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! She made the best cookies in the state and the restaurant still stands.
Just look at it now. It seems largely unchanged outside but the side wall appears to have once has a door.
This little building does have nice lines and The Cookie Basket has kept it looking historic. Let's do down on Tuesday for their famous Poppieseed Chicken!
