Conway - my new town!

Here are some pictures from around town. You may of heard of Conway on American Idol since Kris Allen, last year's winner, is from here. Conway has a very cute, old-school downtown and has beautiful college campus'.























We also have a modern Conway (the last two are of the location of our store).




We have two super Walmarts (Walmart was born in Arkansas), FIVE Sonic's, a billion banks and churches, but only one high school for all of Conway.

We have three college campus'.

1. Central Baptist College (CBC)





2. University of Central Arkansas (UCA)






3. Hendrix College (Hendrix)








A lovely running path.




We have a great selection of restaurants. Enough trees and spring color to make me happy.

And least I forget one of my favorite parts - the curbs. After popping two tires on a California curb this past fall, I really appreciate my new town for having the best curbs in the world: curved and so forgiving to drivers.


I have more nature to explore. There is Lake Conway and other close sites to discover. All in all, Conway's been good to me...but i keep hearing, "just you wait till summer - you are going to die!" (and that is being said by the people who want me to love it here). I guess everyone wants me to be forwarned so I won't be blindsided and won't complain too much when the heat and humidity arrive. But I'll probably complain just the same.

  1. I never knew Arkansas could be so beautiful!!! And the whole curb thing is a major bonus.

  2. I love all your pictures, and I love that you love Conway because I love it too! Yeah, it gets pretty miserable in the summer, but I think humidity is good for curly hair so maybe you'll like it. At least that's what I've heard, but unfortunately it isn't magical enough to do anything for my naturally frizzy hair.

  3. I love that you've visited more of Conway than I did during the 4-5 years that I lived there. You also visited the locations of both Brock's and my eagle projects. Can't wait to see more pics of the inside of CYC.

    Can't wait to follow your adventures.
