DirkDiggler Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I used Dixie back in 2009, the price wasn't bad and they were easy to work with. That said, the quality of the furniture was mid-low at best, worked for me as a single guy TDY for 6 months but may not be the best option if you have a wife and kids.

jcj Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I live in Overlook Park, which is up past the Heights (on the other side of Cammack Village) near the Big Dam Bridge. It's a great neighborhood and I love living here. The Heights and Hillcrest are nice as well, but garage/parking space is at a premium. There are a few really cool places closer to downtown LR, but (with a couple of specific exceptions in an area called Quapaw Quarter) stay north of I-630 and definitely west of I-30 downtown. WLR and Maumelle are nice and newer, but they're a pretty good trek to the base. In fact, anyplace where you have to cross the river adds to your travel time to the base, although it's not so bad from downtown LR, the heights or Hillcrest. The best night spots for me are the Heights & Hillcrest because they aren't touristy, the RiverMarket (downtown) is OK as well but is a little touristy and can get a little wild on weekends. I know alot less about the NLR/Sherwood?Jax side than I do about the LR side. Specific questions ask or PM me I've lived here since 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFSU Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Currently, I'm PCSing back to my home of record via DITY with a car in tow. Along the way, I'll be passing thru Little Rock. I have to be back in Little Rock at the beginning of January for C130 school. So, I want to drop off the car that I'm towing in Little Rock. Can anybody currently at the base, point me in the direction of long term parking on base? Or a parking lot that will not tow a car parked for over a month? Also, the car will be packed with house hold things, such as rugs, housewares, ect, would you feel save with your car parked for about a month on base with those things visible in the car? Thanks, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFM this Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Park it on the lemon lot for 20% over market value. Should still be there in 4-5 months... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Crap dude, beginning of January is only 2 weeks away first day back is the 5th for AETC. Just park it wherever. Shit, I'd park it in front of the security forces building for no longer than it'll be there… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disregard Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The Pax Terminal long term parking lot might work. Just display the proper paperwork on the dash and you should be fine for probably up to 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADFNZ Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I left my truck at the TLF for 3 weeks while I flew back home. It's next to the chapel, about a mile down the main road (forget the name). Edited December 14, 2014 by BADFNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockheedFix Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 You could literally park in one of about 7 parking lots along the flightline road and no one would ever look twice at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCO Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 You could literally park in one of about 7 parking lots along the flightline road and no one would ever look twice at it.I'm pretty sure I saw a truck with flat tires in one of those parking lots for a good 9 months.

I'm pretty sure I saw a truck with flat tires in one of those parking lots for a good 9 months. Thanks, guys. I ended up calling Outdoor Rec and paying $10 to park it in the RV/Trailer lot. However, I started by asking Razorback Inn, which I was told my car will be towed. I asked how she would know, she said, "They just would." It wasn't worth arguing. Who the hell is "they?" I was told to contact Security Forces (You can see where this is going). The Officer at Security Forces said my car would get towed and I need to call the First Shirts at the 714th to coordinate something. Then, the Officer told me he needed to go because I was clogging his emergency line. So, he hung up. He gave me two numbers for two different First Shirts, which no one answered. So, I just called Outdoor Rec. The gentleman was very helpful. It all worked out. I would have just left it in a parking but the base is unfamiliar to me and didn't want to start my short period there with getting a car out of the impound lot or settling a ticket. Lesson learned. Thanks again for all the help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HercDude Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 There's only one emergency phone line on base, and it's the number answered by an officer? Sounds like a brilliant gentleman you were dealing with there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 He's not wearing his Nav wings in his blues, obviously out of regs, don't see how he even made it to O-6 in AMC with his inherent disregard for uniform regs. /sarcasm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
