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 is still in existence.
And look at all those poles! Telephone poles, light poles, poles to hold up awnings!
This picture should make us appreciate how thing have changed. When we feel like griping about a pothole, remember this picture. Also look at our lovely areas where the utilities are all underground.
A second view shows the street in the 50's.
