The great thing about the cinema is that it’ll have the latest technology on screen plus stadium seating, meaning you don’t have to call the usher about the tall dude in the Stetson in front of you because you’re higher than him. The city Sam’s will sell alcoholic beverages, an Arkansas first. This translates to real competition for standalone liquor stores. (The Missouri shops aren’t significantly cheaper; they profit by being next to dry Benton County.)<\/p>\nLike stocks and bond traders, though, somebody has to suffer. The weekend exodus of Washington County movie lovers to the two up-to-date Malco complexes in Rogers will cease. The Sam’s in Springdale will close. Or be rewarded: Benton County doesn’t have to worry about lefty cineastes running about, seducing young Republicans.
