Little Rock, Arkansas advice needed.

It looks like we'll be moving there in December or so and don't know where to start to look for a place to live. The office will be downtown near the river. The kids are a freshman and sophomore in high school.

We'd like to find a neighborhood with progressives and a good high school, is that a dream?

Thank you for any thoughts.

Are you a displaced Okie or just a fan of Will's?

3. Displaced Okie and

my grandfather was a personal friend of Will, (worked with him on the 101 Ranch when Will was a mustanger), and of Wiley Post.
Am currently making plans to move back to OKC first of year. Seems it will be a place where I already know people AND can afford to buy another home. Houses and cost of living in CA are just way too much.

5. Do you know about the schools?

That will be the deciding factor.
