Tales from the South
Argenta Arts district earns its name legitimately
The Argenta Arts district is a beautifully renovated area in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The Argenta Neighborhood, is adjacent to the Arkansas River, and shares the view with Little Rock, AR connected across the river by several pedestrian, and biking bridges. Mayor Patrick Henry Hayes has kept a vision of a beautiful downtown area for North Little Rock. It has taken the cooperation of both Mayor Patrick Henry of North Little Rock, business owners, property owners, and the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, and Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola.
In 2007, big changes came in conjunction with the opening of the Big Dam Bridge, a 2 mile pedestrian bridge, joining Little Rock, and North Little Rock in pedestrian enjoyment. Next the Argenta Neighborhood was taken on as a project, for the success of the North Little Rock, Arkansas, downtown area.

Starving Artist, invites submissions from Southern writers, to read stories of real things that have happened to them in the South. It is storytelling at its finest. The Tales storytelling is a time of good food, moving entertainment, and a unique experience that you will not find anywhere else. Southerners get a lot of grief, we are the butt of many jokes, and we are full of steaming, humid colloquialisms, but Southerners can impart an unusual sense of logic mixed with humor and tragedy.
Frustration, humor, heat, poverty, plenty, fishing, families, marriage, religion, Southernisms, and religion. All of these ingredients stain a Southerner like the red clay most of us know well, and produce art that is fun to observe, and will remain in a part of your mind for years to come.
Faulkner, Porter, Grisham and Twain have affected American Literature, movies and songs since they sweated out their first works.
The story telling series is available on-line, and on YouTube video. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock radio station, airs the shows from the Starving Artist Cafe, and anyone is free to listen, They are archived.

Wes, Thanks for the read, and being the first to comment. I want to support our local arts (of course). ...still trying to get a "media" spot for the night that Morgan Freeman/John Grisham are there.
Hi Lilly. Good to see you again and what a nice hub!
Thank you WillStarr, this is in support of a place for artists, and our local tourism. This gave me motivation. :0) Thanks for the comment.
I would love to go there. When I start traveling again in a few years, this will be on my list.
Good to see this project is getting attention.
Hello Lilly, I would love to go there. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors. I don't think i've ever told you that i have a Son who lives in Walnut Ridge Ark. I've been to Little Rock many times. I would also love to see the Clinton Library. I sent him a birthday card and it's on display there. Thank you my Vegas friend.
Hyhenbird, when you come this way,let me know. Thank you for the comment.
Glowingrocks, thank you, it is an awesome project. Glad for the input
@Always exploring! I did not realize you come this way, and/or have a son here. Please contact me the next time you are heading this way, and we will take in the Starving Artist Cafe, with any other Artist types who want to join our open table night. We must all submit stories to be read, when we are going... what fun. earthenwarehaven@gmail.com
I will Lilly. Thank you for the invitation.
Charming hub, LillyGrillzit! I found this particularly meaningful against the backdrop of Congress's recent threat to cut off all funding for public broadcasting (both radio and television). I wish there were a nation-wide, interconnected, and therefore constantly interacting People's Arts and Journalism Network, or something like that, as a safety net to catch us if the government ever fully abandons us (in favor of capital) and does cut off all funding for the arts and public media.
Anyway, the Starving Artist Cafe sounds like a charming, eccentric, and fun place to hang out. Thanks.
Take it easy.
Hey Lori- sounds like a place i can relate to. Count me in if i ever roll thru your neck of the country this summer. I miss my life surrounded by artists and writers.
funny but i was just talking to elliot about finding an open mike night in key west for a poetry reading.
i have an idea- in my absence- you could recite a poem i wrote about divorce, cops, guys named Bubba, and going to college in Alabama. haha! :)
thanks for the info lady- you did this well. does the club know you are pushing them? a gal here picked up a job with one of the restaurants she wrote about in blogger. she does all their advertising now on the web- very cool break!
peace sister- greg
Wingedcentaur, thank you for the kudos. Your wish for an interconnected, People's Art and Journalism is happening. The Expatriates did not have the internet, but they managed an awesome network. Perhaps you, us, others can do this. Dreams sometimes come true. Thank you.
greg, you KNOW you better let me know if y'all come through this way. I think you should start it...open mike night. I think Starving Artist Cafe were told. The woman who asked me to write this is friends with them. Who knows? Thanks "G" for the read, and nice comments.
Sounds great - wish I could make it there!
Great hub about a place that sounds awesome.
@Tankadin, thank you! You never know what can happen, one day you may... :0)
@Bobbi, Thanks for the visit and comment. The best to you.
Loved the hub and admire your dedication!
David Warren, thank you very much.

I'd definitely hang out there if I could. It's a different skill to tell a story to an audience than it is to write one down to be read.
I wonder if I could learn to do it? I'd definitely want to observe a while first.
Now to watch some vids.
