Downtown Lafayette

One of my favourite things to do with my free time is walk around downtown, do errands, drink coffee, read, etc. It's not Chicago, but for now I'm content. Here's some pictures:

This is the courthouse. I like the windows, though there aren't enough of them, and the statues.

Close up of the dome. That's as close as I could get to the statue.

The courtyard and fountain. Since this was pretty early in the morning the sun was striking the statue starkly. He looks like he's glowing!

I'm not sure that it's a bank, but I wish they wouldn't put curtains in those lovely windows. They should put a giant chandelier on display in that middle one.


Detail of the bank.

The pedestrian bridge over the Wabash between Lafayette and West Laf.

In the background you can see five Purdue buildings on the hill, two grad housing, a parking garage, and Rawls and Krannert. This in the mid ground is Chauncy, the best hang out spot.

Walking back into Lafayette, this is a look at our tiny little skyline.
