Seems every week I've been spending in SC for work.

What was funny was I was heading back to a different office, so GPS took me a slightly different route.

First time in this town, (I was following the GPS blindly and scratching my head) came to a stoplight, and there it was right in front of me...

All the courthouses in the South look that way.

Well, was going to post a picture, but that option seems to have disappeared.

Nice looking setting, but the steeple (cupola?) is WAY out of proportion for the building size.

With all due respect, you can't make a blanket statement like that IMO.I've always considered NC as being in the "the south" (AKA below the Mason Dixon line), and luckily the only time I generally have to be at a courthouse is for work or for volunteer work. I say that because personally, I think my own counties couthouse is pretty plain and simple, bordering on the line of ugly (plain square with some kind of aluminum/steel siding). Know a couple of other counties in NC where the courthouse really doesn't stand out architecturally as well.That said, the one other courthouse I did take a picture of because I thought it was nice looking was the Bulloch County Courthouse in Georgia.

I would agree.Just that after about 6 trips taking the same way home, as noted, after following the GPS blindly because I was going back to the office, I had NO clue where I was going, just seeing that I'd end up in the city where I wanted to go. The building stuck out at me just sitting at the stop light having no where to go and wait (seemed like a long light LOL).

the Courthouses in My State have imported Italian marble inside, what a waste of money!!..

Here's a link to the picture I was trying to post; this is a Texas Court House, where, incidentally, we got our marriage license many moons ago. It doesn't look much like the other court house. Texas is Southern, right?

My county courthouse...

I'll be in Tennesse tomorrow. Ironcially their courthouse looks a little like my county's courthouse, but with bricks and some larger windows.
