Kurrus probably should
I like all three, but don't live there so my opinion doesn't matter.
Hope they all stay involved locally as they all seem to be good folks with good ideas.

I'd be fine with all three. Someone has to get more than 40% to avoid a run-off, so I'd be surprised if we don't have to vote again.

Kurrus should win. The LRSD was a shitshow before he took over. I think he would do really well.

Probably Kurrus. LR still has its share of liberal Democrats living there—basically it, PB and the Delta are the remaining blue zones. We just have to keep the cancer from spreading.
For all these purposes on this point and this point alone undoubtedly NWA>>LR.

Theres 2 Socialists and Baker.
I've known Baker for over 30 years, dude is A+
All of the green hair hipsters in the Heights and Hillcrest are all going Sabin.
Scott may get 10%
The rest will be Baker's
I do predict a r-u-n-o-f-t

If there's one thing hipsters love, it's building the biggest home on the smallest piece of property.
If there's two things hipsters love, it's the first thing and then parking the biggest car in the smallest parallel parking spot.
Three things? Building a bank in any available lot.

I've never understood the reasoning behind that. If I'm going to plow that much money into building a home I don't want my neighbors to be close enough they can reach out their window and touch my house.

You mean green haired trust fund kids?

Yes it’s pretty good. I liked Browning’s really well before it closed down at that location. I still think Doe’s tamales are the bomb.

The only hope for the future of Little Rock is for a black conservative to come in and take over and jerk a knot in their arse

Little Rock would be doing much better if people from outside of it kept their nose out of trying to "fix" it.

Damn, he got more support than I thought he would.
Sabin was soundly rejected

At least the mayor's runoff is between the best two candidates. Baker (a long time friend...so I'm biased) should win and he's pretty good at reaching out across the obvious divides in LR...but nobody is going to crack the neighborhood POA system in east LR anytime soon. They just keep voting for the likes of Erma Hendrix...88 years old...totally uniformed and doesn't really care...just complains about how bad things are and offers zero ideas on what to do about it.

Can't tell if this is serious.
LR has done so well on its own
