Townies a bit Touchy over new Town Trial venue...
The new courthouse under construction in Mammoth Lakes is a bit of a Touchy
subject with Townfolk These days...
The State of California apparently has one or Two approved architectural designs
for new court houses and This is one...
The Town Tried valiantly to Talk the Titular state Team in charge of putting up The
new building, but apparently They must have Thought The Town wanted a Tent or
something equally Tacky instead of a Tectonic design That blended more with the
Tamarack ambience of Mammoth...
Ah well...while some may believe this Tort should result in a Trial in and of itself,
I think now That it's almost done, our only recourse is To finally accept
This Tawdry Tax expenditure on our Terra firma...
At least the windows mirror back The natural beauty of the area!!!

TOO bad that THIS TRAVESTY has TESTED THE TOWN'S patience!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, don't know enough of the facts to comment, but you've done a Terrific job of Telling us the issues. And it is a nice reflection.
ReplyDeleteI see you taking future Weekend Reflection photos here! Wonderful photo for theme day despite all the controversies :D
ReplyDeleteWow! More controversy over construction! Seems to be rampant, huh? Gorgeous shot, btw!
ReplyDeleteThis happens so often, in so many places. Look at the Twin Towers fiasco at the World Trade Center! How many years is it...
ReplyDeleteToo True Roger!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Francisca!!! It's actually not all that bad...it just doesn't fit into the woodsy look we prefer up here!!! It would probably look great in the city!!!
Yep...some great reflections Kaori!!!
I know Laurie...we just can't get away from it!!!
Welcome Meryl!!! Glad you stopped by to visit and comment!
It reflects nicely on you. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the controversary [also treated well]!
ReplyDeleteHappy ABC Wednesday
Ohhhh...pshaw!!! Thank you Berowne!!! And thanks for visiting and commenting!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nonizamboni!!! And welcome!!! Glad you stopped by for a visit!!!
What could better than that fabulous reflection in the glass. Whew!
ReplyDeleteV
You're right. It hardly seems to fit. The mountains, of course, are outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see how it holds up in the first REAL winter, or even one of those famous Mammoth quakes. I'd suspect in a few years y'all might have some issues that'll need addressing. Oops! Not to say that concrete block doesn't hold prisoners in (or even lawyers) but, there is a way to make it look like it fits into the area---and this ain't it!
ReplyDeleteThis would be why I yell when I pay taxes---so often the taxes I and every other Californian pays, are mis-used. ARGH!
The one plus Virginia, is the window reflections!!! Unfortunately, Trish is right...we tend to have quakes up here...could be a bit problematic in the long run!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tumblewords...It's just a bit modern and angular!!! Our town features a more folksy, mountany (is that a word???) ambience...unfortunately, this is right at the entrance to the town...
I feel your pain Trish!!!
I've noticed that public buildings often invite criticism while being built. Soon everyone will be used to what it looks like...at least that's what usually happens here.
ReplyDeleteActually EG Wow...I'm already pretty used to it and don't think it's as out of place as most of the townfolk do...but then I was a city girl up until last July so what do I know???!!!
ReplyDeleteTroubling site, terrific photograph!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tash...the saving grace is the windows...hopefully they're weather and earthquake safe!!!
