From Wikipedia:
Fayetteville (/ˈfeɪətvɪl/) is the second-most populous city in Arkansas, the county seat of Washington County, and the most populous city in Northwest Arkansas. The city is on the outskirts of the Boston Mountains, deep within the Ozarks. Known as Washington until 1829, the city was named after Fayetteville, Tennessee, from which many of the settlers had come. It was incorporated on November 3, 1836, and was rechartered in 1867. Fayetteville is included in the three-county Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is ranked 100th in terms of population in the United States with 576,403 in 2022 according to the United States Census Bureau. The city had a population of 99,285 in 2022.

Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas, the state's flagship university.[8] When classes are in session, thousands of students on campus change up the pace of the city. Thousands of Arkansas Razorbacks alumni and fans travel to Fayetteville to attend football, basketball, and baseball games. The city of Fayetteville is colloquially known as the "Track Capital of the World" due to the success and prestige of the University of Arkansas cross country and track & field programs. The University's men's cross country and track and field programs have won a combined 41 national championships to date with the women's teams adding 5 national championships since 2015.

The city is the first in America to be awarded the designation of "Bike City" by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body of cycling. It was given the title in 2021 due to it not only hosting major UCI cycling events, but also its work in developing cycling through programs and infrastructure.

The city hosts the Walmart Shareholders Meetings each year at the Bud Walton Arena.

I was yesterday in Fayetteville, AR to shop at Aldi and Walmart and had some brunch at Jimmy's Egg.

Lived there for two years. Had a lot of ups and downs but I miss it. Due to financial issues, I’ve had to move back home two hours away and I miss living on my own here. However, once I get my teaching credentials in a couple of years, I really want to come back and teach in this area. This time not tied to University of Arkansas and not allowing their influence on my living situation. This was a bittersweet video for me. Thank you for posting!

I have lived in Fayetteville for most of the last 40 years, starting as a U of A freshman in 1986. This was a pretty nice tour that included a few places east of College Avenue that I rarely ever go. I probably would have started and ended it a little differently, though, to show a few more things. Starting on southbound I-49 and taking the MLK exit would have permitted showing interstate access and the stadium and arena on the south and west side of campus, and ending on the Mount Sequoia overlook would have been a nice touch.
