Is Little Rock a better place to live than Baton Rouge?

I've been ready to get out of Baton Rouge for a while now, and I've applied to jobs in many places. My first job offer is for a position in Little Rock...I was interviewed in LA, however, and I've only been to Little Rock for ~24 hours about a decade ago.
For those of y'all who live or have lived there, how is it? Is it a nicer place to live than BR, or is it just another BR/Jackson/Montgomery, etc?
I've heard it has a bright future, but a lot of people say things like that about a lot of places.
What are the major pros and cons of the area?

Probably. Scenery is better.

Not really. They be banging in Little Rock. It's gang infested.

I lol'd when I read the title.

Little Rock has the feel of a lateral move at best.

Little Rock is the next Jackson, MS

Downtown LR is a nice area. We've been there a couple times a year for the last 5 years. Don't know about the rest of the city, but seems like a decent place to live.
N.O.>>LR>>>>>>BR

Went there last year. Drinking laws are pretty shitty. Last call was at 12:30. City as a whole looked like a shite hole.

Little Rock is a clear choice over Baton Rouge.

My dad's family is in Little Rock and my mom is from Baton Rouge.
If I had the choice, LR>BR any day of the week. It's a much better overall experience.

Stay out of North LR. It's a lot like BR. I'd suggest you live in Bryant or Maumelle.

I'm out of Stuttgart about 50 miles south. My GF lives in West Little Rock, honestly, it's a pretty nice place. Especially west Little Rock. Also don't worry about not meeting any LSU fans, we congregate at a place called Boudreaux's 
Bar scene isn't that lively though

We went there for a long weekend back in August. It was nice. Pretty city. They've got a lot going on downtown. Of course, when Uncle Sam drops a big-arse presidential library there, that helps a lot. There were some nice neighborhoods with good restaurants. Traffic moved well, it wasn't crowded. Now one thing, we kind of ran out of touristy things to do after the Clinton Library, a couple of brewery tours and the Purse Museum (it was my wife's choice). But that's different if you live there.

West LR is a great place to live.

Live in Conway or Bryant, and I guess it would be. LR is just a less crowded BR. If it were BR's size it would have the same exact problems. But there are some really great communities outside town that are good to raise a family. If you've lived in South LA your whole life it will take adjusting.

I agree with the ones saying LR>BR. I say that as someone who misses Louisiana and all that makes it unique etc.
Of course like any city of any size there are definite no go areas. West Little Rock is the booming area and very nice but getting crowded. Benton/Bryant, Maumelle, and Cabot are where you go to raise the family with good public schools. Little further to Conway/Greenbrier which is nice.
We lived in Sherwood (just north of NLR) and when had kids moved little further north to Cabot. Great schools and close enough. Probably depends where you will have to drive to work.

Little Rock has a loop
I'd live in LR over Baton Rouge. It's prettier and more scenic. It's still the south so economy, poverty, and poor schools still run wild but I think it's a nicer place to live esp if you like outdoors (hiking, biking, running, fishing, etc)
