notice the "San Diego Beer" blade sign on the corner...as well as a sign advertising "Oak Bar". I'm unsure about the cut-off building plaque K R OK L.
-and if you look closely, there is a WELCOME sign on the courthouse tower.
-a glimpse of several buildings on the opposite side of the courthouse (on Broadway). -also, note the "New" sign on the utility pole at far right (for New High Street)
a detail of the steps, with Celtic-looking ornament engraved in stone. (oh, and two lions)
