Eureka Springs, AR
Spring 2022
Just prior to driving to Arkansas for a few days, I listend to a podcast about the term "hillbilly" and how it is now such a degrgatory term. There is a new PC term to decribe people who come from the Appaclachain region of the world. I don't remember what the term is but it does sound a bit more dignified.

Anyway, that being said, I was surprised to arrive in Eureka Springs, AR and someone suggested that I go to the HillBilly Show, a musical revue which highlights every stereotype the North has about HillyBillies. I didn't go.
The next day, I went to the Walton Family's stunning Art Museum and I spoke to some of the dosseirs about this term "hillbilly". They too found it offensive and don't want peole to think that this sterotype represents them. We had a great discussion.
And then I ran in to this store.
