Downtown Conway is characterized by restaurants and nightclubs. A sign at the intersection of Oak Street and Front Street calls the district Toad Suck Square. The origins of the name “Toad Suck”, which is also the name of a nearby reservoir and dam, seemingly is a mystery.

Bright, brilliant tigers continue to turn up all around Memphis. I assume that tigers were chosen because it is the mascot of the University of Memphis, but what a cool way to symbolize Memphis as a city. This particular tiger sits behind the new University of Memphis Law School on the bluff between Front Street and Riverside Drive.

The River Market District, Little Rock, March 6, 2012

Downtown Little Rock has undergone a major transformation in the last ten years, with a bustling entertainment district along President Clinton Avenue known as the River Market District, as well as new hotels and condominiums.

Even on a Tuesday night, there was a significant number of people in the district.
