Amen stoney! At least they got rid of the picture with the two towers on it! This ain't London Buddy. A bridge should be functional and safe; not "pretty". And I'm with ya'll; a "pretty" bridge isn't going to draw tourists.

itsjustme...I agree. We need to be able to brag that Little Rock is the safest town to come to, without much to do or see. River Market district is full of muggers, as is every street in town. I remember taking visitors down to the Art Center to see our fountain...hahaha....now we have the HillBilly Airport, River Market, BIG DAM BRIDGE, and our trailer on wheels Prez Library...we need something to draw tourists...LIKE SAFETY.

It doesnt matter how pretty the bridge is, it wont bring tourism here. People will only come here if they can feel safe and feel like they can go out during the day or night without getting mugged or shot or stabbed. Plus, you have to have more than a damn bridge to entice people to come here. Our zoo is a joke, there are no amusement parks or other grand attractions here. Spend the $20M on something worthwhile.
