Under Construction...CDP "T"heme Day (and ABC Wednesday!)



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...

  11. You're right. It hardly seems to fit. The mountains, of course, are outstanding.

  12. I'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!

    This would be why I yell when I pay taxes---so often the taxes I and every other Californian pays, are mis-used. ARGH!

  13. 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!

    Thanks 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!!!

  14. 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.

  15. Actually 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???!!!
