Ok, Sleuths. Here's a change of subject from historic Searcy. I stumbled upon this in the back closets of a relative. "What the devil is this?"  I asked Hubby. He turned it this way and that way and finally admitted that he didn't know SOOOOOOOO..... Here it is.  Some of you will try to read the ...

Vac Veterans from facebook has put up another old picture.  It shows one really fancy stable. It is labeled Searcy and Heber Daily Stage Line. J W Blevins Livery Stable. It shows men and horses and a stagecoach. One guy may be on crutches? I have never seen this picture before but Mary Cargile gi...

  Facebook creates friends. I found a new one with Vac Veterans who posts often on facebook.  He has a lot of old picture of Pangburn. He posted this photo and said it only has Searcy 1911 written on it.  In fact, we can see that in the upper left corner. So I'm curious too.  Do any of these buil...

I have too much stuff?  Not expensive stuff but just stuff that the family has stuck back over the years. One of these things is this billfold given away by Yarnell Ice Cream.  It has a neat picture on the front and it has the info saying that it has a secret compartment for hiding really good st...

This big old house on the corner has always interested me.  For as long as I have known it, it has been cut up into apartments.  It is just a couple of blocks from the one we were just discussing on North Main Street. Surely it was at one time a showy house with proud owners who sat on the porch?...

Let's review a blog that I did quite a while back. It had lots of beautiful kids posing on the front porch. It has Mrs.Klyster Knox standing with them.  Here's the house today. And, yes, we'd better show the kids! So this house at 510 N Main in Searcy AR is available right now if you'd like a hou...

Do you ever feel a lot of pain at the grocery store?  Especially if you take kids with you.  There are so many things to choose from!  Sooo many selections in every category.  And the prices for groceries have gone sky high.....so it seems.  Hubby and I have to report that we are home from the gr...

This old postcard shows Noble Motel with a big cool pool!  Folks were sunning and enjoying it.  The pool is no longer at the motel and the motel is no longer called Noble Motel but everyone who has been around Searcy AR for any length of time remembers the motel.  And they remember the restaurant...

This pretty old frame with an original pastel portrait of someone's child is lovely, I think, and was a common thing in days gone by.  It was fashionable to take your baby's picture "naked as a jaybird" when cameras rolled around. And then in my case, kids would get older and you could threaten t...

I drove by and the wrecker was there. The bright light on the right seems to indicate a new dawning for the lot but for the house not! Today I read in the newspaper that it is gone, torn down, an empty lot.  It really was in bad shape and probably couldn't be saved.  I did a blog on it once. Sear...
