[Maumelle]

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.

Jess's Chicken looks near complete. This is in the old Black Angus building and owned by the Bubbus family of David's Burgers.

Also, looks like some work is being done to the old Whole Foods location in the Village shopping center. Anyone have any clues?
