Snapshot - Democrat Printing and Litho. Co.

No time for Google Map - maybe later

This 100-year-old downtown building presently hosts upstairs lofts, a few random shops and Arkansas Business Publishing Group (my place of work). Oddly, Democrat Printing & Litho. Co. still prints my company's material, but it's in another location now. Strange how that worked out.

I'm not too sure what the "Central Supply Company" is or was, but it certainly no longer resides in this early 20th century building. Some of its floors are home to the Arkansas Times - I know that much.

Lost Empire: Rock Island Railroad

In the glory days of railroading, multiple passenger lines crisscrossed through cities. The Rock Island Railroad wound its way from Rock Island, Illinois, down south through Arkansas. Here in Little Rock, Rock Island built a huge span over the Arkansas River.

But in time all empires must crumble.

Snapshot: Title, high rise, Little Rock

Google Map

Ornate "B-B" title on a high-rise in downtown Little Rock. Likely refers to original builders. This building has lofts upstairs, and I believe the bottom floors are currently vacant.
