The way it used to be in Searcy Arkansas, right on the fringe of town. 1600 W Pleasure.

Anita Tart Fuller, you told off my little godson and pretty well told me off too!  What a delight you are when you get huffy.  I remember when the Youngs lived just off Pleasure Street in a house that looked something like this one.  I think I may have played bridge at their house one time.  Not that I played bridge for long....I was a substitute and decided that I didn't have the knack for that game.

I did NOT know that the Elliotts lived at 1107 W Pleasure.  Gotta see if that house is still around.  Keep guessing!

Mary, I remember the Young house.

Harold Gene, keep trying.  You sleuths have not found the house yet.

Don, I just made them all up.  Being creative I was.  I did get one right, didn't I?  The one I called a little devil?  And I do like the swing picture of you.  I wore lots of feed sack clothes!

Debbie, good guess but that isn't where it was.  Don's pictures were perfect, weren't they!!

Debbie, Anita, Ludean and all you not-so-super sleuths....here's another hint and picture.  This is actually showing the view from the front yard.  Notice the storm cellar in the front yard?  That brings back something that I'd almost forgotten.

I ran an ad in the newspaper that I had a "free storm cellar."  I figured someone could dig it up and carry it off.  I was absolutely overwhelmed with calls from people who wanted that cellar.  None of them, however, could figure out how to get it out of the ground. To the best of my memory it must have stayed there until the house was torn down.

Another interesting thing about tear-downs.  If you owe money, which I did at the time, they frown on your tearing it down.  I got a demand-letter saying I had to pay off the mortgage.  They were "calling the loan."  Somewhere in all that legalese they say you can't remove the house, I guess.  It was torn down in 1995 approximately.

And I guess I should include this one showing the neighboring property.  It shows the style house that came along after this one.  This one must have been an old farmhouse on the outskirts of Searcy.  It had a larger yard than the ones that lead back toward Searcy.  OOPS!  I almost revealed the location!  Sorry bout that!

Debbie and Willard, they were taken just before I tore them down.  I also tore down the one on the right.  Slumlord is not what I wanted to be. 

Mary Dunn, you are SO hot!!!  Now tell us more.

Debbie, I've been through many cameras in this real estate career.  Each one I got I thought would last forever.  These may have been the polaroid era, especially the black and white one.  I went through a zone change and had to have pictures which I found in my old file!!  Tell Willard we're making him a sleuth!!

Mary Dunn, I'll bet it was way out in the country then.  The young sleuths-to-be could not have been venturing out that far without a horse to ride!  LOL

Don, you have come through once more.  It was on W Pleasure.  West Pleasure was then the main drag out of town to the West.  Along came Beebe Capps and there went my investment.  : (   Wanna buy some good land in Searcy with lots of potential?

Debbie, sounds as if you and the family are having loads of fun with loads of room!!  Makes me happy.

Nutsy, Ms Debbie hardly knows you and I guess she finally got rid of your pesky relative that lived in her attic.
