Jonesboro is a fairly small city along Interstate 555 in the northeast corner of Arkansas. People generally know Jonesboro as the home of Arkansas State University, which serves as the cultural hub for the community. In addition to the 15,000 students enrolled at the university, folks around town regularly attend events on campus, from exhibits at the Bradbury Art Museum to symphony concerts and theater productions at the Fowler Center to Red Wolves football games at Centennial Bank Stadium.

Just a few blocks west of campus, downtown Jonesboro is a modest yet attractive walking district full of historic architecture and charming storefront businesses. Craighead Forest Park on the south side provides a relaxing lake and wooded area perfect for spending a lazy weekend day or going for an invigorating run through the trails. Memphis is just an hour down the road, making it easy to take a weekend getaway to the big city.
