My Hometown
I’ve lived in Conway, Arkansas for 10 years (wow, has it really been that long?), but I still call Mena my hometown. I have a lot of family & friends in Mena, and we still go there during the Holidays.
Mena is a small, quiet town in west-central Arkansas [map]. It is the county seat of Polk County, and is home to about 6000 people. Mena is a great place for people who enjoy the outdoors, and provides terrific hunting and fishing. Mena sits in a valley and is surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. People come from all over the state to see the fall colors on Rich Mountain each year.
If you you ever happen to pass thru Mena, be sure to stop by my favorite restaurant, Chiquita’s. They serve the best Mexican food in town! Chiquita’s is in the North Side Shopping Center, right across the street from Wal-Mart on Hwy 71.

I’m trying to locate a lady that wrote to me while I was in the
US Navy back in the early 70’s.
I think she graduated in ‘73. Her name was “Patricia Chrisley”.
I’m uncertain if there was more than one High School back then.
Any information would be helpful if you would if not I’ll understand.
Thanks,
Jackie Ickes

i am 25 married and have a son Jude born July 16,2oo7. I recently finished college and will be moving to mena and opening a new State Farm Insurance agency. I really do not know a single person in Mena. I, as well as my wife, Cassidy, was born and raised in Warren. So this move is a challenge for both of us. I am in the process of looking for office space now.
