Hello Darlin'.... OUCH!! THAT HURT!!! Picture of a brick wall!

Searcy AR Hello Darlin" wall damaged

Ouch!  Darlin', that hurt!  Are you mad at me?  I guess there is a touch of humor in the accident that happened a day or so ago in Searcy AR.  Searcy, as you may know, was the winner in the Small Business Revolution in 2019.  Searcy has been doing murals downtown and trying to make a highly desirable small town to visit.  The building that has been injured here has Quattlebaum Music inside. Click here    https://activerain.com/droplet/5mvg    to see the front of the building and more about its history.

It was built in 1860!   And the next picture shows us what a REAL brick wall is!  We REALTORS are always saying that a house has brick walls.  They really have brick veneer walls!  THIS is a brick wall.  How fortunate you are to see this view before it was covered up for security purposes.  Anyone could use this as easy entry to the music store.  Imagine the work that was necessary to make the brick and then to build the wall!!  Redoing the mural and repairing the damage will seem easy in comparison.

So long, Darlin'...........

Morning Barbara.

I bet that did hurt. I was especially drawn to the thickness of the wall.

Good morning Barbara. This is certainly different. Remind me of very old construction.

Sheila, it was real old construction and the amazing thing was by crumbling that wall the vehicle was actually in the store.  No insulation.

Hello Barbara - at first I thought the photo was a bit of modern art - then upon reading your post my thinking lead to "Yikes".

I was looking closely at those photos to make certain the hole in the brick wall wasn't part of a painting instead of reality, Barbara!

Michael, it is an interesting situation.  Better "Ouch" than "Yikes!"

Myrl, it is a reality.   Do be sure to read the other blog that shows the building from the front.  It is a treasure that White County loves.

Wow! Barbara,  what good pictures.  Thanks for sharing.  I am sure many have never seen a real brick wall inside the wall.

Ricki, you are right.  That was the reason for showing the wall.  I learned from it also.
