From Wikipedia:
Little Rock is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. The city's population was 204,405 in 2022, according to the United States Census Bureau. As the county seat of Pulaski County, the city was incorporated on November 7, 1831, on the south bank of the Arkansas River close to the state's geographic center in Central Arkansas. The city derived its name from a rock formation along the river, named the "Little Rock" by the French explorer Jean-Baptiste Bénard de la Harpe in 1722. The capital of the Arkansas Territory was moved to Little Rock from Arkansas Post in 1821. The six-county Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is ranked 81st in terms of population in the United States with 748,031 residents according to the 2020 estimate by the United States Census Bureau.
Little Rock is a cultural, economic, government, and transportation center within Arkansas and the American South. Several cultural institutions are in Little Rock, such as the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, and the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, in addition to hiking, boating, and other outdoor recreational opportunities. Little Rock's history is available through history museums, historic districts or neighborhoods of Little Rock like the Quapaw Quarter, and historic sites such as Little Rock Central High School and West Ninth Street. The city is the headquarters of Dillard's, Windstream Communications, Stephens Inc., University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Heifer International, Winrock International, the Clinton Foundation, and the Rose Law Firm.

Nice tour of Little Rock AR

[@laswanlewwis]

I've been living a little rock in 24 half years ago when I was a kid.

[@dftns19]

I don't know what I expected but it was definitely nicer and more active than I imagined. Only been to Arkansas through the eastern edge of the state through flat farm land, need to go back to see Arkansas' natural beauty and apparently Little Rock too.

[@rackss1661]

Hit up the Northwest part of the state it’s nicknamed NWA(Northwest Arkansas). Fayetteville, Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, are all growing making it one of the most fastest regions in the country. Lots of Midwesterners and Californians moving in it’s estimated that area is supposed to gain about a million people in the next decade, on top of that they are looking to build new highways there. Northeast Arkansas is growing as well around the Jonesboro area but at a slower pace, this state has tons of natural beauty definitely an underrated state for sure.

[@Badomen_5150]

Check out North West Arkansas. So many things to do and places to see it feels nothing like the rest of Arkansas.

[@nm4523]

Visit Hot Springs you will 💕 love it....

[@ramencurry6672]

It’s not really that active overall. Traffic can be congested during rush hour but the actual action of the walkable parts of the city is on the dead side like most Midwest and southern cities.

[@madqtofficial3451]

​@@ramencurry6672 downtown little rock is extremely active on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 24/7 and is busy all summer

[@АлександрЕгоров-ь3ь]

I miss L. R, remember everythings,, and roads

[@rita7043]

Pretty, nice clean town. I remember W. Markham from when I was a teen.

[@adib6992]

LR is a Underrated City ❤️

[@thefiremustnevergoout445]

Would love to see the river and the parks. It's a great video, though. Blessings!

[@merhafmerhaf4665]

As an Algerian 🇩🇿 Arkansas is a calm state

[@MasonWright1234]

I been to Magnolia AR but I want to visit Little Rock sometime

[@ramencurry6672]

Little Rock is a masterpiece

[@timreardon4973]

I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn downtown a couple times.

[@SangMarocain]

Nice greeting from Morocco

[@merhafmerhaf4665]

Are you going there bro ?

[@MrColdsweat]

I'm from Little Rock even though I moved away but visit sometimes. Little Rock is beautiful especially in the Spring and Summer. Things tend to light up.

[@nm4523]

Still L'Ya ARKANSAS......see ya SOON......................

[@AppleAllen]

Seems like you cant get anywhere, theres a red light every couple seconds

[@JUSAGUYNKY]

I’ve always really liked LR’s skyline.. especially for the size of the city 🏙️ Same with Des Moines

[@timreardon4973]

Both Des Moines and LR are named after French explorers. The Little Rock historical spot on the river tells it all.

[@MaribethEdwards]

Has it changed, really changed. I grew up in LR and it is not the LR that I knew.

[@KoreanPaperTowel]

You didnt do the riverwalk

[@discoveringarkansas]

Hi there, what camera did you use and what is your set up?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

iPhone.

[@billyplunkett8036]

Yeah you go interstate 440 and the airport will be on your right

[@MaribethEdwards]

Now you are getting in my part of town. No, it isn't, not then.

[@TheBlackWrapperDude]

The most dangerous city in the US next to pine bluff

[@paleo704]

I wonder why

[@TheBlackWrapperDude]

@@paleo704 world according to Briggs made a Video about it he has the full details on it

[@Challenger_Dark]

I disagree. I live in Little Rock currently and yeah there’s a shooting/homicide 3-4 times a week. But it’s all within a certain area that eveyone knows not to go to. I have also stayed in Memphis for many months for work and Memphis is where I was scared for my life even when visiting the nicer parts. I think Memphis is the most dangerous pine bluff is up there too. So is Little Rock Im not denying that but no way it’s above Memphis

[@ramencurry6672]

You should be fine. You’ll most likely die of boredom in Arkansas

[@AppleAllen]

​@@ramencurry6672: or of starvation sitting in traffic

[@marcusmajors-w3w]

I stay in Arkansas it's slow out hear not much to do hear we have no beach for the summer it's a Boring slow state

[@Routetherapy10]

Or you are just a boring person, it's always something to anywhere you go

[@s8a2b]

No ppl and nothing there 😮

[@frank-qf9pm]

Thank you so much for these videos. I didn't know LR had streetcars. 🚊 It also looks like they are expanding.

[@rackss1661]

Little Rock always had streetcars since streetcars were first made. Tons of history in that city.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Yeah the downtown area is pretty impressive for its size.

[@AppleAllen]

Unfortunately

[@AppleAllen]

​@@rackss1661LoL, no. December 25th, 1947 was the last time the original street car ran on the tracks of Little Rock. But then 57 years later, the historic streetcars made a comeback.
