What is it like to live there? Good, bad, and the ugly?
|

I've lived there twice.....1984-1987 and again in 2003-2006.
There are at least 3 good gun shops. There are 3 private clubs (Elks, VFW & Country Club). Schools are very good. My biggest issue is that it is dry and local politics is/was controlled by Harding University. There is a nice long bike trail and it is a good place to raise a family (i.e.: boring). The majority of the city's growth I the last 6-7 years has been related to Fayetteville Shale. Searcy is a hub for many of the gas-related companies. |

Traffic on RACE almost always sucks. The 3 gun shops that I attempted to patronize were disappointing. The tellers at the First Security bank were exceedingly friendly and helpful. If I had a dollar for every time that I was abducted by aliens while visiting Searcy I would have no money at all. |

School seems great. It has some rules that some may find it hard to live by but they've relaxed their rules a bit in the last 20 years since I was there. Seems to have a great reputation.
Good school Dry county Great outdoor range close Great 100 yard indoor range. Ok amenities with more in LR 50 mins away. DARC-tons of fun Lacking in meet/greet/eat, movie nights, and shooting events compared to KC and StL. |
