This is a picture that is unusual in that it is in black and white and shows the city of Searcy AR at night. We are gazing East from Arch Street toward the First Methodist Church. Almost no vehicles spoil our view of the streets and the parking meters.
Who remembers parking meters? I do. You had to keep them fed with nickles and quarters. Who remembers Western Auto on the right? I do but I don't remember Firestone Tires .
The light poles appear to be decorated so it may be Christmas and I can't figure out those giant orbs in the sky. But it is a different and rather romantic picture of the downtown area. Borrowed from the 1956 Petit Jean yearbook.
