There wasn’t much open in Little Rock on Christmas Eve. There were a handful of tourists wandering about looking for things to do, but the trolley must not have looked inviting because I had it to myself except for one brief period when a man and four young boys hopped on to cross the river. I took the entire loop around Little Rock and North Little Rock. The conductor pointed out the sights and asked me a few questions about where I was from and why I was in Little Rock, but he never asked about the chair.
Crossing the Arkansas River on the Main Street Bridge. The USS Razorback, a WWII-era submarine that is now a museum, can be seen through the window.
I first saw this building when the conductor on the trolley pointed it out. He explained that it was the oldest continuously-operating pharmacy west of the Mississippi. Perhaps that isn’t a monumental claim to fame, but I thought it interesting. I checked to make sure it was open as we went by.
I should have gotten off the trolley right then, because by the time I got back to my car and returned, it was closed. The sign on the window said it was open until 1:00 on Christmas Eve and it was now 1:35. I took some photos anyway.
