The newly implemented youth curfew in downtown Little Rock has received mixed reactions from River Market businesses. The curfew restricts anyone under 18 from being out between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless accompanied by a parent or guardian or meeting certain exceptions, such as work. While some business owners remain skeptical about the impact of the curfew, many have reported noticeable changes, including a decrease in teenagers in the area. Some managers are pushing for the curfew to extend beyond summer months and become a year-round policy.
