So Much SoMa! Taste, shop, and experience South Main Street. Community Garden The Bernice Garden on South Main Street in downtown Little Rock grows a lot more than just plants. True, there are wildflowers and herbs galore. Cosmos, zinnias, rosemary, and lavender. But the garden also fosters community spirit. Folks gather on benches or underneath a wooden canopy for picnics. Or they peruse interesting sculptures by local artists. And everything is sustainable, down to the recycled glass pebbles used as mulch. thebernicegarden.org Corn-ucopia Break out the butter and the cast-iron skillets! The Arkansas Cornbread Festival draws thousands of home cookin' fans out to South Main Street every November for live music, arts, crafts, and most of all, that most Southern of all breaded goodness - homemade cornbread. Square off against competition like the "Men Do It Batter" team in the cornbread cook-off, or just indulge in all the carb-fueled fun. For more info (and recipes), go to Facebook or arkansascornbreadfestival.com. Looking for a unique, friendly-neighborhood corner store?
