Plans for a retro bowling alley and a German
beer hall are in the works for the 300 block of
East Capitol Avenue across the street from
Rock Region Metro's River Cities Travel Center.
The proposed establishments -- the Dust Bowl
Lanes & Lounge and Fassler Hall -- replicate
businesses owned and operated by The
McNellie's Group, based in Tulsa, which has
pubs and restaurants in Oklahoma.
The Little Rock Historic District Commission
considered design proposals for both
structures at a meeting Monday, an early step
in the process for developing both venues.
The buildings being considered for the new
businesses are Within the MacArthur Park
Historic District.
The commission approved the design plan for
the Dust Bowl Lanes It Lounge with some
changes and deferred a decision on plans for
the Fassler Hall ro osal until its January
P P
meeting.
Leases for the spaces have yet to be signed
and the projects are in preliminary stages,
Jimmy Moses, chairman and founder of Moses
Tucker Real Estate Inc., said Monday.
"We're still in the middle of negotiating the
details on both," Moses said. Efforts Monday to
reach the principal owner for The McNellie's
Group, Elliot Nelson, were unsuccessful.
Moses Tucker is largely responsible for early development of the River Market District. The area
closest to the Arkansas River has plenty of food and entertainment offerings, but pickings are
slimmer closer to East Capitol Avenue.
The Dust Bowl Lanes Et Lounge, a throwback to the classic bowling alleys of the 1970s, would go in
at 315 E. Capitol Ave., the former M.M. Eberts American Legion Post. Plans for the business
include a restaurant, bar and "boutique" bowling alley, according to a staff report generated for

Moses Tucker bought the building earlier this year in a deal that also included a parking lot behind
the post. On that site, the real estate development and property management company is $29 for 18-Hole Round of Golf for Two People with Carl

Fassler Hall would go in the former Paragon Printing building at 307 E. Capitol Ave., next door to BMW of Little Rock
the Dust Bowl. An alley between the two buildings is now closed. Search 804 vehicles
The Paragon structure has two-story floor -to -ceiling glass front windows and blank walls on the
sides. Plans for Fassler Hall include a restaurant and outdoor seating. The large expanse of brick
would be broken up With bays on the east and west sides.
The Paragon building is owned by Central Arkansas Water but is vacant except for a portion used
for storage, Moses said. Moses Tucker is helping negotiate a lease agreement between McNeWe's
and the water utility.
"The East Capitol Avenue area has not been a very vibrant neighborhood before," Moses said. But
that's changing with the recent opening of MacArthur Commons and new nearby hotels. The Row
at Legion Village is scheduled to open in summer 2016.
"This will all have a significant impact on how people will see East Capital Avenue," Moses said.
"We've always said the River Market District extended all the way to Capitol, and this is an
affirmation of that."
The Paragon building, built in 1947, is considered a "contributing structure" in regard to the
historical significance of the area; the former Legion post, erected around 1968, is not considered
a contributing structure.
McNellie's operates Dust Bowl and Fassler Hall locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
