The invitation came through email, something that would never have been dreamed about when this house was built. The house is called the Kerr-Booth house and is located at the corner of Pecan and Center at 611 W Center. It is Queen Anne style and was built in 1890. So I drove up not in a hors

I did a blog several years ago with this old postcard on the blog. I had to ask the Searcy history experts where it was and they told me. It is on the corner of Elm and Mulberry and we are now neighbors. RE/MAX Advantage has moved to our brand new building at 200 W Mulberry and this little bui

I remember enjoying going into this jewelry store in Searcy AR. This photo which is borrowed from an old yearbook shows Mrs. Parrish who was always lovely and friendly. It makes me wonder now whether folks still shop for fine jewelry. There are so many pieces of flashy costume jewelry that on
