This is an extremely poor county. No industry to speak of, no revenue. They are still using a Courthouse built in the 1870’s, looks like the stage for “To Kill a Mockingbird”. They have been in violation of a Federal Court order for at least a decade over handicap access to the court. They do not have the money to install an elevator to the second floor where the courtroom is. It is a very sad place.
Actually sounds like a great place compared to the diverse urban shiiteholes every where else.

Nearly every early built courthouse in Texas is still in use. I used to have an office in the attic of ours. That much needed space had been added many years before. My floor divided the top windows in two so it was split between feet level for us and the ceiling of the floor below. Thankfully, my desk was shoved against the window but I had to lean down to look out.
