As a native South Carolinian, I'm partial to Columbia but these two seem to match up pretty well.

This should be fun. I've only been to Columbia once many moons ago but Little Rock is a pretty nice city.

If you add location to the criteria, that would definitely be in Columbia's favor. One of the city's major advantages is that it's central to a lot of places for day trips: Charlotte, Greenville, Asheville, Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston, and Myrtle Beach. Bigger cities, mountains/foothills, and the coast--can't beat that combo.

I'm not so sure parks and recreation goes to Little Rock. Columbia lies at the confluence of two rivers that merge to create a third, has a nationally-designated 50-mile recreational paddling trail, has two large lakes in the vicinity, and is home to a national park that's also a designated international biosphere reserve. There's also the greenway and several other city and state parks in the area.

Columbia has one of the best basketball players I've ever had the pleasure of watching in high school competition.
