I'm impartial when it comes to the state. But Nwa is a great place to live. If I had family closer, and the music scene wasn't so weak, I'd settle down here. It's cheap, has a strong economy, and is beautiful. I plan on vacationing here later on, and paddling the Buffalo again.
I've only driven through Little Rock. But I haven't heard many good things about it. Pretty much everyone on my project was there before Nwa, and hated it. And this ranges from well educated to laborers, and multiple races.
But everyone likes different things. To say what you like is better, is bullshite. It's just your opinion. So y'all really should get over this dick measuring contest. Because there isn't a correct answer.

I wholeheartedly concur with this assessment: We really need the women to jump in here and opine on the subject.

the music scene wasn't so weak
God, there was a time when the music scene here was so much fun. George's and Chester's were both booking in regular shows of jambands, jamgrass, improv jazz and bluegrass. They happy hour scene was awesome on Friday's where each charged a dollar at the door. George's was from 5-6, then Chester's from 6-7. You'd see Medicine Show down at George's then book over to the Library to see someone like Merle Saunders, Jacob Fred Jazz Oddyssey or Steve Kimock. For a buck each. Then they'd both be playing later that night. Plus bands loved coming to Fayetteville and lots of them came repeatedly and became friends with the locals. I partied with Leftover Salmon multiple times late night.
Dave's on Dickson was a larger venue that existed for a bit that booked a wide variety of acts. Then you had JR's, with Chris King booking great shite (White Stripes played there among lots of other alt/college/indie bands). And Clunk booking Clunk music hall (Modest Mouse played there).
Then the music scene just went to shite as the next generation decided they just wanted to spend money on cocktail bars and the whole jamband scene started to age, and we lost one music venue after another due to non-attendance.
I can't bitch, though, because I rarely get out to see music these days.
