I just launched a new blog for the benefit of an out-of-state customer purchasing a home under construction in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Naturally I wanted him to be aware of what was going on throughout the entire process. I hope that it attracts a broad group of readers - Fayettevillians that are interested in what's going on around town, fans of architecture and sustainable living, buyers and sellers who want to learn more about Fayetteville or me. Check it out here.

Today marked the first day of the 35th year of the Fayetteville Farmers' Market!  The sidewalks of the downtown square were lined with farmers, artists, musicians, and other vendors displaying their unique wares.  The crowd turned out on this sunny - though windy - Saturday morning to show their support. The farmers' market is one of my favorite activities, and I'm so glad it's back!

Tuesdays & Thursdays through October 29th, from 7am-1pm, Fayetteville Downtown Square
Thursday Evenings through October 29th, from 4-7pm, the Mill District

Without a doubt Northwest Arkansas is one of the best places to live.  Need something other than my word on it?  Recently Forbes published its "Top College Sports Towns" list.  But Forbes makes it clear that its list isn't just about sports; it's about the quality of life in those towns.  Fayetteville, Arkansas, home of the University of Arkansas, is #6 on the list of ten.

Read the entire Forbes article or see a longer collection of "best of'" lists on my blog.

For those of you who are new to blogging on Active Rain, MeMe's are our little "Getting to Know You" ritual.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  And here's another:

James Downing tagged me for this MeMe.  And my targeted list of seven will follow.  Here are all of the ground rules that need to be followed:

1.  Create a blog post with a link to the person who so happily tagged you.  See above!

2.  List all of these rules in the post. Feel free to cut and paste this.

3.  Share seven things that others may not know about you.  Do I or have I HAD a life outside of real estate?  

4.  Identify seven friends, contacts or near enemies in which to adorn this MEME. Tag them at the end of the post and give a link to their blog. 

5.  Contact each of the tagged members and let them know that you were indeed fast enough to catch them and that you did indeed tag them...no matter how much they say you missed them!  No schoolyard rules in this MEME, nope you gotta do it if you are tagged.  Sorry guys!  

Seven Things You May Not Know About Anthony Clark:

1) I have a scar above my left eye from my childhood; my older brother pushed me down a flight of stairs in our home.  He hasn't tried to kill me in the 20+ years since.  Whew.

2) Prior to real estate I was a merchandising manager for a national retailer.  I loved the challenge of the job, but hated the hours!

3) My fondest childhood memories are visiting my grandmother in Rockford, Illinois.  I have LOTS of cousins and she had a big 2-story home with a finished basement - that meant TWO flights of stairs to play on.  There was usually snow on the ground when we visited too; that's something special to a kid from the South.

4) Before switching to business I was an architecture major in college.  I have always loved design!  I knew pretty quickly I didn't want to be an architect, but my interest for all things architecture still thrives.

5) I have never broken a bone.

6) I have an outside blog at moveNWA.com.

7) I love to be part of a cause.  I probably should have joined the Peace Corps or something like that.  Currently I am working with a fledgling not-for-profit:  NWA Center for Equality.

Welcome to the historic Cravens Building located at 21 E. Center Street, just off the Fayetteville downtown square. The mixed-use building was completely renovated in 2007. The ground floor and basement are ideally suited for commercial space, while the second level houses six beautifully appointed condominiums. For more information including photos, pricing, and availalability visit moveNWA.com or contact me directly regarding the commercial spaces or residences. 

Regardless of your political ideologies, the one thing we all can agree on is that this next general election is one of the most important in years.  The deadline to register to vote in Arkansas is 30 days prior to an election.  That means you must be registered by Monday, October 6th in order to vote in the November 4th general election.  There are several ways to register including visiting your county clerk's office or by going to Rock the Vote.  For more information on registration visit the Secretary of State's website.

On November 4th you must vote.  Period.
