We’ve reported that Scott McGehee and John Beachboard have been working on Local Lime, a new taco/fresh margarita restaurant concept; at last report, they were looking for just the right location. Now they’ve found it: It’ll be a close neighbor of their other “citrus” restaurant, Big Orange, in the Promenade at Chenal, 17809 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock. McGehee says he’s hoping to be open by mid-September, and certainly no later than Oct. 1.

With a new take-and-bake place, Papa Murphy’s, (expect a review of that one eventually — so many pizza places, so little time and slack in our jeans) that recently opened around the bend on North Hills Boulevard ?
