Eric Harrison with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Donnie Ferneau, Jr. has had enough of the 1836 Club and is leaving to open a new joint possibly in the Pulaski Heights area of Little Rock.

DONNIE FERNEAU, JR. - NO LONGER COOKING UP EATS AT 1836 CLUB

We posted our opinion that tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet would be extremely reluctant to have his agents to conduct any compliance operations at the 1836 Club.

We have asked the Department of Finance & Administration  and the ABC for documents regarding compliance operations conducted at the club.

Look for an update next week.

A source inside the ABC told us yesterday that Hooter's of Arkansas had filed an application for a permit for a new location in Little Rock near Dave & Buster's near the I-30/430 interchange. No doubt tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet will take charge of the application investigation himself.
