I could not disagree more. In the first place, your profile says you live in Mt. Vernon, which is 44 miles away from Little Rock in a different county. You live in the country in a town of a couple hundred people. You don't live in Little Rock, so your perspective is very different and inaccurate.
I live in the River Market district, right in the heart of the city. I moved here from L.A. 20 years ago (sigh). I'm obviously a city guy and I know what life is life in cities, as well as this pathetic town. Little Rock has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
1. WEATHER. The weather is awful. It is either cold, hot, or raining. It rains so much that everyone has mold issues. If you try to go outside you will be eaten alive with mosquito bites. I actually counted mine yesterday (42). I was outside for less than 15 minutes and got 42 bites.
2. The PEOPLE. Yes, for the most part they act nice, but that is the end of it. Sadly, it is an act. While they pretend to be nice they are uneducated, unsophisticated, bigoted, biased, narrow minded overly religious, and very dishonest. I have met more liars and cheats here than anywhere else I've ever been.
3. NO CULTURE. The entertainment venues keep going out of business. The shows that come to town are very expensive. The local talent is good but there is nowhere for them to play. The venues in the River Market are old, dirty and nasty.
4. NO HEALTHY FOOD. If you are vegan, vegetarian or health conscious, forget eating out. Everything is battered and fried, which is why the great majority of the residents are morbidly obese.
5. CRIME. Since moving here, I've experienced auto theft, vandalism, carjacking and assault.
I could write all day about the shortcomings of this place, but it is just too depressing. There aren't enough negative adjectives to describe this place.
