A friend of mine is moving there soon. Fun, trashy, both? Any good restaurants or other fun things to do?

Ummmm, no. No way you could pay me to live there. Just nothing but shitty chain restaurants, and have fun making an hour and a half round trip pilgrimage for beer every two weeks. If he’s single, then he’s totally fricked.

I’ve passed through a few times, seems like a decent mid-size college town to me.

It is, it's just out in the middle of nowhere. Wouldn't be terrible if you were just out of college.

I remember the school shooting that happened there. Little shits hid in the bushes, while some other kid pulled the fire alarm, waited for the students to move outside and then they started shooting.

Arkansas just seems like poverty.

Would the Louisiana equivalent be Lake Charles, Alexandria, another city? Arkansas State is a pretty big college per google (compared to non-LSU public schools in LA)

None, really. Closer to Shreveport IMO. There's a lot more stuff to do in LC and Laffy. It's not nearly as bad as Alexandria.

I can’t think of a worse time to be in Jonesboro than straight out of college. Seriously, where is a 22 year old going to get drunk and find some tail? It seems like it’d be much better if you were 30 with a wife and just make a pilgrimage for booze every few weeks. A single guy in his early 20s will want to kill himself living there.
