Little Rock, Arkansas

Last fall I was sent to a work conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. On the face of it, not a dream destination. Let's say I wasn't expecting this city to be more exciting than Baton Rouge. I had even read that, like here, it was one of the most dangerous city in the US, with ghettos all around the city, gangs problems, murders, rapes and so on happening everyday. In the end, I was rather pleasantly surprised. At least the Arkansas capital city gets to have a few highrise buildings worthy of a downtown, and even a pretty tramway and a pedestrian bridge that both go over the river! Damn, we still have a long way to go in our Louisiana capital...
