arch street: Another one gone. Take a last look. Give your last goodbye to this Arch Street house. - 09/07/10 12:00 PM


A friend alerted me to this house's demise.  She said she drove by and noticed activity and then the next day the whole house was gone.  There's nothing but an empty lot.  The house was bought about two years ago by the First Presbyterian Church who probably will turn the lot into a parking lot.
I hate, really hate, to see this one go.  It appeared to be in mansion-like condition and had a lovely facade. 
But here are our last views.  One is from Mr. Google's walk down the street.  Until he walks again in Searcy Arkansas maybe … (24 comments)

arch street: 1912 View of Searcy Arkansas city street. Buy it right now on ebay. - 07/30/10 10:12 PM
I love this view of Searcy Arkansas that is for sale on ebay right now.  The listing says it is a 1912 view of the street on the South side of the courthouse. That would be Arch Street.  Dirt streets, old cars, old gents standing in front of Baugh's Drug Store.  It's fabulous and should be owned by this city.  It makes me have a question.  When the court house had wings added, did they take up more of the street?  Looks as if this is a mighty wide street compared to today.

These are what we need when we are feeling as if times are awfully tough.  Blogging buddy Anita supplied these photos of possibly some of her relatives, definitely at her home on Arch Street in Searcy.

The question is whether this man is absolutely worn out from working, whether the car hit the tree, or whether he is just doing what he usually does everyday.  If he'd had air-conditioning and TVs … (24 comments)

arch street: Arguments are just no fun but some of my readers are SO stubborn!! - 10/26/09 09:13 PM
Anita grew up in Searcy, Arkansas and I didn't.  I've just been here for the past 40 years while she's been gone.  She contributes to this blog with photos and comments.  She shared this picture and others of old Searcy with me.
I knew I'd seen that house somewhere so I took off to find it, sat in front of several country houses while people honked and stared and I finally had to call her and ask her where the house was.  The one with the little kid on the porch, I said.
She said it was this house that you'll below.  It was … (27 comments)
