Now I can feel safe driving between two of Searcy's most historic homes. They are located on E. Center Street and the tree looked like this. It was obviously diseased and depending upon which way the wind blew we had two homes in danger. To the…

This was found by a banker member of the family when going through old items left behind. He chuckled and handed it to me. Notice the check was signed with "by wife" underneath the name. It was also "for rent" and was check No 2. The banker…

We've listed a house in Searcy Arkansas that has a rock and brick front. The front is rock that looks to be the type house built by a man named Silas Owens who built houses with a delightful combination of native stone and brick. Here's an example…

Of interest today while driving in the country was this neat set of steps going over a barb-wire fence. No house was nearby. No barn. No nothing. But there was this way of getting over the fence. Seems as if I can remember a few of these steps…

What a delightful and interesting view from our vehicle! We were just cruisin' along Hwy 36 West in White County Arkansas between Rosebud and Quitman Arkansas and gazed to the side of the road and found a bear family, I think they are bears…

It's a first. After over 30 years in real estate I had a seller say his house was haunted and I could advertise it that way. So here goes! But he is NOT selling it because it is haunted. He is selling it because of health problems which caused…

Great picture, isn't it!! This old picture of the Bald Knob State Bank with an approximate date of 1910 shows how lovely the building was. Evidently the fashion was to have a corner entry. I started comparing. Here's a picture of the Kensett…

I saw the truck and had to turn around and go back for a picture. It had a for sale sign on it so surely the owner wouldn't mind if I snapped a picture. My ulterior motive? It would match my shoes!! You don't believe it? Have a look…
