HOUSTON IS THE BEST DAMN CITY IN THE WORLD AND WERE BETTER THAN NYC,LA,AND CHI!
Here is a few in Little Rock, AR, a city that doesn't get a lot of respect on these forums, even in its own population tier.
Some of these pictures I borrowed from urbanplanet.org.
These are my own pictures that I took in mid-February on a Sunday in 30*F temperatures. This time of year, this area of downtown is bustling with pedestrian activity.
I want to go downtown again sometime soon and take some better pictures, but I am too lazy to do it. Little Rock is no match for the major cities of the US, but it is greatly underappreciated for what it does offer. I hope one day it can move beyond its perception problems. Thats the one thing holding this city back from booming.
