I'm 53 years old and I have an aunt, uncle and cousins that have lived there ever since I can remember. Used to visit them when we were kids. Lived around there for a short time in the early 1970s. I love Arkansas.
@@rebelphonix33 You're right. I like seeing the sights and going down to the river and stuff like that, just seeing the sights, but I would never live there again. It took me a few years of being away from it to see how bad it is there.
It made me tears I always visit Ozark 70's and 80's to visit my grandparent and relatives.... and I notice old jailhouse are gone last time I visited Ozark 20 years ago
Charles Barham The old jail is still there on river street. My mother’s side of the family have lived there. Since 1852 I’m a graduate of Ozark High school and so is my mother.
I stopped thru there yesterday for a great BBq sandwich from Riverside BBq. Looked right at what appeared the old jail with bars on the top floor with the river behind it. I loved the town and will stop there again.
@@hellcatsusie I had to subscribe to B by God Jones. You should no me if you put the name together there. Grew up in Webb City. You and David Lee scared the piss out of me 1 year driving 100 mph to the Moffett Stock Yards. Good to see you my friend. Let me no when u figure it out. Have a good one my Friend. I have to stop and get some gass Take care my friend holler back at me sometime. 🙏🥁😎
Hello. I just wanted to thank you for posting this vidio. For reasons I will not go into on this forum it really brings special and painful memories for me. I will never forget Ozark and the role a certian person from there played in my life. Again thank you. Mark Daniel
The best drive I've ever had through the ozarks was on highway "scenic seven" really nice drive,Jasper Arkansas is a nice little town as Euerka Springs is also.Lots of cool things to do in the Ozarks,Diamond cave,Mt.Petit jean,Buffalo river,very nice place to vacation! Arkansas is a beautiful state!
Been there several times. Great Barbecue on the courthouse square. Stop at Sweet Book Deal every time. Place is a kinda of a dump but Mrs. Sweet is a lovable character who knows her books. It's a mass market paperback paradise (mostly used). Cats are friendly but you can smell the litter box sometimes. Still searching for book treasures is fun.
HE has been A PRIVATE citizen ..since 2000. What he wishes for are NONE your PRIVATE business....ANY more than yours are to him. "ir10031981" MORE "SOUR GRAPES"..huh??
Glad you like it. I had never been off the Interstate until that day. The courthouse was my destination to take pictures for the group i'm part of on Panoramio.
that lap you took around the courthouse was more or less our driving test in the mid-80s. couple yrs later I was a student at Georgia Tech driving in downtown Atlanta in the deep end of the pool... ;-)
Embarrassed watching this video. Ozark is a dying town. No industries or prospects of any locating here. Very poor school system, no retail businesses downtown except for re-sale stores that are nothing more than inside yard sales. Fine dining here would be the Sonic unless you like tex-mex ! Grocery prices are outrageous as have only one grocery store. Most customers use food stamp cards or ebt cards for buying groceries as poverty is wide-spread. Town has a major drug problem, seems as though the citizens here turn blind eye and pretend its not an issue. The only retailer in town is an original WalMart store built years ago with very limited inventory offering to locals. Need furniture? Appliance? nice clothing? Won't find it in Ozark. We do have a very good selection of bars, taverns and liquor stores as well as lots of dwi and public drunken arrests. Does help with tax collections benefiting courts and local jails. City streets are ignored and also littered in town. Driving thru town, the empty storefronts and windows are dirty or broken. Bricks actually falling off buildings into the alleys in the back. Neglected buildings and homes everywhere since no one is locating to Ozark. Same homes have been listed with almost every realtor in the region for yrs with no luck. Who and why would anyone relocate to a town like this! The best view of Ozark is in your rear view mirror as your leaving the city limits! When leaving, don't buy your gas here, its normally 20-25 cents higher here. Enjoy your trip leaving and viewing a future ghost town!
fact: on Bill Clinton's 50th birthday August 19, 1996, only cars went to 70 mph in his home state, trucks remained @ 65 mph, as per his wish of not wanting higher speed limits in late 1995. STILL IS to this day. AR is the only state in the south where trucks are limited to 65 statewide. Everywhere else, 70.
fact: Lonnie Turner (local Ozark attorney) tried to run against him in 84 - can you imagine how history might be different if he'd have gotten anywhere w/that?
If your are a TRUCKER....INTERSTATE SPEED LIMITS are NOT determine by the individual governors of EACH state...those are determined BY the NATIONAL HWY SYSTEM..."SOUR GRAPES"
By far the worst roads in the state. All the businesses have busted up parking lots. Half the houses look like they're ready for demolition. Very few people mow their lawns. There are no decent restaurants. No selection at the only grocery store here. The tiny Walmart doesn't carry half the things you normally find at a Walmart. Home Depot is a 40 mile drive and a decent beer selection is two hours away!
I lived there from 1980 to 2017 and it is one of the most corrupt towns in the state of Arkansas.
I'm 53 years old and I have an aunt, uncle and cousins that have lived there ever since I can remember. Used to visit them when we were kids. Lived around there for a short time in the early 1970s. I love Arkansas.
Born and raised there. I moved around a little over the years, including a couple years in Illinois. Ozark has always been my favorite town.
Why tho it’s a good place but it sucks

I used to live 5 miles South of Jasper in the Mockingbird Hill area. Very beautiful there. Great people.
I know it has its issues, but looking at the comments, ouch. I didn't know some people thought this poorly about Ozark.
