The Heights neighborhood in Little Rock had reported outages earlier in the day. Those outages are now restored but were affecting businesses like Steamroller Blues in the Heights and more.
“I would say around like 2 o’clock this afternoon, peak busy time on a Saturday, everyone’s leaving Heights Taco coming in and shopping, and our Internet went out,” Manager of Steamroller Blues in the Heights, Kaitlyn Elkins, said. “So really affects like especially busy days when we can’t call someone to come work on it can put the damper on business.”
Elkins said that though her business was able to work around the issues, others weren’t as lucky.
