Little Rock catches up to NWA public art with mural on Main

If you've been to Bentonville, you've probably seen Jason Jones' mural of a big blue octopus with bicyclists riding one of tentacle and tentacle another waving Sam Walton's truck around. Or, in Fayetteville, Jones' "Fresh Air" on Center Street. The murals that have transformed the historic downtowns in Northwest Arkansas have made us Little Rock lovers of outsized-urban-mural lovers green with envy.

Ambassadors coming to downtown

The Downtown Little Rock Partnership plans to employ two people to be Downtown Ambassadors to monitor street cleanliness and safety and offer help to visitors. The ambassadors, who will work in the blocks that are part of the Metrocentre Improvement District, will wear uniforms and will report to DLRP on various repair needs, graffiti and other such things to keep things looking shipshape. Many larger cities have put ambassador programs in place.

Downtown Little Rock Partnership calls for moratorium on I-30 planning

Gabe Holmstrom, director of the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, a major player in reviving downtown, has written Department Director Scott Bennett asking for a moratorium of the planning process for the project. It proposes to widen the freeway through Little Rock to 10 lanes at a cost of at least $500 million and billions more in new maintenance and collateral damage.  And, many believe, it won't solve congestion or all the existing access problem, while creating new ones.

Take the downtown Little Rock tour — free. And don't miss the food trucks.

City promoters are planning free downtown  tours twice daily on Saturdays in October, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
