Come on down to Little Rock. At the intersection of Brown and Roosevelt, you might be able to cage some donuts from the cop station across the street, but there are no grocery stores, the Walmarts are all on the west side of town and there isn't a Costco in the entire state. The dollar stores nearby might have something though.
I ride the buses alot, and in Little Rock, people talk on the buses so you get to know them. There are a few slackers, but most are hard-working, church-going folks who may have 2-3 jobs trying to keep a roof over their head. What they don't have is an education and the big picture that you do.
