“On a Hot Summer Night…..”

The weather is warming up, and folks are looking for something cool and wonderful to do on these hot summer nights.

Little Rock has plenty of cool venues to to satisfy the varying tastes of its guests and inhabitants.  The Arkansas Repertory Theater is presenting “The 39 Steps” until June 26.  This intriguing drama will keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end.

Murry’s has “Always Patsy Cline” until June 26, it is replaced by “Everybody Loves Opal”.  These two extremely different plays offer a truly interesting evening to their audiences.  One for musical lovers and the other an outrageously funny  approach to murder.

With its comedy clubs, dueling piano bars and night clubs; after hours in Little Rock  can take any form you are looking for.  If you enjoy the balmy southern evenings outside, many of our restaurants offer local flavor in food and entertainment.  Minutes away from all these,  we invite you to join us, here in Little Rock for a splendid summer night at Robinwood Bed and Breakfast

Must See for Arkansas Civil War Buffs…..

After 150 years and way too many movies, many of us have an unrealistic view of life in Arkansas in the Civil War era.  The Historic Arkansas Museum’s feature this month makes a great use of a classic movie, “Gone With the Wind” and visual material from that difficult time in our history to clear the air.

Movie costumes, photos, and outtakes,  allow visitors to enter the world of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler, with all it’s glamor and romance.  Real photos and artifacts draw the viewer to another world altogether.  One where life was anything but romantic, real people living very real lives.

Minutes away from Historic Arkansas Museum, we invite you to enjoy a glimpse of the reality of our local history.
