Main Street in Black and White, a traveling exhibit of historical photographs featuring three downtowns in their heyday. The exhibit features downtown Blytheville, Texarkana, and Batesville. Photographs date from the late 1880s to the 1940s and range from circus elephant parade scenes to World War II marches.
Join us for this celebration of Main Streets at a reception during 2nd Friday Art Night on October 9, 2009, beginning at 5 p.m. 401 Clinton Ave, Little Rock. I hope you can make it.
Also, if you haven’t seen the Michigan Main Street Center’s “Shop Main Street” video, definitely check it out
