"Looking North is Looking Good"

North Little Rock's tag line "Looking North is Looking Good" is more than just a catchy phrase -- it also captures the commitment to making this city an interesting and entertaining place to live and visit.  North Little Rock is a first-class urban playground for people of all ages.  The city's dedication to promoting tourism is shown through the development of several new attractions including the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, Windsong Performing Arts Center, and the Dickey-Stephens Park which opened on April 12, 2007 for the first game in the new home of the Arkansas Travelers ball team.  The opening of the new ball park and these other new attractions are just the tip of the iceberg of the many great things happenings in North Little Rock.  We are proud of our vibrant, growing city!
