Mixing a classical facade with aggressive asymmetry for no good reason makes me nauseous. I prefer their old courthouse:



Which is still standing, in use, and in the old downtown, instead of amongst all the strip malls by the interstate like the new one.

Once much of the country's population lived in county seats that
had the courthouse at one end of Main Street and the High School
at the other end, with the downtown area in between.
Even small towns often featured the school on a high point at the end of Main Street.

Absolutely. Looked like he was going to pimp slap him there for a bit and I was disappointed he did not.

Not exactly sure. Sometimes the road becomes a part of another highway and is redesignated. Sometimes the road is released to the county or city and is no longer maintained by TxDOT. Sometimes it just vanishes overnight. Sometimes it's wiped from the collective memory.

Renumbering or designating is the reason in just about every case. When we get down to Highway 24, you'll see that it used to run from Paris all the way to Old Glory (Stonewall County, north of Abilene). Most of that route (from Old Glory to Greenville) is now designated as US 380.

Is that the same as TX 24 that runs to Paris? Been up and down that one between my grandmother's house in Campbell and the apartment my parents had during stateside assignment when here from Indonesia in 1976…
