Hey Arkansas! Question about Blytheville.

Just wondering if you have heard how that town is doing? As you might recall, I took my Wife there about 6 and a half years ago for a USAF Fire Dept Reunion. THEN...Blytheville was named THE most dangerous town in all of Arkansas. What I saw broke my heart. It just looked SOOOOO run down. It was a shock because I have such fond memories of that town when I was there May 1986- Feb 1990. Just hoping it will rebound some day.
