North Little Rock - Second city no more.

Well, what do you know! North Little Rock now has state politicians and maybe a president living there. I’ve lived in the town since I was 5 years old, so believe me that we never had any before.

After 10 years, Mike Huckabee has left the governor’s office in the state Capitol and his beautiful Governor’s Mansion just off Broadway in Little Rock, and moved to an attractive, five-bedroom, three-car garage, $525,000 house at 1134 Silverwood Trail. If you haven’t seen this neighborhood called Shady Valley, you’ve missed something because it’s maybe the fanciest in the city. (You turn west off John F. Kennedy Boulevard a short distance from Sherwood, which shows the ignorance of North Little Rock politicians who failed to put that growing assemblage into a part of North Little Rock rather than letting it become a town in 1948 when it had only 714 residents.

''This story struck me, even though I nothing about North Little Rock or the Governor Mike Huckabee. The cost of this house is so cheep compared to the UK prices. A house like this in South Northamptonshire would cost $1,000,000. In Hampstead London NW3 it would cost $6,000,000. In the Republic of Ireland it would cost $6,000,000. Your cost of living in the United States seems so much lower than over here'' liam@liams.biz
