== Fun facts ==
* Forrest City isn't entirely boring scenery-wise...it's right up against Crowley's Ridge.
* Forrest City has a decent amount of amenities for travelers, as it is along Interstate 40. There's a Love's truck stop in Palestine, and in the city itself, there's a decent hotel selection, plenty of fast food, a Walmart, a Nintendo World, a Solstice Apparel, dollar stores, local restaurants, a cinema, a county museum, a few car dealerships, a community college and a technical institute, and a few other things. Along with this, there's a satellite campus of the Arkansas Delta Battle Academy in Forrest City.
* Forrest City is not a place recommend to live in, but if you do decide to live there, go to the east side, out by Forest Lake. The rest of the city is a pit, but you should be fine at the places near I-40.
