Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

What is the value of designating Pulaski Academy as poor "quality", at least without any other supporting arguements?

[edit] Climate

I'd love it if this article had a climate section. I heard Arkansas might be an ideal place to live in an energy crisis --James Howard Kunstler

I added a few charts for various meteorological data in the area, in addition to some history and other miscellaneous background to the article. It's my first edit, so please let me know how I did, any feedback would be great. --Gundam785

[edit] Meanest City

I think it's of note to mention that Little Rock is ranked number three in the nation for cruelty toward the homeless / http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10823343/

(other cities like Dallas have added it to their wiki's, merely a suggestion)

It also seems odd to not mention the former gang problems and perhaps even HBO's Bangin' in Little Rock

[edit] City Logo

I was thinking of uploading the "LR" logo (as seen on the newer street signs, among other places), but before I did, I was wondering if anyone knows if that would be a (potential) copyright violation? (For an example of the logo I'm talking about, look at http://www.littlerock.org/ -- the green and white "LR" logo at the very top-left of the page). -- xlrar 22:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tallest Buildings

Hi everyone, hailing from Brisbane Austalia. The tallest building section on this article adds no value and should be removed. Lists of anything like this reduce the quality of the article. But the reason I am here is an anon IP user who is based in and regularly edits Little Rock has been creating quite a problem. I hope he/she reads this, and halts their vandalism of Brisbane by re-adding the Tallest Building section. They are also removing other editors changes. We have reverted his change 5+ times so far, but have not managed to get the message through that the list is not a good thing. Rimmeraj 21:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does Little Rock have sidewalks?

Does Little Rock have sidewalks? Could someone answer me this?

Little Rock could use more sidewalks, Most major streets and in the downtown area have decent sidewalks. Many of the neighborhood streets, especially West of University Ave. only have curbing and the only options is to walk on the grass or in the road! Strangely, almost all the city streets do have curbs, unlike many larger cities in the United States. -Former resident
