The Courthouse
The bell tower can be reached from a small staircase off the third
floor. The door leading to the stairs is locked with a hasp and padlock.
The steps are small and the place is definitely not for claustrophobics.
Tiny windows look down at the sidewalk - nearly 100 feet below.

On
the way up one sees that someone named Albert was once in the tower
with white paint and time on his hands. It can't immediately be proven
that Albert was a county employee - but when he painted his name here
- he was certainly "on the clock".
