Since 2022, Rogers restaurant Toot Beirut, helmed by executive chef-owner Khaled Alkhatib, has been busy, and it’s easy to see why. The vibe is casual but nuanced and bright, with perhaps the best offering of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in the region. Quietly tucked away at Village on the Creeks, the fragrance of spices, slow-roasted lamb and smoked eggplant permeates the air even before you enter the front door. The entire joint is buzzing with activity from a diverse group of hungry patrons, and by the looks on the faces of everyone eating, this is the place to be.
When Leah Bewley was looking to downsize to a smaller house, she knew she wanted her sister, Myra Graves, with Myra Graves Designs, to help her.
Leah was set on finding a house in Har-Ber Meadows in Springdale because she and Myra both have fond memories of the neighborhood.

When Dr. C. Lowry Barnes stepped into the role of interim chancellor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in July 2025, he did so with the confidence of someone who understands both the operating room and the boardroom. Now, having been named chancellor in February, Barnes leads Arkansas’ only academic medical center at a time of historic growth, particularly in Northwest Arkansas.
