There are three flagpoles behind the slabs, which today at half mast had the US flag, the North Carolina state flag and the POW-MIA flag. The center slab reads, "They stood in the unbroken line of patriots who lived to bear their country's arms. They died to save its honor and keep aglow the flaming torch of freedom." The slabs list all of those from Randolph County killed in action. [Review 13936 overall, 1258 of 2020, number 2579 in North Carolina.]

In downtown Winston-Salem, the current Forsyth County Courthouse doesn't try to charm you with…read moreornate flourishes as much as it asserts itself with the clean, modern lines of a government building built for heavy daily use. The present courthouse, completed between 2020 and 2023 is a six-story brick, concrete and glass structure with a flat roofline and a two story steel and glass porch on its west front. Inside, it holds 17 courtrooms and 3 hearing rooms, all arranged along escalators and public elevators that make the building feel more like a contemporary civic center than a traditional courthouse. What makes this site interesting is how it sits in a long lineage of Forsyth County courthouses. The previous courthouse, completed in 1976 and known as the Forsyth County Hall of Justice is still standing, as is the even earlier 1897 courthouse that was remodeled in 1926/1927 and later converted into apartments. Forsyth County itself was formed in 1849 from part of Stokes County and named for Colonel Benjamin Forsyth, a War of 1812 officer who was mortally wounded in battle. The courthouse sits in the middle of city shaped by a unique civil merger. Winston and Salem began as separate towns, one a Moravian settlement dating to 1766 and the other established in 1849. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1879, the two communities finally voted to consolidate in 1913, creating Winston-Salem and setting the stage for the city's rapid twentieth century growth. The building is easy to visit and photograph though parking in downtown during the week can be a challenge. And note that cell phones are not permitted inside the building, not even in the lobby. On a Saturday morning, it was easy enough to find a spot and walk around the site easily.

The single most difficult and uncooperative county government I've ever worked with! The Estates…read moreDivision will not answer your legitimate questions BEFORE you file an estate and is constantly looking for the smallest incidental reason to reject a filing once you present it. They require very specific language in a filing that is not required by other North Carolina Clerks. So you will make a filing, it will be rejected for knit-picking reasons by one employee, you will address all of THAT person's concerns, then it will be rejected by another employee for different knit-picking reasons. Mind you, I've been filing estates for 20 years so I know how to open an estate. According to someone who works on a daily basis with the Cumberland Clerk's office, NOTHING ever goes right with this place. Mostly due to their eccentric lack of helpfulness and their obscure make-it-up-as-you-go "requirements." They also have the weirdest phone system: ALL calls are directed to the phone of a single woman who rarely answers her phone and "forgets" to relay your messages to the staff. If she transfers you to the phone of one of the deputy clerks, they NEVER return your calls. So you have to call several times to break through the wall. IF at all. I guess there is not enough going on in Fayetteville so they entertain themselves by rejecting filings and tripling your time the expenses incurred in filing a document. Hostile and passive aggressive. They forget they are affecting the very real lives of the grieving and making the experience worse.

With everything going on in the world and people losing faith in our justice system my experience today gave me a little faith in humanity. Judge Pendergrass is the kindest, most disarming and fair judge I have ever seen, onscreen or off. Many in the room were nervous, tense before walking up to the podium. Even if they were handed heavy fines or judgement, they walked away relieved. He speaks to everyone with kindness and asks about their lives. One man had a one year old son and he talked to him about how exciting it must be sharing their first Christmas. He gave him extra time to pay off his ticket so he could get something nice for his son. At a stressful moment in everyone's lives, the demeanor of this judge is hopeful and heartwarming. Thanks for reinstalling some faith in our justice system. Judge Pendergrass truly is honorable.

It was a slightly drizzly Friday evening in Mocksville and the town had that low-key hum where a…read morefew people were ducking in and out of the shops and restaurants. The sidewalks felt open enough that I could wander around the Davie County Courthouse without anyone getting in my way. The soft light worked in my favor as the building's pale brick and classical detailing stood out cleanly, and I was able to photograph it without a single car or person drifting into the frame. The courthouse is a block from the very center of town and has that solid twentieth-century civic look, the kind of place build to project order and permanence. David County was formed in 1836, carved out of the western portion of Rowan County and it was named for William Richardson Davie, Revolutionary War officer, North Carolina governor and one of the state's most influential early political figures. Mocksville, the county seat from the beginning, takes its name from the Mock family, early settlers who owned land in the area long before the courthouse took shape. This current courthouse dates to 1909, a restrained Classical Revival design with brick walls, stone trim and a symmetrical facade that still reads as dignified more than a century later. Later additions expanded the footprint but the original brick remains the visual anchor. Walking the perimeter in the drizzle, you can see how the building as been adapted over time, but the core still carries that early-1900s courthouse personality. Tall windows, a centered entrance, and just enough ornamentation to remind you that this was meant to be the county's more important public building. it has handled the steady, everyday legal life of Davie County for generations, which in its own way makes it a satisfying stop if you like courthouse architecture and Mocksville makes it easy to linger a bit longer than you planned.
