This is one mysterious photo that says it is a Searcy AR eat shop and Tourist Court but I have never heard of it. I'm posting this for my Searcy readers to identify it and tell me where it was. The car's age may help to identify the time frame. Notice the flat roofed construction which was not

The old Southern people would say, "My ears was a burnin' this afternoon and I think it's 'cause someone was a talkin' 'bout me." I have met lots of people on this Activerain blog that I'd never have known otherwise. One of my favorites is Elizabeth Weintraub from Sacramento CA. My daughter w

Today is Thanksgiving and I'm thankful for so many things including being free of the skunk who lived near our house. It all started with our feeding a few little foxes. We have trapped two possums (as recorded in the last two blogs) and the third night we captured the lovely little skunk. He

Refer back to my blog about feeding God's critters and to my blog yesterday with our bagged possum. Time for the report about our second night of skunk hunting. We were sitting at the table eating dinner when the big battle occurred. We'd carried away the little possum that unfortunately wand

This old photo post card of Bill's Grill in Searcy AR on Race Street is sure to bring back a lot of memories to people who grew up in Searcy. What was then that little two-lane highway in front is now a 4 and 5 lane street that you avoid ever trying to turn left on. The cars in this picture a

fff This group of young people in Searcy Arkansas took their music lessons seriously! Look at all the evening dresses and the few guys are all dressed up also. I assume this was a recital probably in the 50's in our town. If I have posted this photo before, it's worthy of being shown again. O
