Traveler advice
Customs and culture
We like to talk to strangers
The vast majority of people here are very friendly and start a quick but short conversation while waiting in line. We mean no harm. It's just our way of spreading joy and a smile.
So don't be afraid to say hi!
Getting around
Traffic isn't too bad
I know we don't have nearly the traffic as bigger cities, but the times to avoid driving in the Greater Little Rock area are
M-F: 7:30 - 8:30 am and
M-F: 4:30 - 6:00 pm
The rest of the times are usually pretty easy to get anywhere without being in traffic.
Customs and culture
We eat our BBQ sandwiches with slaw
...yes, you can get it without it, but why would you want to??
