Now that’s a courthouse!  The only thing that kept me from spotting it immediately was that there were just enough buildings around it that I couldn’t get a good look at the area, but there was little question what this building was.  I was also impressed by the Federal Courthouse across the street and thought … Continue reading 891.

Oh, Alabama!I’d been in Alabama before a couple of times before.  I just never set my feet on the ground so I never counted them.  My first time was a couple of days before on the way to Atlanta, but I never considered that I would start caching on the state from the opposite direction. … Continue reading 890.

Now this is a good use of a courthouse!  The old courthouse is a beautiful chonker to begin with, but it’s also connected to a stylish new courthouse as well.  Not only are they harmonious together, but all the side buildings like the parking garage match them, and the entire complex blends in nicely with … Continue reading 889.

The county courthouse was little more than drab gray, unattractive bricks piled on top of one another.  I wasn’t going to speak ill of it because Haralson County was small, and it obviously fulfilled their needs.  Now, however, I will speak ill of it because during my research in preparation to make this post, I … Continue reading 888.

Good show, Douglasville! This is how you make a modern courthouse look classic! I must admit to seeing one flaw in it though. Strangely, it looked a little fake to me. I couldn’t help but feel echoes of Courthouse Square (if only there was a cache there!). But Doc Brown won’t be hooking up a … Continue reading 887. Douglasville, Douglas County (GA007) →

For a little bit, I was worried that I was going to be in a similar situation as Atlanta where I wouldn’t be able to tell what was this or what was that from a courthouse perspective.  When I pulled up to the courthouse square in Marietta though, there was no question as it dominated … Continue reading 886.

Welcome to Hotlanta, the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement, the so-called Capital of the Black America.  Despite what Donald Glover would lead me to believe, it was not the most surreal place I've ever been.  Of course, I was looking for perhaps the least surreal experiences one can imagine.  I immediately ran into the … Continue reading 885.

This far away shot was far and away the best shot I could get of the building. All the other vantages were either blocked off by a building, construction, or the conveniently placed bus stop that inconveniently kept me from getting closer to another side. What I got wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. … Continue reading 884. Decatur, Dekalb County (GA004) →

I pulled up to the courthouse to find it under construction. Courthouses need tender loving care, but I suspect this was an expansion based on the work around the site. Maybe they're adding an annex? Around the corner was another county courthouse, I assume an older one. Perhaps the newer one is recently constructed? I … Continue reading 883. Conyers, Rockdale County (GA003) →

This is the historical courthouse in Lawrenceville instead of the current one. Why? Because I am aesthetic trash. It's absolutely lovely in red brick. I even saw courthouse elves dressing the grounds up for Christmas so that was good for a laugh. Another reason I went there was because there was a Virtual there and … Continue reading 882.
