Waco, McLennan County Court House

Short time in Waco, stopped off to the McLennan court house for some photo moments.  It was a cold morning, but still fun to explore!!

On 11 May 1953 
tornado struck downtown Waco,
the ALICO building was about the only building in 
downtown Waco that survived the storm.
The steel framed building swayed several feet in the 
tornadic winds, but only suffered minor damage.


every time I see this amazing building, I think of Waco, Texas!
nighttime shot all lite up!
Plus I love the American Flag flying high!!
