Here's the courthouse I'm off to today. Now, that's a fine county courthouse: nice solid doric columns and a brick facade. Before Amelia got hit by a group of tornadoes this year it had a beautiful park out front with antebellum trees and the ubiquitous monument to those killed in the War of Northern Aggression. Now there are a couple of the older trees left out front and a lot of space where the old trees were uprooted has been filled in and covered with straw to encourage grass to grow. New trees have been planted too but they're sapplings so they're basically useless for the next 10-20 years. Still, it kinda gives you the feeling that Amelia is saying that it'll be around for the long run.
