The Medical Arts Building ( aka The Arkansas Empire State Building aka The Superman Building ) has been purchased and is being renovated into a Marriott and the Dugan Stewart was SUPPOSED to be purchased by the guys that renovated the Thompson Building ( The Waters Hotel ) which is now owned by Hilton

Where are the people that is the real problem with the city. Downtown is dead after 8pm. How can bars, restaurants stay open without any $$ coming in ? History is one thing reality is another. Went to Arlington three weeks ago and the bartender couldn’t even serve two groups. I am renovating a building downtown and good people are hard to find.

Hi Charles, We couldn’t agree more and why we try our best to highlight tourism and historic places to our audiences that are intrigued by this stuff. What building are you renovating out of curiosity? I’d love to discuss with you about it.
