We’ve had, uh, we’ve had several groups. We have, uh, a lot of local talent, uh, Brewster and company, Delaney Taylor. The person that comes and really has a lot of talent is Mary Beth. People in the local area really love her,” Robert Abraham, co-owner of Abe’s Place, said.</p><p>Coleman said maintaining live music every Friday and Saturday night while running the restaurant requires support.</p><p>“It’s hard to be anywhere without support, especially here in Jonesboro. A lot of the support came from Omar’s. He’s very well known in Omar’s, and he’s very well known here in Jonesboro. He owns Omar’s Uptown, and we frequent him still ... even Abe’s is open,” Coleman said.</p><h2>From Memphis trips to a Jonesboro restaurant</h2><p>Abraham said he and Coleman often traveled to Memphis on weekends before opening Abe’s Place.</p><p>“The thing is, Carolyn and I would find ourselves in Memphis most weekends. We would go down, have dinner, at a really nice restaurant, bring food home and we’ll come home and lay on the sofa. We wanted a little something different. Basically we kind of brought New Orleans and Memphis to Jonesboro,” Abraham said.</p><p>Coleman also runs her own medical practice, Premiere Family Practice.</p><p>“We both have very strong personalities with him being a surgeon and he being a nurse practitioner, and I own my own business as well. It’s pretty challenging. He has his views, I have my views so to be in the position that we are to help people that’s just what we’d like to do,” Coleman said.</p><h2>Hours of operation</h2><p>Abe’s Place is open Tuesday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Brunch is served Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.</p><p><i>To report a typo or correction, please</i> <i>click here</i><i>.</i></p></div></body>
