Many long years ago when I was in shape and rode all the time I rode the Tour of Paris and the Tour of Italy bike rides but I've never been to Paris, IL either. That is a really cool looking courthouse. There are a bunch of really cool courthouses in Texas but then with 254 counties you'd expect a bunch of neat ones.
I love seeing old buildings like that. They are so victorian looking. I wonder who has the office at the top of the clock tower and if the clock works?
