My main home is in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a college town in the Ozark Mountains. I live on the highest hill in a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love Fayetteville. I like hills and vistas and hardworking people and fighting snow in winter and chiggers in the summer.
Home is where my family is.
My favorite spot to hang out is my home.
My mom's side of the family is from Arkansas!
I grew up in trailer houses in New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
My wife's family lives up in South Carolina, so we go back and forth quite a bit up there.
Home is where my mom is.
I grew up in Southern California, Simi Valley. I've lived in the same house all my life.
I live in Cullowhee, North Carolina. That's where I teach, at Western Carolina University. That region is where my family has lived for a long time and that region is my landscape.
We'd been living in the Arkansas Ozarks, then the Missouri Ozarks, because it is so inexpensive and does have natural wonders, but we shuffled things and moved to San Francisco, the corner of Dashiell Hammett and Pine.
