Within a mile of the historic "Toad Suck Square" - where Milton Davis first coined the phrase - you'll find a treasure trove of arts, culture and interesting things to do. More than this, you'll find a place where government, education, business and people of all walks come together in one of the most energetic, creative and yet somehow laid-back cities in Arkansas.
In the heart of Downtown Conway, you can enjoy an afternoon strolling down our sidewalks and shopping in our unique shoppes & boutiques. You can dine-in or dine-out (roof-top) at one of our terrific restaurants, then walk over to Simon Park, Hendrix or UCA for an evening concert full of wonderful music and entertainment. Still not tired? Then come back and enjoy and evening of live entertainment on the rooftop of Michelangelo's.
There's just something about Downtown Conway...its cool downtown!___________________________________________________________________
