                                Approximately two years ago I moved back to Searcy.  I lived here for 11 years previously.  After living in the Kansas City metropolitan area for 23 years, I was concerned about moving back to a city of approximately 20,000.  It has been a very good experience.  Searcy has a lot of growth going on now.  There are new stores and restaurants going up regularly.  Main Street has a beautification plan that is going strong.  The campus of Harding University is now undergoing a facelift as well.  There are homes in virually every price category that are available.  The schools are excellent as are the healthcare facilities.  The slower pace has been a difficult adjustment, at times, but the slower pace of life is less stressful.  I have found people very friendly, helpful and kind.  A total stranger once gave me a ride when I knocked on her door to ask to use her telephone to call for a locksmith.  (I had locked my keys and phone in my car.)  Now, that is what I call a great neighnorhood!
