Main Street Mall
From FranaWiki
Main Street Mall (also called Main Street Market) was a failed enclosed multilevel shopping, office, and restaurant center opened under the direction of the commissioners of the Metrocentre Improvement District in 1987. The mall was established to revitalize retailing along Main Street in downtown Little Rock, and was created by renovating and connecting the upper levels of a block of buildings for $12 million. The Main Street Mall was shuttered in 1989 when the pedestrian-only Main Street reopened to traffic. The old mall is now occupied by state government agencies.
