If you haven't been down to the corner of 4th & Maple Streets recently, you need to go.  The flower beds on the corner planted and maintained by the Master Gardners are looking great.  They really add a lot of color to the corner.

Make sure you stop by the Farmers Market tomorrow morning at the corner of 6th & Main Streets. We are hitting the high season with lots of items being offered by local farmers. Expect tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, greens, onoins, new potatoes,, beans, peas etc. But you better get there early.The berries were pretty well sold out before 9:00 last Saturday. Last week there were over 20 vendors at the Farmers Market and more expected this week.

And don't forget to check out the Arts & Craft Market next door. There are a lot of local artists and crafters with some great art and crafts for sale.

Sometimes all you have to do to increase business activity is identify and coordinate what is already going on around you. I'll bet you didn't know that all five North Little Rock bus routes pass through Argenta and that the second busiest bus route on either side of the River is the Pulaski Tech bus route. I sure didn't.
