LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- After twenty-five years on Little Rock's South Main Street, Juanita's Restaurant has announced they are moving their business elsewhere.

"We just couldn't come to terms with the landlord," says James Snyder, manager of Juanita's. "We like the building but the terms of the deal we just couldn't work out."

The move comes as members of the non-profit Southside Main Street Assocation, or SoMa, work to rehabilitate the area and enhance economic development.

Scott Grummer with SoMa says that losing a popular eatery like Juanita's is definitely a loss to South Main, but he still has high hopes for the future of the area.

Delta Dog Dayz, a benefit for Humane Society of Pulaski County, features the Mutt Strut and Dog Show with eight categories. It starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 14 at Delta Trust's Hillcrest branch, 2924 Kavanaugh Blvd., Little Rock.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The interim superintendent of the Little Rock school district has been chosen for the permanent position.

Board of Education officials announced late Thursday that Morris Holmes will succeed Linda Watson, who left in January. A statement from the board said Holmes has agreed to be superintendent of the 25,600-student district through the 2012-2013 school year.

School board president Melanie Fox says the board has been very impressed with Holmes' work as interim superintendent and members believe he has the experience, talent and commitment to lead and help improve the district.

There were three finalists to fill the superintendent spot, but two of them withdrew, leaving June Rimmer as the sole candidate. Rimmer visited the district earlier this week.

The board's statement didn't mention Rimmer or why she wasn't selected.
