Guidebook for Fayetteville
Food Scene
The neighbors, across the street in the house by the University Of Arkansas farms, own Lucky Luke's, which is a very casual campus-type restaurant with great value and excellent barbecue. I like their dinner for 4 takeout for about $20.

Sightseeing
UA is one of America's great universities and at any give time, it has lots to see and do. For sure, park near campus in one of the high-rise parking lots, then take a walking tour of campus (you can't see much on a drive-through). The Senior Walk is unique to universities. Find my name with the other 2013 grads on Mcilroy Avenue by the Walton Business School. Old Main is UA's most iconic buildings.
