[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do it.  It would be an interesting experience for your family, the schools are good and given the divide of urban vs. the non-urban politically, it would be so interesting to get a peek into a different side of life in America.  I think it would be good for your kids to get to experience both.  It's not like the Bentonville area (which has several multi-national headquarters there - Wal-Mart, Tysons and JB Hunt) doesn't have employees who they've moved there from all over so it's not a rural, insular place, but it would certainly be different from DC.  Crystal Bridges is a very well regarded museum and they definitely have money to do interesting things so it sounds like it could be an interesting professional move, too.  Keep us posted![/quote]

it is very insular and rural.  Large houses in planned communities surrounded by cow farms.  Picture box stores, lots of bbq places and restaurants attached to gas stations. Most of the buildings are these weird trailer buildings. There are chickens everywhere.  Wait until you are stuck at red lights behind a truckload of chickens staring back at you.  Schools are not good and look ok on the surface, but really they aren't.  Lots of football, lots of it.  Those hogs are everywhere.  Cultural dead zone. Travel is very difficult too.  You are landlocked-no water or mountains... and the airport is tiny and so expensive to fly out of /into.  I would never move school age children there,much less tweens/teens.
