While I was outside taking photos of this building, there were a few news reporters setup outside the court house across the street. When I asked one of the bystanders, they mentioned a court case was in session.
When I returned home to look it up, I found out it was a Pike County Murder trial. Interesting to learn about what is going on when I’m out on the road.
