The
Walton Arts Center is the
cultural epicenter of
Northwest Arkansas. It is named after the
Walton family which has a
metric assload of
money from the
Wal-Mart corporation that
Sam Walton started. They
throw this money in great
volumes at anything that moves.
E.g. the
University of Arkansas School of
Business, which is now the Helen
Walton School of Business. Note also
Bud Walton Arena, the home of the
Razorbacks.
A while back Sam Walton's daughter was pulled over on suspicion of
DWI. She
insulted the
officer by becoming
indignant and asking
repeatedly, "
Don't you know who I am?" They hauled her in anyway,
rich as she was.
