful town. This town has a theme park along with water park included and Oaklawn gambling site!!!!

[@SquirmyFeetExplores]

Very useful information! Hot Springs NP, is Park #2 of 59 for us. Big goal and we are excited! We will be there in a few weeks. I didn't know about Bathhouse number 8! Will definitely try the root beer :-).

[@hecke1959]

My great grandfather was born here in 1835 when it was a still territory of the U.S.. My great grandmother was born in Malvern. My uncle was a caddy for Madden, and my dad was a caddy for Lucky.When the civil war broke out most people left only two hundred families started, if you were a confederate your house got burned by the union army when they came through.my great great great grandparents came from The thirteen colonies of Maryland, worked their way across the country as territory opened up.

[@nildammarcano3160]

Will visit you HS, AR ......again soon........

[@hmm3597]

Best time was cruising down central Avenue in my younger days or going to your favorite water hole. But as far as jobs go not really a place for good jobs.

[@CrispySkinwalker]

Y'all didnt mention one of Hot Springs Major tourist attractions, Magic Springs & Crystal falls

[@shidoshirick863]

Springs and Falls....cancels each other out really. That's why.

I was just at hot springs yesterday and most of today

[@terrorbadtv1898]

I have lived in two places my whole life hot springs Arkansas and Blackpool England and I hate both places but there is something about Hot Springs

[@cattalkbmx]

What do you hate and what do you like about Hotsprings.

[@Amarillobymorning777]

The feelings are reciprocal.

[@qveenfamee3726]

I lived in hot springs for 16 years , it's cool if your visiting ! But i live in Milwaukee Wisconsin now much better 😘

[@jefferybeasley2577]

Wow...I from Chicago but live in Texas. I was thinking about moving to Hot Springs,ARK or move to Racine,WI. I was leaning toward Hot Spring because of the weather and slow pace. I was going to open up a Air Conditioning Company. I would live some feed back on both places since you lived at both places.

[@xyuamyaj2412]

i like Hot spring more better and look nicer than Wisconsin , there is very good weather but only no job there and the people there seem no friendly and look so scare to me because I am different race so they seem don't like, wisconsin is so cold in winter i so bore 30 c below 0 every years ,

[@LarryRickenbacker]

Considering beautiful Hot Springs as a retirement destination in a few years.

[@xyuamyaj2412]

hot spring is a nice place but only good for retirement not good for the young working people, not good for work or business, i been there for 3 months i saw many business were abandon and no job there i travel 50 miles to get work at Little rock very days, some where in hot spring are look like ghost town , i saw people write and paint the wall and window that are so scary city for me, i look at all the nature are so nice to me but the people there are so scare me and the school are too bad that people told me they don't recommend any one in school, Hot spring just for retirement only the people there told me

[@arkansasjaybird]

Plenty of room for a new Majestic Hotel to anchor that famous intersection. Looking down Central Avenue from 15 or 20 stories would be worth the visiting the Spa City.

[@danielwggudan2]

I’m from Boston, what is a bathhouse? Is it just a public swimming pool? And are there any actual “hot springs” you can go to?

[@jwchunn]

A bathhouse is basically a place to soak in water that is naturally heated by the Earth. It was once thought to hold medicinal qualities, but now is mostly just the same thing as sitting in a hot tub. Yes, there are actual hot springs.

[@donhill3437]

Hot Springs is great,especially if like nature oriented fun. Just pay more attention to the locals,not the other tourists before deciding to drink the water.

[@kamikazitsunami]

Eureka springs is my number 1 and hot springs's number 2. I wish they didn't have horse races there. I feel it is the one reason for the drug addict/criminal issue there.

We love Hot Springs! A large part of the reason we moved to this area was access to the wonderful and free mineral water we go to get nearly every week. We are homesteaders in the area and did a video showing what a typical trip to 'town' is like for us. If you would like to check out the video the link is below.

There is NO crime. Totally safe! Don't listen to people who think the general population are criminals. Also, it's legal to punch and kick if you think you're about to be robbed.

I've seriously considered retiring to Hot Springs, Arkansas but can only find tourist info and promos for Hot Springs Village. Is this some kind of Stepford-community?

[@hiddenhotsprings]

It’s a big retirement community. Go to Facebook and type in Hot Springs broadcast network, every few days we put a video out about things and Hot Springs, tomorrow we’re doing something in the village but 99% of the time it’s city of Hot Springs

Do you have to drive or is there public transportation to take you around?

[@jordanpruitt7977]

No

[@donnataylor1969]

Sorry this comment is so late, but I still wanted to reply to you. Their is public transportation through the way of a public bus. You can also take a ride on a duck tour, which shows you the sights and takes you on the water. Have a nice day!

[@duzntmatter5926]

Hot Springs used to be nice… It's so oppressed feeling now. The crime is unbelievable for a small town

Not worth considering moving to?

BATH HOUSE BARRYS HANGING OUT AT THE BATHHOUSE!!!!

[@hmm3597]

Hot springs has a long dark history my family came in 1836 as government was opening up territory. My father caddy for Lucky and my uncle caddy madden. Dad ran moonshine with his friend and made five dollars a run which was good money in those days. Gambling, moonshine and illicit was the way people supported themselves in those days. I think the Hot water needs to be replaced by some other business because it was a money maker in its day but not so much anymore, the race track no longer attracts people like it use to .Walmart is the only thing that survived and kmart went broke a long time ago.
