This is the old view of Headlee's Drug Store which was located in downtown Searcy Arkansas. This is another view of the building. This is the look of the building today. Simpson, Simpson, Collier and Brock, Searcy attorneys, held an open house which I dropped in on. It was impressive

I was put on the spot! Searcy Super Sleuths came to visit. I met them at Doc's Grill and got grilled myself! This picture shows how serious they can be about their history. From the right is Harold Gene Sullivan from Searcy originally but now living in Seattle. Next is Bob Fuller, the better ha

It was 1984 and this property was listed. It sold. Then it sold again. And even I had it for sale at one time. It rented mostly to Harding students because it is within walking distance of Harding. It was so TALL! And it is still tall. Here is today's view. When I had this house listed the

Here's a good-looking group of guys who looked out for the well-being of Searcy AR in 1979. This picture was on a calendar that I found in an old building that is being redone. In fact, there were several calendars in the old building and the old building was the Person Furniture Building that

Old advertisements for houses left out an item or two in order to get the customer to call and find out where the property was. Well, to tell the truth, real estate agents still do it! This picture comes from an old Powell Realty advertisement and leaves out (guess what) the address! Powell Re

Here's the way the corner of Spruce and Arch looks today. Sowell's Furniture has been there for as long as I can remember. The building is largely unchanged from when another store was located there. The store before this one was Garner's Ace Hardware. That must be going back over 40 years? T

Wonder what your neighbor sold his house for? Wonder what your house is assessed for? Wonder what the history of a house is? Wonder if your friend's house is still standing after all those years that you have been away from Searcy? For the past several years I have been paying good money to ge

The mural that stretches from Arch Street to Market Street in downtown Searcy is finally finished. (I think, but there may be something planned for the open space in the middle of this black and white and gray one.) Recognize any familiar landmarks in this mural? This view stretches it out a lit
