LET THE FED COURTHOUSE SPECIAL, SHINE A LIGHT ON ME..
























(Ed.'s Note: One of our readers was walking downtown when they saw a worker sprucing up the lights on the old federal courthouse at the corner of Elizabeth and 12th streets. The courthouse harks back to the early 1930s (1931) and served as the former United States Court House, Custom House, and Post Office in Brownsville.

Also known as the Old Federal Courthouse, it is the former courthouse of the United States Court for the Southern District of Texas and currently serves as City Hall. The building replaced the 1892 courthouse, custom house and post office which was razed in 1931. The replacement for the 1931 building was, in turn, completed in 1999. The four-story building is located at 1001 East Elizabeth Street, and still houses an office of the U.S. postal Service.)

But this historical building sits in the middle of rinky-dink stores with nothing but cheap stores and used clothes smell, dirty sidewalks full of gum and papers and even people sleeping in the street. Maybe by cleaning this lamp those people can see their way while they find a place to sleep at the court house for the night = El Hotel No-Jardin in Brownsville. What a shame but Tony Martinez is building a dance studio a block away. Maybe these homeless people will be afforded some dance lessons.
