Andy's Angles: Pike County

Pike County has always been one of my favorite places.  Going there these days is a bit of a culture shock.  You hear more New York and New Jersey accents than Pennsylvania-speak.

The county courthouse is a step back in time, and that's a good thing.  It's outlived its usefulness.  There are plans for an addition to be built on the left side as you walk in the front door.  Below is an artist's rendering, lifted from the News Eagle web site.

From what I read, most people seem to like the proposal, and it's on its way to becoming reality.  I can't say I'm a fan.  It's far enough away from the original building as to not detract from it.  However, it still doesn't work for me.
