Schroeders Catfish Paradise? Anyone remember? Garner AR. Near Searcy

Old catfish place Garner building closed now

Traveling the back roads

I admit.  I like the old roads when I can take them.  Avoiding the heavy traffic and the crazy speeders on the main roads is relaxing. I have traveled through the tiny town of Garner several times lately and always notice this big building that was once a catfish paradise restaurant. 

Seems as if I did go there in the past but how far back was it?  Searcy Sleuths surely can fill in the blanks in my memory because we have a hard time forgetting great catfish places! (Remember the one just past Bald Knob when heading for Augusta?)  Fill us in if you can with a little history of Schroeders.  It has obviously not been used in a long time.

Well living here in Los Angeles I try to avoid the 405 Freeway and some of the other well-known roads but there are times when it cannot be avoided, as much as I would prefer to go on the back roads, Endre

Endre, having to travel on 5 lane traffic is awful.  Move to Arkansas!

Somehow, when I look at that photo, I can imagine Shroeders Catfish Paradise being cleaned up, opened up, and raucous food and joy being provided inside.

The catfish house I remember was the  One Stop in Georgetown. It was owned and operated by Ann Taylor. Ann has passed away.

 

I took this picture during a visit to One Stop for a mini Class of  1954 SHS reunion.
