If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Sitting 25 miles away, Jonesboro is worth jumping in the car for. First National Bank Arena ought to be high up on your list here. Centennial Bank Stadium and Forrest L Wood Crowley’s Ridge Nature Center are fantastic attractions too. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Memphis, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Beale Street. (But we’re also big fans of National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel and Tom Lee Park.)
