Oxford American Offices Open in South Main Neighborhood

Soon to be event location for Oxford American. Little Rock South Main District.

The Oxford American magazine recently purchased Juanita’s old space in downtown Little Rock, and this past Saturday they hosted an open house for the new location.

The majority of the magazine staff will continue to operate out of their offices at UCA in Conway and this location will serve as both a home base for the business office and an event location. Someday soon this front space (pictured above) will be used for Oxford American sponsored events and shows ranging from live music to art openings.  With its location just up the street from Community Bakery, the Root Cafe, Bernice Garden,  Boulevard Bread, and other South Main locations, it all sounds very promising.

We got there late in the day after most folks were already  gone, but this photo gives you a good example of the location’s potential.  If you’ve spent time in Little Rock you’ve probably seen many shows in this venue over the years, so it’s exciting the building will still be used for live music. Some of my favorite shows there were Southern Culture on the Skids and Victoria Williams.  What about you?

13th Annual Music Issue.

If you haven’t picked up a copy already, the annual Music Issue is out and this year features music from all over the state of Mississippi.  Check it out there.
