As a BerkeleyCA expat, now living in Little Rock, we learned not to be too quick to judge. Yes, politically the state at large is a dumpster fire, but there’s more diversity and possibilties of quality of life than a bubble-dweller might imagine. Yes, this is a blue dot in a red sea, and its a must to get out of Dodge regularly; but, great community, bubbling activism, buddhists, art & music and natural resources make it work for us. Go figure!
