One of the plusses is seen above-- Courthouse Square, as seen from the parking garage at North Washington and Linden Street.
I really wasn't a fan of the renovation project here several years ago. While the ugly annex on the Linden Street side had to come down, too many trees were destroyed. There is far, far too much concrete and granite.
I'm happy to say the new trees are growing nicely, but unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the sea of stone.
By the way, today is Armed Forces Day. We don't celebrate that as enthusiastically as we once did. No parade. No display on the square. It makes me sad. Make up for it by thanking people in uniform-- all the time.
