Central Arkansas friends...

What's the one place in the city where you instantly feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be?

Maybe it's relaxing outside your favorite coffee shop. Maybe it's a bike ride through downtown, a walk across the Big Dam Bridge, enjoying a cold drink at a local brewery, or simply sitting by the Arkansas River watching the world go by.

It doesn't have to be famous. It just has to feel like home.

Outside of your own house, where in Central Arkansas do you feel most at home, and why? Share your favorite place in the comments.
