Did any of you ever "Google" your town's name in "Google Images". Just for the fun of it, I searched on "Sinton, Tx". Anybody from Sinton want to tell me about the place in this pic:

Some of you want to put up some interesting pics from your town?

I found a nice picture of Crutcher Scott Field...home of Preseason #1 ACU Baseball.

Somebody go google "abilene, tx" and see what picture stands out to you. Maybe 3rd row...3rd one from the left???

Much better, but they stole your courthouse windows for the bigger trees.

It's a nice enough courthouse I guess, but I have never really liked it. It just doesnt have any character, like the old one had. Luckily, I seldom have a reason to go in there. Knock on wood! Now I'll probably get a jury summons tomorrow. Gee thanks Phantom!

Stephens County Courthouse.

http://www.texascourthouses.com/Courthouse%20Photos/Stephens.JPG

It doesn't show the coolest part, and the far side we still have the doorway of the original courthouse as a landmark for pre boom-town days.

And I have to add this one...

http://www.thc.state.tx.us/images/mainstreet/msphotoalbum/breckbefore.jpg

It's not great, but see the B at the top of the tower? It lights up after every win. Kinda cool to drive down main street the nights after a home game win, or coming in on the bus from a road game and seeing the "beacon" to welcome us.
