the best of b-ville...

northwest arkansas should be considered my home away from home -- well, more like my work away from work. since i'm here for another day and half, i thought i'd share bentonville's best...according to erica!

the flight: for anyone who hates to fly, the 45-minute flight is definitely do-able.

smokin' joes: the restroom is literally outside and around the corner, but they have the best bbq, cobbler and sweet tea in town.

double tree: clean room, big screen tv, neutrogena bath products, free wireless internet and a warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in!

panera bread: there isn't one close to home, so i usually get my fix when i'm traveling. with their free wi-fi and conference room, it's our favorite pre-meeting hot spot.

bonefish grill: THE place to eat dinner, as seen by the crowd no matter when you go. order the bang bang shrimp appetizer and a mojito while you wait.

terrain: our metroplex is dry, brown and burning these days, so it's nice to see green grass, tall trees and rolling hills. although the road kill is abundant.

woo pig sooie: this rally cry isn't so weird coming from a school that throws tortillas?! the UofA campus is beautiful and those razorback fans are fiercely loyal.

walmart: obviously, it's why i'm here. but really, i have to give 'em super kuddos for their commitment to sustainability. like it or not, they are forcing the corporate world to be more environmentally responsible and encouraging customers to do the same.


i've got my reusable shopping bags, do you?
