Cave's On Main

There has been a lot of change on Main Street in Little Rock over the years. It used to be the premier shopping destination in the state, but the rise of suburban malls and the slow death of downtown soon left Main an empty strip of abandoned buildings. Thankfully things have changed for the better, with new restaurants and the Technology Park setting up shop along Main.

One little detail along Main Street that has been witness to the slow demise and regrowth of Main Street is an old clock, which has sat at the intersection of Main and Capitol for decades. The clock was installed by Cave's Jewelry Store, which opened in the 1930s. The clock was refurbished by the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, and it operates yet again. At night, the neon lights shine just like it did in the olden days (it was a few minutes slow when this was taken one night just before sunset).
