Wasn't the Boyle Building planned to be an Aloft years ago but it fell through? That would have been a nice addition to that part of town and really helped to bridge the gap between downtown Main Street and the Main Street across 630.

Two more Whataburger locations coming. Maumelle on the Boulevard by Walmart and Malvern. Whataburger is coming to Maumelle & Malvern | thv11.com

I took the Clearwater/St. Pete flight last year in October. I think the others have been seasonal. I was going to Clearwater again this October but not anymore I suppose.

Same here. I was just there a few weeks ago and it was crowded, though less so than the other restaurants on the block. Maybe the building is confident it can fill that spot easily or it even has another tenant interested.

Count Porkula set to open this Thursday (June 2nd). Looks like it was a complete renovation from previous restaurants in this space. Also, I may have missed it but I didn't see any mention of the new plans for the Wild River Country site. It looks similar to Top Golf but with more options. And of course soon after this was announced Top Golf finally said they were coming to LR as well. I wonder if they will now try and push this development out with their brand. LR cannot sustain two of these. $28 million entertainment venue to locate in North Little Rock - Talk Business & Politics

I have tried to go a few times over the months since it opened and the wait was always crazy long so we just left. Haven’t tried in awhile though so it may be better now.

Cypress Social by the guys behind Petit & Keet is set to open mid august. Also, word is Sobo is being redone by a group of successful LR restaurant veterans. Maybe it will actually work this time. I can’t recall the name I heard it was changing to though.

Gearhead was a remodel. They are back open. I went in yesterday.

Is this going to be Amazon's largest FC? From searching I can't find any that are larger and at 3M SF this may be one of the largest if not the largest.

Ernie Biggs is showing that it is Leased. Saw the sign in the window a few minutes ago. Wonder what it is.

Anybody know what if anything is going in at the old Andina location on 3rd? There is paper up on the windows and I saw some guys working going in and out the other day. Maybe they are just clearing it out but it looked like they were doing some renovation.

And United has direct to Denver. Took it on a trip to LA last week. A direct to LAX would be nice.

Anecdotal I know but I have been to the bar area many times in the last year. I haven't even thought about or been to the restaurant in 10+ years.

I just read it as nothing was confirmed so they couldn't say but it was in the future plans. Surely a senior UA rep wouldn't come to the airport talking about this stuff and not have some at least tentative plans for LR. But stranger things have happened. If it wasn't for a couple of specific cities I travel to frequently I would have already switched to AA. And may still yet anyway.

Thanks for sharing. I am exclusively an United business traveler due to their hubs, routes, and flight times compared to the other options. I had read they were moving to larger planes with more amenities in a national article some time ago but this is the first I have seen of it in relation to Clinton. I actually booked a flight yesterday and I changed my flight time to a less desirable one due to it being on an ERJ170 as opposed to an RJ145 just because of the first class option. But still no WiFi. I have actually been looking into switching over to AA due to this but may wait it out and see now. While I don't have a business need I would love a direct leisure option to NYC and I could use a direct occasionally to LAX. I know LR has had those routes before on the larger airlines but don't recall why they went away. I assume it came down to load and they just weren't filling the planes? Maybe it was just seasonal? But I would imagine even if it was seasonal that if the planes we full it would have meant they made the service more permanent.

Mine too. I go to South Louisiana alot and always go.

The Chili's is open and the signage is up across from it and work appears to be underway on the Chick-fil-A and Burger King. It was packed when I was there Monday. I have been flying more than usual lately and the airport is generally full and almost all of the flights into and out of LR are at or near capacity. I would love it if we could get a NYC direct back.

I didn't know that about the proposed direct service to MSY way back. Maybe when the new airport opens there early next year (I think) someone will pick it up. I am down there often and hate having to connect. I wonder how full the Glo flights were before it went under.

Yes! But where would this start? The "powers that be" in the surrounding areas will not want it to happen. Consolidation only lessens or removes their power. I host people from other cities in the region occasionally and most are surprised when I tell them that across the river isn't actually the same city.

Where is the Holiday Inn going?

The Barn Mercantile to Open in River Market http://www.littlerocksoiree.com/post/117155/the-barn-mercantile-to-open-in-river-market

The Ten Thousand Villages shop in the River Market has a Leased sign and paper up over the windows. Anybody know what's going in there?

A coffee shop called Nexus Coffee and Creative is opening in the vacant space next to Ten Thousand Villages. Saw the sign in the window up for the first time today.

I think Entergy is the largest occupant even now but have heard the same thing about using their name on the building. Entergy Arkansas played a huge role in the initial construction though. Would be fitting. Probably will be another bank.

Foot locker is relocating opening up another spot in the H&M proposed area. Right now they are right next to the now closing Lane Bryant and under Hollister. Foot Locker is moving to the old bath and body works location.
