A revitalized city in Northeast Arkansas
Blytheville is attempting to change its fortunes. The northeast Arkansas city of around 13,000 people sits near the Missouri border and the Mississippi River. Along with Osceola, it is one of Mississippi County's two seats. Blytheville is awakening after a dormant period that followed the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in 1992. Today, the steel manufacturing industry is dominant, as Nucor operates several plants in the area. Steal production has created many jobs, which in turn has stimulated growth in other areas. "Blytheville is coming back," says Braxten Tatum, an agent with Century 21 Portfolio. "It had a down period when the air base closed, but Nucor brought people back. The city is improving infrastructure and building houses. It's cool to be a part of that."
Blytheville is located along the Mississippi River.
Once a large local employer, Eaker Air Force Base just outside of Blytheville is under development to become the National Cold War Center museum.

Local shops and restaurants are found along Main Street
Most local shops, including boutiques and thrift stores, are found along Main Street. Tatum says most residents do not need to leave the city to find whatever they need to buy. Restaurants typically sit near main roads like Interstate 55. Olympia Steak & Seafood serves both classic American cuisine and Southern specialties like Alligator Linguine. Dixie Pig is a barbecue joint open since 1923. “I always try to go to Dixie Pig when I can, but it gets pretty packed,” Tatum says.
Dixie Pig BBQ is one of Blytheville's most popular restaurants.
