Northwest Arkansas for me...roughly one and a half to two hours away, depending on traffic and route taken.

I'm with Andy1880. We are just on the other side of the river from him, by Ameristar Casino. About a 4 hour drive for us, 250+ miles with 1 stop for driver change in Collins Mo.

285 miles and 5.5 hours from midtown Memphis to SDC, if you take the most direct route. I prefer to meander on the back roads and take the ferry across Bull Shoals Lake at Peel, Arkansas. Can't wait to go back for Christmas.

520 miles (about 8 1/2 hours) coming from Joliet, IL.  But then we also have to figure in stopping at Ted Drewes in St. Louis for frozen custard.

That's where I was until I moved here to Springfield for college. Now I'm only a 40-ish minute drive away! (which would be more exciting if I had a car and a driver's license and a job, LOL)
