October 3, 200717 yr Great courthouse. The town looks pretty typical for a midwestern small town, fairly tidy and not too lively.
October 3, 200717 yr i dont get you, whats the waste? it looks real good. i love the municipal building too. it looks quiet around there, but nuthin wrong with that.
October 4, 200717 yr It is a nice enough town, but there isn't much else but the courthouse. Seems like Urbana, Ravenna, Gallipolis, etc. would be a more fitting home, but we can't change that... I find Somerset (the seat of Perry County up to 1857) much more interesting.
October 4, 200717 yr New Lexington is one of the worst Southeast/Central Ohio county seats. Though I like the IDEA of it being placed on a hilltop and their courthouse is wonderful. Honestly, Somerset should've kept the county seat. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 4, 200717 yr wow thats harsh. we didnt see awful here, so what makes it one of the worst? is it otherwise boarded up and falling apart or something?
October 4, 200717 yr It depends what you like. A Cilv War hero (Somerset-Sheridan) or the liberator of Bulgaria (MacGahan-New Lexington). Admittedly, I do like Somerset more.
October 4, 200717 yr Agree with the premise that the Courthouse outclasses every other New Lex structure. But I also agree with Grasscat's comment. Perry County kind of struggles. New Lexington is lucky to even look this good. Except that Perry County doesn't "kind of" struggle - it STRUGGLES! What is Perry's unemployment rate now, 10% to 15%?
October 4, 200717 yr wow thats harsh. we didnt see awful here, so what makes it one of the worst? is it otherwise boarded up and falling apart or something? I think this is a good response; like I said, there just isn't much to New Lexington: NewLex is a bit of a snoozer as compared to its neighbors.
October 4, 200717 yr wow thats harsh. we didnt see awful here, so what makes it one of the worst? is it otherwise boarded up and falling apart or something? The downtown is a snooze, the residential lacks compared to Somerset, too much "negative space," and a feeling of Silent Hill.
