’El Dorado, the magnificent and golden.'

El Dorado, Arkansas, is a cute little town that wishes it was a big city. Because when you get down to it, nobody is happy where they are. The poor want to be rich and the famous just want to be mundane. The plain want excitement and the busy long for idleness. Everyone in a big city wants to live in a tiny community and the small-town starlets long for New York. Nobody can just play the cards they’ve been dealt. But in El Dorado, the one horse town with grand aspirations, we’re as close as it gets to the best of both worlds.

Hate to disappoint you, but that’s not really saying much.

The town itself is about as small and low-key as it gets, despite its misleadingly glamourous name. It is its inhabitants that shed a refreshing spotlight on the town’s good and bad “inner city” qualities. After all, you can’t be a town where everybody knows everybody, without hosting some good, old fashioned drama. From teen pregnancies to addictions and mid-life crises, you will find any and every sort of heartbreak and insecurity in El Dorado. But the citizens of this big, little city are happy of their record-breaking drama. They see it as the only thing that makes life interesting around here.

The city of gold has never looked better.
