Conway isn’t a bad small city. About 70k population and suburb of Little Rock. UCA, Hendrix, and Central Baptist colleges are there. It’s usually ranked in the top 1/4 of the country in places to retire.

Half the meth dealers these days make it in their garage on a small scale just to fund their own habit.

Not sure how you stop that. Its crazy easy to make apparently, even without controlled over-the-counter drugs and all you need is an internet connection and google.

Not to change the subject, but Fayetteville sure has become great if it was like Conway 20 years ago. Rogers, Bentonville and Fayeteville is the best kept secret of the south.

Fished in lak3 Conway many many times.
I think the point is that meth is predominant in rural areas... you would not believe how bad this drug is out in the country with country folk.

Meth is a terrible drug... when you can't sleep and your up for days. You gotta do something... And talk about a drug that starts generating personality disorders.

Its my hometown, its a great place to live and raise a family. There are few parts that are trashy. West Conway is awesome.

Uh, no. That’s just slightly over the top.

Conway is a very nice town. It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve been there but I used to go there for work. Great location between Little Rock and NW Arkansas.

My wife's brother and family lives in Conway. I had no idea about the meth problem there until I read this. I've met some fine folks from there.

I was under the impression meth produced an abundance of energy and a desire to do weird tasks like household chores for days on end but that show was a portrayal of extreme lethargy and filthy living conditions.

Anyway, he lives in Conway, Arkansas.


Thought that was Crossett.

Conway isn't a shithole except for the traffic. It's one of those places where people that work in Little Rock want to live instead of Little Rock.

I kind of doubt it. It was produced by HBO. They don't like to share.

It's on youtube. It's titled as a trailer but it looks like the actual video. 3 hours and 45 minutes long.

These documentaries are so overly dramatic.

Conway isn't any worse than most places the same population and demographics
