When this was first built it was one of those rare "rural" courthouses as it was built between the two incorporated entities of Lee County of that time. I believe this once was actually a Jeopardy trivia question.
This was in Lil Village. For those not from Chicago; Cook County encompasses thirty "areas" including the greater Chicago-land area and is the second largest county in the country after L.A. ....Presided over by two ultimate Gangsters; Emperor Daley and Overlord Todd Stroger Jr., hence "Crook County". City of Gangsters.

Waiting on my CS5 software and just decide why not upload photo’s anyway? Picture nothing special not much editing or touch ups.
With two belts of blank ammunition slung around his chest, a Marine aboard the tank landing ship USS BARNSTABLE COUNTY (LST-1197) waits to go ashore during an amphibious landing exercise conducted as part of Unitas XXXII, a combined exercise involving the naval forces of the United States and nine South American countries.
Seen here passing from Bridge Street into Manchester Street in October 1983 is ECW bodied Leyland Olympian ARP 613X. These vehicles were long lived and most lasted past their 20th birthdays with Arriva The Shires. The driver appears to be wearing some non-standard clothing, appearing like he has just stepped off a cricket field!
This shot was originally in colour, but suffered from an orange patch in an awkward position which was not easy to remove, leading me to finally convert it to black and white.

Coming Soon: Photos from the 2015 Wallowas Weekend.
This year's trip got truncated due to weather. Heavy smoke from the unusually bad fire season almost had us spending this year's trip in the Sawtooths. But then rains came about a week before and blew out all of the smoke. But then the rains didn't stop. And with the rain came the cold. So, with a forecast for a very wet and cold Saturday followed by a warmer and sunny Sunday and Monday this Labor Day weekend, we decided to cut the trip down to two days and one night, and then move the trip back to the Wallowas.
We actually drove to Enterprise Saturday night as the rains cleared and camped in town at the Terminal Gravity BrewPub. This photo is what we saw on the drive in as we approached Enterprise. The storm had dropped a bit of snow on the mountains, but that didn't deter us and we were determined to hike and camp no matter what the conditions were.

Fulton County was created out of DeKalb County by an Act of the Legislature approved December 20, 1853 (as amended and corrected by the Act of February 7, 1854). The City of Atlanta was made the County Seat. From 1872 until 1932, parts of Milton and Campbell Counties were added to Fulton. In 1932, complete consolidation with Milton and Campbell Counties and the annexation from Cobb of the Town of Roswell fixed the boundaries of the County.
The first officers of the original County, commissioned February 15, 1854, were as follows:
Jones S. Smith, Sheriff
Benjamin F. Bomar, Clerk, Superior Court
Columbus M. Payne, Clerk, Inferior Court
Joseph H. Mead, Ordinary
Madison S. Yoakum, Tax Receiver
John M. Smith, Tax Collector
James Bartlett, Surveyor
John K. Landers, Coroner
The legislature act crating Fulton County did not specify whom the name honored. The names of two persons have been suggested: Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat Clermont, and Hamilton Fulton, Chief Engineer of the State in 1826. In 1954, the Fulton County Centennial Commission, based on research by several Atlanta historians, gave that honor to Robert Fulton.

Bastrop, Texas is the seat of Bastrop County and is located approx. 30 miles southeast of Austin on the Colorado River at the junction State Highways 71, 21, and 95. The site was first occupied in 1804 by Spanish troops when a fort was established where the Old San Antonio Road crossed the Colorado. The town was officially platted in 1832. Bastrop has a long and colorful history, far too voluminous to even attempt to summarize here. Excellent accounts can be found at www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hgb04 and at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastrop,_Texas.
Going back a few years to 1991 I was recovering from a stint in hospital with back problems. Medication meant that I was off the beer so I took the odd night out with my camera and tripod rather than to the pub. This view shows the County Court on Wood Street in Wakefield.
