Two streetcars were used to shuttle people from North Little Rock to Riverfest in Little Rock, free of charge. Theses are on Main Street in North Little Rock.
The building to the left of the streetcars is the Argenta Drug Store, the oldest drugstore in continuous operation at the same location west of the Mississippi River. Argenta Drug was opened in 1887 and has become the oldest continuously operating pharmacy west of the Mississippi River.
Here is the building.
