OMG! Is that our haunted house in this 1918 Mulberry Street Quitman AR postcard?? - 02/24/12 01:25 PM
The Arkansas Democrat Gazette has this popular feature called Arkansas postcard past by Steven Hanley and they print an old postcard each day.  This is Feb 24, 2012 and the card of the day is shown below.

It just so happens that we have a house listed on Mulberry that is inhabited by spirits as local legend goes.  We have permission from the seller to advertise it this way also.  So I peered at this dirt street and read underneath the picture.  It reads, "Quitman, 1914.  There was no traffic on the Cleburne County rural hamlet's tree-lined Mulberry Street when … (22 comments)

Look around. You'll see lots of these little offices, some still used. Old car lots. - 02/21/12 02:05 PM
This little building on Hwy 31 South in Beebe Arkansas stands out as you drive by because it is still labeled as the location for a car lot.  It is showing drastic age blemishes but it sure can bring back memories.

There were lots of these little frame buildings and not just for car lots.  We have one from Noble's Motel in Searcy AR.

Here's another one that lurks along Main Street.

All of these memories made me want to post this old family picture.  Sleuths will identify the people in the photo if they know them.  But … (12 comments)

Problems with my blog........????? - 02/21/12 01:12 PM
I am having trouble with blogging.  Pictures don't upload.  Activerain says everything went pear shaped and it is entirely their fault.
In the meantime, my two readers feel that I'm not blogging. 
 
That wasn't meant to happen… Things have gone pear-shaped, and it's completely our fault — sorry!
We've been notified about this problem will fix it ASAP.
 
 
I tried and some pictures will upload....some will not..........
Any advice from anyone??

Unexplored? But not ignored. Searcy Sleuths, how about the Cookie Basket building? - 02/13/12 12:22 PM
We give a  lot of attention to the grand old buildings and stores and architecture in Searcy but we have not looked at this little building located downtown on Market Street.  I'm hoping the Searcy Sleuths will be able to give us some history.  I can remember a little of the history.  Seems it was turned into a restaurant by someone who served Cajun food.   That didn't last.
After that a lady decided to open a cookie store!  A cookie store!!  Was she out of her mind?  Who ever heard of a cookie store in Searcy Arkansas?  She made it!  … (24 comments)

Safe at last! They took care of the tree danger in Searcy AR between two historic homes. - 02/08/12 08:57 PM
Now I can feel safe driving between two of Searcy's most historic homes.  They are located on E. Center Street and the tree looked like this.  It was obviously diseased and depending upon which way the wind blew we had two homes in danger.

To the East we had the historic Pascall house.  Those limbs would have demolished it.

To the West we had the Deener house, in whose yard the tree dwelled.

Driving between the two of them was little ole me....but not little ole me if the weather was stormy. 
While driving to work a … (14 comments)

Oh!!!! Please say it isn't so!! Bald Knob AR bank modernized..... - 02/04/12 05:37 PM
I closed a property with long-time Bald Knob Arkansas citizens.  During chat time, I showed them this wonderful picture of the bank in Bald Knob at an earlier time.

  They said, "Oh, yes, and it is still there. But it doesn't look the same."  I asked them to direct me to it and they did.
Here is what I found.  : (

Modernized....Changed....No longer recognizable.....
That's why I say, "Please tell me this isn't the same place!"

ActiveRain Blog Posts: The Top 10 of 2011 - Just for Fun Edition - 02/02/12 05:36 PM
I feel so honored to be in this list of the Top 10!  I still can't imagine how this blog of mine that was done so long ago could still be getting so many hits.  It has quite a few comments too.  There was nothing controversial in the blog but I guess that since the biggest house in the world caught my attention it was also of interest to many other people.  Thanks for letting me know!

Stotts Drug Store, Searcy AR. Was this handsome dude the beginner? - 02/01/12 08:06 PM
For sale right now on ebay!
Photo of Leo Stotts of Stotts Drug Store.


On the back of the picture it says Leo Stotts Hendrix College, Conway Searcy Ark, Stotts Pharmacist.
It is beautifully hand tinted and should hang in Stotts Drug Store if it is one of the original owners of the drug store.
Stotts has been redone within the last two years so that it has its old original look as shown here.  We in Searcy Arkansas appreciate the character that has been preserved by the owners of this drug store.
