LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Another Arkansas city has been ranked among the best in the country.

According to Forbes.com, Little Rock is one of the 25 best place to retire in the United States.

The rankings took into consideration cost of living, taxes, weather, air quality, doctor availability, crime rates and active-lifestyle rankings for bicycling and volunteering. The website says it also considered the Milken Institute's latest ranking of "Best Cities for Successful Aging."

The website lists the pros of retiring in Little Rock as low cost of living, median home price $144,000, good weather, abundant doctors and high Milken Institute aging rank.

The article lists below-average air quality and crime as cons.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT NUT INVESTIGATES THIS STUFF. LITTLE ROCK IS A CESSPOOL OF CRIME FROM THE GHETTO TO THE HIGH DOLLAR NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE FAR WEST OF THE CITY. Put all the thugs in jail and maybe it would be a decent city in which to live. I have lived here all my life and watched as one neighborhood after the other went in the gutter....Cloverdale, Meadowclif, Hillcrest, Ellis Acres, just to mention a few.
