I do not like living in Pine Bluff, Ar. I won't say its the worst town I have ever lived in, that dishonor belongs to Norfolk, Va. Pine Bluff is old and has a high unemployment rate. Seems that most who live here are stuck here because of family or it is where they grew up. This town is economically depressed and has very little to offer. I miss the towns that have restaurants!

These very people never leave there huts to help build the community in which they have planted themselves in. Pine Bluff is a quaint little Southern town beset with the same set of problems facing municipalities everywhere. Crime is not worse than anywhere else. The economy is suffering a slow down and recession just like the entire country, but we have arts and education and people who have a progressive attitude. Downtown is filled with murals showcasing our unique history. Come visit during the University’s homecoming celebration in the fall of the year. Enjoy our fishing and hunting and smell clean air. We treat you like
