what are the worst no-sidewalk areas in the city?

Cantrell, Kanis, Chenal... what are some of the worst offenders in the city?

I've been walking my dog a lot recently. 3-4 miles a day. I feel hemmed in in which parts of the city I can walk freely in. Even in Hillcrest there are places like Lee that are missing sidewalks, then I realized as I was driving around that Cantrell and many other major roads with shopping areas just don't have anything for pedestrians.

Pulaski County received $76 million in federal COVID-19 relief, can’t account for all of it

This ladies and gentlemen is why I would take tax cuts over letting the state and/or counties spend any surplus.

Baptist Church Recommendations Wanted

I’ve been out of church for a while. I was going to New Life, but they are too conservative for me. I grew up Baptist but am unsure where to start (I did not grow up here). I want to experience a welcoming (to ALL), family friendly, Jesus centered environment. I’m raising two boys and it’s important to me that they don’t fall into the trap that many do where they become hateful bigots in the name of Christ.

Recap of Firework Feins Downtown on July 4.

If you attended the Pops on the River/Park event at the First Security Amphitheater last night, I am looking for anyone who might have seen what happened to families others, or who experienced the same thing.

​The security checkpoints were incredibly frustrating to begin with: we weren’t allowed to bring in water bottles, yet plenty of people were able to sneak vapes through. During the event, people were randomly setting off explosives just outside the perimeter, which caused rushing and overcrowding in certain areas.

​But the real issue happened after the show ended. They had blocked off Clinton Ave for entertainment, but it seems they completely forgot to patrol the parking decks. Unknown individuals were throwing fireworks down from the deck onto the crowds below. The fireworks landed right near my family, and my loved ones and I were burned twice.

​To make a horrific situation worse, there was a group of LRPD officers nearby who did absolutely nothing to help. While people were screaming and running to get away from the explosions, these officers literally stood there talking amongst themselves. Not a single officer asked questions, jumped into action, or offered any assistance when I suffered burns to my legs.

​We eventually had to split up just to run safely back to our car. I’ve lived in Arkansas all my life and have spent plenty of time downtown past midnight. Last night was the first time I have been exposed to LRPD’s complete inability to be actionable.

​I am putting together a formal complaint to the department as soon as possible.

If you were there, saw this happen, or experienced something similar, please comment or send me a DM. Any corroborating accounts will help. Thank you.

Fireworks Thrown in Crowd At Rivermarket

Was anyone one else walking last night around 10-10:15 in front of the River Market when someone was throwing fireworks into the crowd of people? One exploded right next to my wife and I as we were walking and we got hit. No injuries thankfully.

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota-restaurant-ratings/id6744969212

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Growler Fills

I have been a craft beer lover for about 20 years, and have collected quite a few growlers. Some for display, some for filling.
Before taking to fill, I always make sure they are "beer clean".
The majority of places I go to have no problem filling up my growler with another logo. However, Moody Brews will not do this and they say it's against regulation.
Ok, I'll buy a Moody Brews growler.
But I don't understand why I should have to? Can someone explain this to me?

Honest Mechanic

Does anyone know of a trustworthy mechanic shop in Little Rock? My car needs some work and I refuse to go back to the dealership after poor customer service and catching them in a lie about breaks I didn't need.

Nail biter friendly nail salons

It’s been a while since I’ve been to one but glue on nails are not working out for me like I’ve hoped. I want to get acrylics or gels(whichever is better for chronic nail biters), but I’m not familiar with a lot of places in the city. Going to a salon after years is nerve wracking since I’m extremely self conscious of my nails but I want to take a chance at getting them done professionally. Any good salons out there?

What is the dating scene like in the Little Rock area?

I’m planning on moving to the area soon, and am wondering what the dating scene is like for a 27 year old male. Whether meeting in person or on dating apps.

Moving to North Little Rock and need to find a new donut shop that ain’t Shipley’s or Dunkin’. Any recs?

Self-explanatory title. I like to get donuts every now and then, especially on Saturdays. Dunkin and Shipley’s are…fine, but I much prefer small business donut shops. I welcome any suggestions for the area.

Has anyone had a similar issue with the water company? There is absolutely no reason for these June spikes at all that I am aware of.
