Little Rock Life
Little Rock is the state capitol for Arkansas, known as the Natural State. The Little Rock metro area is actually made up of two separate cities, Little Rock and North Little Rock, with a combined population of over 243,000. If one includes the surrounding Little Rock communities and the nearby cities of Hot Springs and Pine Bluff, the population expands to greater than 890,000. The surrounding area is served by the Little Rock National Airport (Adams Field). The city of Memphis, TN is only 2 hrs east on Interstate 40.
Little Rock is the home to business, education and various historical sites. The Little Rock Air Force Base (located just north of North Little Rock) is the only C-130 training base for the department of defense. Large public corporations and smaller family owned businesses make for a diverse business community. Additional educational opportunities are available at UALR (University of Arkansas at Little Rock) as well as other colleges in the area. The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park anchors a rejuvenated downtown Little Rock.
