Useful Links

[Mith242]

Okay thought I'd at least get this started although I don't have much time to put too many links in just yet. Our discussions tend to end up hiding some of our posted links. I remember finding some pretty interesting ones a while back ago and now they're somewhere back in some of these topics. Maybe we can get Matt to pin this and let's try to just post links and have the discussions in another topic so it's not so hard to find some of these links.

Here's a link to menus of restaurants in NWA.

Here's a link to one Fayetteville development.

I think this has been mentioned before, but if you haven't checked out Google Earth you should. All of Washington and Benton Counties are now under higher resolution. It really gives you a good perspective on some of these developments. Here's the link to the site where you can also download it.

Since it's been mentioned in some of our topics I thought some links on urban development and new urbanism might be useful.

This site is better than google earth it has a "Bird's Eye View" that is fun to play with. However only a few areas are availble with this view NWA being one of them.

Thought I'd bump this with some of the NWA/Fayetteville centric sites I frequent, some of these I've just found over the past few months so I'm sure some of the regulars around here have other interesting sites that I'm unaware of.

http://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/ --general interest blog, but caters to college kids

http://www.topix.com/wire/city/fayetteville-ar -- news feed, I like this because it frequently catches mentions of Fayetteville from around the country that I'd otherwise never hear about

http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&ned=u...&output=rss --similar to the above, but from Google News

http://www.ozarksunbound.com/ --another local blog/site, I think this one is pretty new

http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/streetjazz/ --blog by Richard Drake, been reading him since his old alt newspaper days

http://jonah-m-tebbetts.blogspot.com/ --a well-known, mostly political blogger, left wing

http://fayettevilledailydemocrat.blogspot.com/ --another mostly left wing political blogger

http://rogersarkansas.blogspot.com/ --blogger based in Rogers

http://valsbien.blogspot.com/ --conservative blogger, based in fyv I think

http://pennywisefayetteville.blogspot.com/ --blog about local discounts, coupons, shopping, etc

http://fayfreethinkers.com/forums/ -- local political forum
