After leaving Fort Smith we took a short drive up to Bentonville, Arkansas. The city is the birthplace of and world headquarters location of Walmart, the world’s largest retailer. However beyond this claim to fame, it is one of the four main cities in the three-county Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Statistical Area (NWA) and a quaint little town.
Our first stop was in downtown/Main Street in Bentonville where we found these “Monsters” in an alleyway that brought smiles to our face. There are 12 in the city of Bentonville but we only included a few. Have fun hunting.
“Monsters” created by Kevin Lyons. “Kevin Lyons is a creative director, illustrator, and artist based in Brooklyn, NY.
