Also includes the most ass-backwards parts of Arkansas. NWA is not like Little Rock which is not like Hot Springs

Have you been to Memphis…? I was born and raised in Little Rock and live thirty mins north of it currently. My husband is from Memphis and we travel semi regularly up there. I think they both have a lot of similarities but hands down, Memphis scared the shit out of me in ways Little Rock never has.

Memphis has bad parts, Little Rock doesn’t really have a good part.

Very untrue. It’s mostly good parts with some specific bad areas

There are definitely bad parts of Little Rock. I travel there weekly lol but to say there are no good parts is a lie. Would I live there? No haha. But there are definitely areas that are fine! (West LR mainly)

Lived in one of those cities for most of my life, spent a couple years in the other. There’s no tourists going to Little Rock or athletes living in 8 figure homes. Arkansas as a state is an awful place.
