01 Jun 2025 Little Rocky Mountain high
I am excited to bring you this incredible issue! Our June theme is “Men of the Moment,” and our team has assembled an informative magazine featuring messages from city halls around the 501.

It begins with our cover shot, which gives a nod to “Yellowstone,” a popular TV series that explores the challenges of running a massive ranch. Instead, we feature six mayors from the region’s largest cities, and you’ll find several more mayors inside these pages. What an honor to have six men with demanding schedules meet us at 8 a.m. on a Monday morning for a photo shoot.
Behind these men, you’ll recognize Pinnacle Mountain, a centerpiece of natural beauty and awe-inspiring views that rises 1,011 feet above Lake Maumelle. The climb to the top of Pinnacle is steep. There are two trails; the West Summit Trail is promoted as easier, and the East Summit Trail can be treacherous. Even the easier trail has areas where you are climbing rocks to ascend. There is no smooth path to the top of this crown jewel of Little Rock.
Pinnacle Mountain proudly rises behind the mayors to represent the hard work being done by civic, business and spiritual leaders around Central Arkansas every day. There is no smooth path to success, but communities throughout this region are standing out as some of the best places to live, work and play in the country because of intentionality on the part of leaders and citizens.
Each mayor shared a message about the city he loves and serves. You’ll learn a lot about our region, and about all of the efforts being made to improve our quality of life by these 501 Men of the Moment.
We are the Good News Publication of Central Arkansas — it’s our mission statement, and it’s written on our cover. Enjoy this issue packed with inspiring messages from mayors, as well as captivating articles about men who are courageously trying to make the most of their moments.
Happy Father’s Day from the staff at 501 LIFE!
