Little Rock is one of the most dangerous cities in the country but it also seems calm and peaceful. Its easy to stay out of trouble but some areas are ruined, washed up, and seem unsafe to be. There are cops around to keep an eye out but sometimes it can take time for a cop to show up to a scene. It makes a life threatening gesture but to see them roaming around the streets usually seems ironinc.

It's a pretty good, civilized, area . I haven't had any problems here at all and if i had a choice to live here again i would. I would compare this area to walking in a family reunion, it feels like a homely place. I would see the area for retirement.
