    Like many things in Champaign County, the courthouse is plagued with problems.

Filings are often delayed for several days and/or returned for invalid reasons. The delays make it hard to get things timely filed.

It looked as if the guards were non-verbally communicating with body language when I passed through the metal detectors. I have read both pick up artists books by Mystery. I have read The Game and Rules to the Game by Neil Strauss. I also paid $1000 for the Annihilation Method material Neil Strauss created. I have consumed and digested about 80% of it thus far. It consists of Books, DVD's, and audio seminars. I'm aware when people are winging for each other. The material isn't only for romantic relationships but rather for all forms of communication. Anyways I didn't have any metal on me. I put what metal I had in the tote on the conveyor belt. The second, tall guard, wanded me. I turned around to look at the brand of the metal detector. It was a Garrett. I asked him when the last time it was calibrated by using the specific manufacture and model name. All scientific instruments have to be frequently calibrated to be admissible in court. He told me that information was above his pay grade. I looked him dead in the face and said nothing is above your pay grade if you're willing to learn, that's just an excuse. He broke eye contact in an insecure manner. His saccades were incongruent with what he was saying. His pupils were very tiny. Most places now use thermal imaging cameras and communication devices to alert the guards if a person has a weapon. It is my opinion their behavior was meant to be harassing and to force compliance. I recommend everyone read the 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene. Books on NLP will also help a person recognize when they are being lied to and the method to these guards madness. I hope the guards learn to be more respectful. They deserve to have the proprietary knowledge above their pay grade for the sake of our community members. I'm going to go back sometime to write down the make and model of the metal detector. I intend to file a complaint to Garret. Hopefully the courthouse gets charged a hefty 5 figure maintenance fee to make sure the metal detectors are functioning properly for the sake of our community members. Also to make sure our tax dollars are being used properly in accordance with the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Act. We know what is going on and we will NOT tolerate it. We will use science to defend ourselves from tyrannical authority if necessary. It helps I did biochemistry scientific research in my undergraduate. Y'all should see my resume. I bet the authorities there couldn't even pronounce the makes and models of the instruments I've listed on my resume that I'm proficient with. Have a nice day and thank you for reading. May the community be a better, safer, and more just place.

There is an energy around the square that I have not seen at other county courthouses. The courthouse building, completed in 1907 is constructed of Indiana limestone (of course). There is a large copper dome on top and four large clocks around the tower. A limestone-carved Lady Liberty sits over the main entrance with a male figure sitting beside her. The building is National Registered as a Historic Place. The Courthouse is surrounded by memorials. The is a really nice Viet Nam memorial on the West side with beautifully cared for flowering plants. On the East side is a War Memorial commentating those who served in multiple wars back to the Spanish American War. Other memorials honor local public servants. This is very much a working Courthouse housing the Circuit Court. Residents can register to vote here. Landscaping is variable around the courthouse with parts needing care. Many of the statues and the exterior of the courthouse building are in need of cleaning.

The second courthouse was built here between 1819-1826 and was two stories with brick and a stone foundation. It was expanded a couple of times but was eventually demolished for the construction of this new courthouse. The current stricture was build in 1908 and is in the Beaux Arts style. It is large, majestic and absolutely lovely. You'll want to try spotting the weather vane on the top of the dome which was saved from the original courthouse. The grounds of the courthouse have a number of memorials including a Civil War monument and a World War monument (because back then, there was only the one). There is metered street parking on all four sides of the courthouse and the square is surrounded by bars and restaurants and retail shopping. [Review 20563 overall - 101 in Indiana - 1544 of 2023.]

    I've been visiting West Lafayette for many years but never noticed this magnificent fountain until…read moremy visit to the Courthouse in September. The fountain is amazing - my first thought was just "wow". The fountain was designed by Laredo Taft in 1887. The statue honors General Lafayette, the city namesake. His figure stands majestically over the pool below. Panels around the base also honor John Purdue (namesake of Purdue University), an artesian well beneath the fountain, early pioneers of the city, Union solders who fought in the Civil War, and William Digby (founder of Lafayette). The fountain is surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Local business workers sat around the fountain eating lunch or reading in the serene setting and the sounds of the fountain water. There is free street parking about a block away. The fountain and Courthouse are definitely worth a visit.

In 1887, the piece was erected on the site and appears to have undergone some TLC along with the courthouse. The main figure atop the fountain is that of the Marquis de Lafayette who was instrumental in helping the inexperienced and underfunded American military during the Revolutionary War. Below that life sized figure, there are four oval reliefs and below that, an octagonal shape with each of the sides bearing an ornate framing around the names of honorees with ties to the city. Honorees are quite varied and include pioneers, soldiers, John Purdue, and William Digby, the town founder. Earlier versions of the courthouse are also honored. Although the honorees may be somewhat random, the overall beauty of the work is fantastic. Review #1410

She is a carved wonder remembering local heroes through the ages in the heart of limestone country. She looks pretty amazing for turning 100 years old in 2024. This is one of the most impressive monuments that I've seen in Indiana. The names of local heroes are posted around the little courtyard surrounding the monument. There is parking near the base of the monument. A few stone benches surround the statue but sitting on the massive limestone steps seems like the thing to do. The City of Bedford was sponsoring Memorial Day concerts across the street during our visit. Well worth a visit when in the area.

Located on the west side of the court house, a monument to Pioneers, Soldiers and Sailors rises in a dedication plaza that seems to be a catch all for everyone/everything someone in the county wants to commemorate. The main monument was erected in 1924 and features the artistry of two sculptors. The base of the sculpture rises above eye level and features four sides, each with a relief chiseled into the limestone. The artist was Charles Dodd. Each of the sides is unique in the theme and each features several human images portraying a scene. Standing atop the square pedestal is an allegorical figure representing Indiana. The robed figure stands 14' and was created by artist Harry Easton. Review #2009
