Big news and big numbers for President Clinton Avenue

I'm trying to get back into the routine of writing about Little Rock for the fine folks at The Examiner.

Sunday Drinking

We've been able to get a beer or a glass of wine in a restaurant, on Sundays, here in Arkansas for quite a while. Now, we're inching closer to being able to pick up a bottle of wine or liquor at our corner liquor store on Sunday. Is this progress?

Bucking the National Trends
