This is the Cobb County Courthouse that I remember from my
formative years. There seems always to
be men hanging out in front, some tipsy from brown paper bags they had on their
person. See the stairways to the
left? Those stairs led to a bonding
company owned by Robert McEntyre and Bill Spinks. My uncle Spencer Crain owned a bonding
company out of sight around the corner.
Commissioner Herbert McCollum wanted to replace it with a more
modern one. Old Cobb Countians were against
it. Then it “Just so happen” that bricks
from the tower started toppling off down to the sidewalk below… and I think it caught
on fire tool.
It had to be replaced!
