searcy ar: Time for Searcy Arkansas history again. Old house as it is today. - 11/20/09 09:40 PM

A friend of mine, eons ago, was preparing to move and had a lot of things to throw away. Being a scavenger, I claimed some of it. One thing she had was several pictures and floorplans of houses in Searcy that had been designed and built by her husband. I guess … (24 comments)

searcy ar: Only the older ones of you will know what this is. Check it out. - 11/08/09 08:58 PM

Advertising was big when this thing was published just as it is today. We might even pass these things out as ad gifts if times hadn't changed.
Hotels were featured here. In Little Rock, Arkansas check out the Grady Manning, The Marion, The Albert Pike and The Lafayette.

You youngsters … (33 comments)

Pioneer Village, a part of the White County Historical Society, held an open house today. I attended. It was delightful and brought back so many memories. Here's the main house that is NOT for sale.

And here are few shots of the rooms inside it.

searcy ar: New restaurant in Searcy Arkansas. The Whistlestop Barbeque is like a museum... - 11/04/09 03:04 PM

A new restaurant has opened at 2315 W Beebe Capps Expressway on the West side of Searcy Arkansas. Lots of vehicles have been parked around it saying that Searcy is trying it out. Searcy is great about going to a new restaurant and giving it a try. Usually ONE try! If … (12 comments)

searcy ar: Formal gardens in Searcy Arkansas? It's a treat to drive by and see this yard. - 10/30/09 09:52 AM

Formal gardens still exist in parts of the world, I'm sure. But in Searcy Arkansas I see only one example of what I think of as formal. This house is on the Historic Register and has a vast history. One of the stories that I heard was that the lovely wood … (15 comments)

searcy ar: Sometimes I just can't keep my big mouth shut.....especially if there is danger involved. - 10/28/09 09:30 PM

Today was tour day, or caravan day, or get-in-your-car-and-fill-it-with-your-friends-and-go-see-houses day.
I feel that touring is a must when you are a beginning agent. Not only do you get to know the inventory but you get to learn the streets. After 30 years I still feel guilty if I don't tour.
Today, … (25 comments)

searcy ar: He loved this woman and this child! A Searcy love story. - 10/25/09 08:09 PM

This man lost his mother when he was very young and started supporting himself at the age of 15 or 16. His education was limited but he was gifted with street-smarts.
He fell in love and talked this girl into marrying him. He had to break up a courtship that she already … (18 comments)

searcy ar: Georgetown, Arkansas. You've gotta be going there because you can't drive by! - 10/22/09 07:15 AM

Georgetown Arkansas in White County is the oldest continuously settled area in Arkansas, according to Wikipedia. It was settled in 1789 and overlooks the White River. As of the census in 2000 there were 126 folks who lived there. There were 55 households and 33 families.
Now, more down to earth … (23 comments)

searcy ar: And another one bites the dust. International Shoe Factory building in Searcy AR goes down. - 10/18/09 08:54 AM

It gets to be shocking. Drive by and notice the building is either gone or half way down. That's the way it was with me on Main Street. The old International Shoe Factory building is a goner. I did another double-take because it was already half gone. I snapped pictures. The International Shoe Factory … (15 comments)

searcy ar: A four-chimney house? That must have been a real luxury in old Searcy Arkansas. - 10/16/09 07:50 AM

This historic house is barely on the East side of Searcy on a corner lot with huge trees. So many trees, in fact, that pictures are difficult. I believe it is called the Margaret Pope house. Correct me, Searcy readers, if I'm wrong.
I drive by it daily and wonder why … (24 comments)

searcy ar: Now this is a B--I--G tree.....beside an old Searcy Arkansas home. - 10/14/09 09:11 PM

Each time I drive by this house and it is almost every day, I drive a little faster thinking that if one of those limbs comes down on me, I'm a goner!

Well, not really. But I always think that the tree is as historic as the house. … (28 comments)

searcy ar: Revenge will be sweet if I live long enough to see it. Their feet will hurt!!! - 10/12/09 07:32 AM

Clip, clip, clip, klop, kloppety, klop.......here she comes again.....
"She" means all the women in my office who wear "bad" shoes. Dumb shoes is what I call them. There is a pergo floor in the hall and the sounds of those shoes grate on the nerves.
A little filler in the … (28 comments)

searcy ar: A rainbow over a little horse farm in the city limits of Searcy, Arkansas. - 10/05/09 06:51 PM

We have friends who have lived in the same house for years and a house which used to be in the country.
Driving to visit them seemed to take a long time a long time ago. After all, it was in the country.
Now the city has grown out to meet them. But … (8 comments)

searcy ar: That is NOT my mother at that motel in Bald Knob Arkansas! Sure looks like her though. - 09/23/09 04:47 PM

Bald Knob, Arkansas, located about 12 miles from Searcy Arkansas, used to be the strawberry capital of the world! Now it is still a pretty busy little town but the strawberries are mostly pick-your-own.
Ebay had this card showing the Americana Motel located at Highways 64- 167 & 67 in Bald … (15 comments)

searcy ar: Ode to a mentor. Mentors are very important when you start in real estate. - 09/21/09 07:55 PM

My old friend called me today. She said it just as she always did.
"This is Lill [pause] Williams."
For the hard of hearing, the slow to catch on, the busy person....it was definite who was calling. There was never a quick, hard to understand, "ThisisLill," with the person on the … (57 comments)

searcy ar: Antique fire alarm system? Look at this strange one and tell me how it worked? - 09/20/09 10:11 AM

Look what I found in this latest foreclosure that I'm having to work up.
I thought that it was so neat! The house was built in 1969. So perhaps this was part of construction in those days. However, I've been in a lot of 1969 houses and I've never ever seen … (17 comments)

searcy ar: Romancing the soap..................... - 09/19/09 09:25 AM

Ker-plunk!!
Ooops! Something fell out of the bed. Groggy me tries to comprehend what the item might be. Couldn't be me 'cause I'm still in bed! A quick feel indicates hubby is still a lump on the other side.
OH!! YEAH!! It musta been the soap!
The soap has to go … (55 comments)

searcy ar: It's White County Fair Week in Searcy Arkansas. They used to give away cars! - 09/16/09 02:16 PM

Monday there was a parade down the main streets of Searcy Arkansas to begin the White County Fair. Bands, floats, horses, queens, politicians, and a-lot-more strutted along the streets as cheering throngs waved to them from the sidelines.
Weather is pretty nasty this week but hopefully it will clear up before … (16 comments)

searcy ar: Let's not forget to be thankful for the streets of Searcy Arkansas. Look at this! - 09/15/09 07:38 AM

Here's a historic view of West Arch Street in Searcy Arkansas. Notice the building on the right was under construction. Notice the streets look like mud! Looks like a wagon with passengers heading West. On the South side you can see a Drug Store sign and that must have been Stotts which … (8 comments)

searcy ar: 1948 Notepad from Searcy Arkansas, 501 N 8th St. There is NO 8th Street! And no Ramsey Printing. - 09/06/09 02:30 PM

When you feel adventurous now and dig into old drawers or cubby-holes you have a new goal!
Blog fodder!!
Goodness!! Look what I found!! I gotta show this to my Activerain friends.
So look what I found!
This old sheet out of a note pad was probably a give-away in … (15 comments)
