Union Station used to be a very important part of transportation in Arkansas.

When I was a kid, my grandmother, Louise Herrington, took me for a ride on an Amtrak train. We only hit a couple of the whistle stops before going back to Arkadelphia, but I thought we were big stuff...

Dee, I think it's absolutely amazing that Little Rock has allowed this building to continue to stand. So many cities tear down their beautiful old buildings then build ugly new ones. Though they've made some changes, I think they've maintained its integrity. It's beautiful in both photos. Also, I'm impressed with the clarity of the first photo. I was certain it was a new one in black and white -- until I saw the horses and buggies.

I should have said this before, but your 'Then & Now' photos are pretty damn cool.
