I've ranted about Lackawanna County Courthouse Square in Scranton in the past. It's a soul-less sea of concrete and granite, with a wall that's the wrong color, the wrong size, and inappropriate for the site.
I had a chance to look at it more closely on Monday, while I was waiting for Bob Cordaro and AJ Munchak to be sentenced. I tried to like the square. I really did. I tried hard.
After a couple hours of severe contemplation, I've decided that Courthouse Square is a soul-less sea of concrete and granite, with a wall that's the wrong color, the wrong size, and inappropriate for the site.
The building in and of itself is lovely from the outside. Demolishing the hideous annex was a good thing. Inside, it has all the charm of a state prison.
You know how I feel about the environs.
