Okay, here are some modern photos taken in the last seven years. Trulock Park is on the Arkansas River below Pine Bluff. My Trulock ancestors lived in this area from 1845 until I'm not sure when. The matriarch, my great-great-great grandmother Amanda Beardsley Trulock, ran the plantation from the time her husband James Hines Trulock died in December 1849 until she returned to her native city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1866. What I don't know is how long the land belonged to her heirs after she died in 1891, or if it was even in the family that long. Trulock Park has covered picnic tables and a boat launching ramp, but was closed down when I took this photo. It reopened for a while, and now is closed again due to a decrease of funding for the US Army Corps of Engineers. (Summer 2012: It may be open again, at least for the summer.)
David Motel is in Shreveport. Photo from August 2004.
House with Dr. Pepper Machine is in Malvern, Arkansas, or was when I took the photo sometime in this century.
Dogs in the Puegeot with the Volvo nearby are in the parking lot at Wheatsville Food Co-op in Austin, Texas. Circa 2005.
