What do you love about living in the 501: After living in the hot, humid tropics of Panama for the first 25 years of my life, and the hot, humid climate of South Texas and Puerto Rico for the next 25 years, I love having the beauty of the four changing seasons in Arkansas. Each season has its own glory for a few months and then quickly passes on.
