Arkansas Culture and Characters / Little Rock restaurants Browning's: Life after death?

Posted by Max Brantley on Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 6:58 AM

BROWNING'S INTERIOR

Reports of the death of Browning's, the Tex-Mex institution in the Heights, were not premature, but the death may not be permanent. We've been tracking for several days reports of a purchase of the closed restaurant by an investor. In one account, the new restaurant would be an upscale Mexican eatery, like Mi Cocina in Highland Park in Dallas. So far, parties haven't been prepared to talk.

But that rumored investor, Steve Davis, is listed on a Facebook page promising a renewal. Quote:

Browning's Mexican Grill is a Little Rock Institution (est. 1946). Currently, we are undergoing renovations and exciting additions to augment the rich history of this Heights landmark. Estimated opening in late Oct. News on our progress will be available soon!

Re: A case for the new Public Corruption Task Force?

Worst local story today so far is from Fox 16: A North Little Rock woman has died after her fiancee poured gasoline on her and set her on fire.

Debbie Rogers, chief deputy state treasurer, said Treasurer Martha Shoffner will not be at work today, but otherwise it was "business as usual" at the treasurer's office.

I hinted earlier that evidence was mounting that the securities salesman who provided confidential information to the FBI was Steele Stephens, the broker who began enjoying a huge share of Treasurer Martha Shoffner's bond business in 2010.

Officers with North Little Rock police responded to a call about a shooting at Verizon Arena this morning around 11 a.m. and found two people shot.

At the announcement yesterday of the charge against Martha Shoffner, U.S. attorneys announced a public corruption task force for the state.

For the vegetarian banh mi sandwich.

Our news partner Channel 4 has a news story that deserves repetition in full. More national headlines for the small people of Arkansas should follow directly.

Perhaps U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin might want to reconsider his earlier decision not to include Republican Rep. Loy Mauch on the list of Republican candidates he'd asked not to use his campaign contributions, having read some of what they'd written.
