    The old Nashville Rockin' Grill / Gigi's / Whatever else it was restaurant (next to Morningside Bagels) near the Counts Massie intersection of Maumelle Blvd has a banner hanging on it announcing a new location for Count Porkula. Poking around their FB page and the comments indicates it should be open after the first of the year.

    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.

  2. 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.

    So now, Arkansas Business is reporting that Amazon is building a 3 million SF Fulfillment Center at the Little Rock port.  Wow...that's a big deal, and makes sense paired with the earlier report of an new warehouse in SW Little Rock.  Good news in the midst of otherwise uncertain times.

    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.

    SWA has direct Las Vegas and Phoenix.

     

    But I TOTALLY agree about SLC. I can’t for the life of me figure out why they don’t add that route, given the sheer amount of traffic they handle at LIT solely through ATL.

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

    I read the article and was left confused...it talks about United's intention to increase marketshare, but the United rep goes on to be non-committal on either additional routes OR larger aircraft (which all of their competitors offer in LIT).  Soooo....going to increase marketshare by crossing your fingers?  Good luck with that.  Nobody wants to fly in your minivans.

    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. 

  6. 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. 

  7. 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.

    No, but I found it ironic (or coincidental, or neither?) that I didn't know that Ten Thousand Villages was a chain store until they announced they were closing...which I found a bit surprising at that location.
