WR Glass has occupied this building in Searcy Arkansas for many years. They have either moved or closed their business because this old building is now empty. It has intrigued me for years. Look at the columns. Are those Art Deco? Look at the tile. There has to be a history here that our Sea

If you drool when you drive by Victorian homes, look at this one. It is a HUD foreclosure property in the little town of Bald Knob. The courthouse says it was built in 1947 but I don't believe that. An old-timer in Bald Knob says it dates back to the 20's, he thinks. The storage building in t

The Margaret Pope house in Searcy Arkansas is on Market Street and we drive by it all the time. It looked like this for a long time. One day I drove by and did a double-take as I saw big construction happening.....or deconstruction possibly. The work went on and on and on. Stucco came off the f

We have just had snow in Searcy Arkansas. Snow in Searcy means no schools, kids are free to go build snowmen, slide down hills, romp with the pups, throw snowballs and then come in dripping snow and ice and make a big mess in the house. Then they get dried off, warmed up and they are out the do

The Searcy Sleuths love a challenge. Therefore I'm giving them another one with these two pictures of a charming group of kids. The boy has evidently found his own style. One pant's leg is rolled higher than the other. Speaking to the kid reveals that it was not a style. So do you know why th

Girl's sports finally got back to Searcy Arkansas. Having been devoid of anything for girls to do for several years, Mayor Leslie Carmichael appointed a Parks and Recreation Committee to employ a director and supervise the program. This was on Dec 7, 1971. Appointed to the committee were Jame

Blogging makes you sit up and take notice. And if you have a camera you may sit up, take notice and snap a picture. As I did today. My White County Sleuths haven't had a puzzle in a few weeks so let's see if they can tell me where this is. It has been around for a long time, no doubt about tha
