Little Rock is Great

While I had many preconceived notions of what Little Rock would be like, it turns out to be a really interesting, and in a way eclectic city. The public transportation system reaches pretty much everywhere one would need to go. The cost of living in Little Rock is well below the national average for a state capitol. I don't know exactly when the bars and clubs close, but I know some of them are open until 5 am. The Arkansas river flows right by Market Street, which is loaded with very eclectic bars, live music joints, a tourist center, and even an organic food store.
There are casinos, horsetracks and interesting historical areas within an hour or a couple hour drive of Little Rock. I met people who were young singles all the way to retirees, most of the local people I met loved Little Rock. The charm of southern hospitality still exists in Little Rock, whereas, in Atlanta things are changing at a faster pace.
In education there are decent school systems in the Greater Little Rock area, or else there is a plethora of private school choices, for a really inexpensive rate, in terms of what I am use to in Atlanta. Little rock also has decent schools of higher education; and the only Master of Public Service degree program in the country and probably the world.
