Romance is just a little town with no stores and not many people but it has a post office.  The post office mostly does business because of the name where the mail is processed.  They do a big business at Valentine's Day or when someone is sending out wedding invitations. I went through Romance to find an REO property.  Romance didn't do much for me but this thing that I found on the side of Highway 5 did make my heart flutter. That, my friends, is a chair!  That is a huge chair!  That is a chair that Paul Bunyan would have fit into.  I must admit I didn't read the fine print on the building that is beside the chair but they surely provided an eye-catching item with the chair.  I need to go back and sit in the chair for a photo op!!!

I'm always writing about Searcy Arkansas because that's where I live and work and Searcy has grown through the years. Thumbing through my picture collection, however, I found this interesting shot.  It is a picture of Romance, Arkansas in 1930.  Romance lies 22.1 miles from Searcy and the trip takes about 49 minutes.  Actually, you head toward Joy and it leads to Romance (big Arkansas joke but a true statement). About the only thing at Romance is a post office.  Folks go there to buy stamps to put on wedding announcements or valentines or sometimes they'll plan their wedding in Romance.  With gas as high as it has become business may be down at Romance.  By the way, this is a photo that is almost unchanged except that if it was a store, it's no longer there and this street may be paved...
