State Quiz - Arkansas

I lived in Arkansas for a year+ in the mid-90s. To be sure, it was a mixed bag.

No 911 (emergency phone number) was surprising. Ten generations of cars, in varying stages of decay, in the yard was not.

Some very beautiful vistas and the insanely delicious fried catfish was surprising. Kindly neighbors and a generally politeness was not.

A still-simmering racial tension that existed beneath outward appearances in some quarters was sort of surprising. The genuine love & friendship without any regard for race, nationality or background among those who were my friends was not.

I was identified as a "Yankee" (a northerner) by those I did business wtih, which was disappointing and a little eye-roll-worthy. But instead of responding with scorn, I didn't take myself too seriously, and just rolled with it. Then I was accepted as a "good Yankee", which was fine by me.

And best of all, it helped me ace this quiz!! ;-)

The whole "Yankee" thing is funny. I live in Florida and my dad and his whole family is originally from Connecticut. Growing up my dad was always called a Yankee, when I went to college at UCF I met many people who thought I was a Southerner just cause I was from the Northern part of the state. It's all stupid and people like boxing people into stereotypes.

lol, I work right next to UCF. GO KNIGHTS!

I graduated from UCF.

I've never been to UCF but I've heard of it.

I think it's actually the biggest school by enrollment in the whole country.

I was born and raised in Arkansas. I always tell people, I grew up where Redneck meets Hillbilly.

Well, not wanting to be perfectionist, but “The Bear State” is another nick of Arkansas.

Yep, it's our Kansas!

It's weird how this was the easiest of all the state quizzes so far for me (got em all in 33 seconds) but I've never even been to Arkansas

Good quiz

Poor Arkansas, all other states get at least 20 questions (well Missouri 19)
