I’ve just added 3 more counties – in the ‘D’ list – Dawson, Dimmit, and Duval County.  None of them shine too particularly, but the pictured courthouse here is Duval County.  What it lacks in style, it sure makes up in historical significance.  For it’s was here, may years back, that Lydon won his ‘landslide’ victory in his quest to become a U. S. Representative.  There are still many tales about how Duval County, which was controlled by a political boss, ‘found’ enough votes not counted to Lyndon B. Johnson to claim the victory.  There’s a lot to that story, believe me.

btw – I’ve decided, at least for now, that the best way to overcome the previous/next page dilemna is to just to add in the text and link the text.  I need to find a syntax I like, and I’ll use that throughout – manually!  Also, I  started creating my Architecture page and went looking for sources to help explain some of the various styles used in Texas Courthouses when I stumbled on a great website that already had much of that information.  If you go to the Architecture page, I have a link there as well as in the Blogroll.  I still intend on listing the more productive architects and examples of their work on the Architecture page.

Now, I know there are hundreds – if not thousands, of you following this blog wondering when we would go ‘live’.  Well, that will be this week, so tune back in.  I’ll share the travels and courthouse visits with all of you – and provide any impressions I may have on the way.  Until then…..
