First-quarter collections of Little Rock's 2 percent tax on restaurants and hotels are up I 1 percent from

With first-quarter numbers out, O'Byrne said Tuesday, "It's fantastic news, but I think we should all vii
the beginning." The goal, he added, is "to really continue this momentum."
Collections from the hotel and restaurant tax totaled $2.09 million in the quarter that ended March 31 ,
$ 1 .88 million in the same period last year.
O'Byrne noted that hotel room revenue in the first quarter was up about 19 percent from the same peri(
as about 450 more rooms per night were occupied. Those numbers include Little Rock hotels and the
Riverfront in North Little Rock.
River Market area restaurants did quite nicely for the first three months of the year, according to the Ci
Visitors Bureau.

Chuck Corzine, a manager at Boscos, said he expects more growth. Word of mouth helps drive people
noted.
"As long as the area's thriving, we're going to thrive," Corzine said.
Business at the Underground Pub is still good, said Sara Harris, an owner. But she said parking and Ur
location a little off President Clinton Avenue present challenges.
At the Holiday Inn Presidential near Interstate 30 and Sixth Street, the Clinton center adds about four r
night and 10-plus rooms on a busy one, said owner and developer Larry R. Carpenter. He said the hote

"We've got more than just hope at this current time," he said. "We've got a strategy and a game plan to
newness, the new perception of a presidential library being located right here in our city. And I'm very
part of that."
The Clinton center and the River Market area provide people with many activities, said Skip Rutherfoi
the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation. He called Little Rock a fun and easy place to visit.
• "You can arrive in the city, park your car and basically walk to some great museums, some great rests(

• Media coverage has helped spread the word about Little Rock, he said, noting a recent article in Trave:
magazine. Since it opened, the Clinton center had more than 260,000 visitors through April 30, Ruther

Attractions other than the Clinton center are doing well, according to a news release from the Convent:
Bureau.
The museum at Central High School had more than 8,000 visitors through March, the release said. Ths
increase from the same period in 2004. In a statement, Mike Madell of the Central High School Nation
cited several reasons: "We are becoming more wellknown as a unit of the National Park System; upcoi
anniversaries of key civil rights events are [inspiring] people to visit sites like ours, and undeniably, th,
Clinton Presidential Center has brought many visitors to Little Rock."
First-quarter attendance at the Arkansas Arts Center was up more than 20 percent from a year earlier, i
at the Historic Arkansas Museum was up 6.5 percent, the release said.
Rutherford noted that other projects near the river are on the way, such as a possible baseball park in N
and a nature center in Little Rock. But he said the first three months of this year have been important.
"I think the first quarter of 2005 proves that [Mayor] Jim Dailey's prediction has come true that Little I
