We stopped in Coalville, Utah, to eat Subway sandwiches at a picnic table on the courthouse lawn. First of all, the Summit County Courthouse is a wonderful building, but what impressed me was when I went inside to use the restroom. There was no guard, no metal detector, no wanding while I raised my arms.
Instead there was art from local artists on the walls. One office had a sign outside in the hallway near the front door that said "Information" with a helpful woman to dispense it. I felt welcomed and left Coalville, Utah, with a warm feeling for the town.
The Carbon County, Pennsylvania, Courthouse, located in a town that lives on tourism, might take a lesson.
