The focus of this post is the pink store. On the left a recently restored building houses the modern offices of an Architectural design firm. This is the middle of the 400 block of Main Street in Argenta, Arkansas. From what I have read on our neighborhood blog, which is linked to this blog, this space is to become a cafe. The last post features construction of the City Grove Town Homes model unit just beginning across the alley behind this block. The yellow mark on the sidewalk on this side of the street is a trolley stop. I took this picture standing in a parking lot which will become a farmers market for locally grown produce. (More on the farmers market project at a later date.)
When I learn of any development concerning this property I will report the story here. This is an adventure in restoration. You can bet there are many people focusing their thoughts on creating new life in this space. There are people with differing ideas; with dreams of establishing an enterprise here which will serve crowds of people a useful benefit. One idea will win out. I wish them every success!
Several spaces on Main between 3rd and 7th are available for restoration development. Many old stores on Main have been restored to new purpose.
