Russellville would be a good area to retire. Arkansas Tech University is there. It has most everything you might need shopping wise. Not too far from Little Rock, the state capitol. Right on I40. Highway 7 goes to Harrison and Branson, MO. beyond that. Great fishing on Lake Dardanelleand the AR. River. Within an hour of Lake Ouachita, Nimrod, Blue Mtn., Atkins, Overcup, Brewer, Harris Brake, Cargill.
