The Most Beautiful Things in SoMa.

Every smile, every face, every person. Our community is the heart of it all, and the people who fill South Main with life are what make it so special. That’s what makes SoMa exceptionally beautiful.

Thousands of tiles. One pattern. Created by us! We will be the artists behind our last mural installation inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, the same spiral pattern found in pinecones, seashells, and galaxies. Every tile placed is a tribute to the community we've built here in South Main.

Big congrats to our board president, Arlton Lowry, on being published in this week's Arkansas Business! 🌟

In his commentary, "Proximity Is Accountability: Hire Local," Arlton makes the case for keeping professional-services work close to home. When organizations hire local firms, that money becomes payroll for Arkansans, mortgages in our neighborhoods, and support for the nonprofits that make places like SoMa thrive. 🤝

It's the same spirit we celebrate on South Main every day: invest in the people who invest in you.

📍 Pick up the October 5 issue and turn to page 25, or read it online at arkansasbusiness.com.
