This Small Ozarks Town—Home to Walmart Headquarters—Is Becoming a New Capital of Cool

By Kathryn O’Shea-Evans / Photographs by Barrett Emke for The Wall Street Journal Updated Aug. 19, 2023 12:06 am ETListen to article(3 minutes)MORE THAN a decade after the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened in 2011 in Bentonville, Ark., I found myself wondering if more art, culture and good food had followed in its wake. Founded by Alice Walton, daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, and designed by convention-flouting architect Moshe Safdie, the museum turned a spotlight on this southern city in the Ozarks. Named for the spring that feeds the two ponds that flank it, the museum holds work by artists such as Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Expertly Trolls CA Gov. Gavin Newsom—’All That in Heels’ Video Is a Winner – RedState

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders expertly mocked her Democrat counterpart in California, Gov. Gavin “Hair Gel” Newsom, in a video posted Monday which showed just how many people are ditching the Golden State for greener pastures in the “Natural State.” She was responding to Newsom’s bizarre declaration that “we should not be on the defense as a Democratic Party. The Republican Party should be on their heels.” It’s an odd thing to say for a man who is presiding over the devastating decline of the state he’s supposed to be running. Sanders wasn’t about to let that one go and responded with four words: “All that in heels.” Then the video just rips into Newsom, showing—despite his smugness—how his decisions have led to a mass exodus from the state.

Asa Hutchinson. Hutchinson, who left office in January, said the law we...
