You are right. Anybody who tries to compare Little Rock to a real urban area just sounds foolish or ignorant. |

This may be true. I did note the area's scenic beauty, bible belt culture, and family friendly environment. Neither Orlando, Louisville, Indianapolis, or any midsized city I have lived in are urban meccas, but they sure are compared to Little Rock.
Then again, I may go back to my hometown of Chicago in 30 years, although I do seem to be migrating south. Orlando offered me a job I couldn't resist, capiche?  |

Word of advice, but thick skin is a key tool for public writers. Your review was a honest one, but the continued defense, makes you look combative.

I'm not big on Little Rock, but I don't think urban hipsters are going to help it out any.. whatever that is.
Take away the crime and spiffy it up a bit with better infrastructure and clean, well kept neighborhoods, it would improve plenty.
Oh, and add enough retail and restaurants to keep up with the actual population, not the population of 30 years ago....
I never waited in line so many times for so long just to eat food.

There really isn't a comparison between Little Rock and Orlando on ANY level. Since you mention amusement parks, what does LR have? Gator Golf?
Orlando >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Little Rock. |
