Wow, nice pix, is that city hall or a court or something?

Greenburg looks nice. You can definitely tell from the architecture that it's Western Pennsylvania.

That court house or whatever is a pretty nice building for such a small city.

That building is incredible.... what is it for? It seems huge and important for such a small town. Looks like the city hall you'd expect in a 500,000+ city.

It's the Westmoreland county courthouse, and truly a gem. The downtown sits atop a hill and the courthouse dome is visible from much of the city. Westmoreland has about 380,000 people, and is close to Pittsburgh. There's a great old train station downtown. One of my favorite small cities in PA. Great job hero, thanks.

As is usual in the ridiculously fragmented state of Pennsylvania... the city population is nowhere close to the true population of Greensburg... the township surrounding tiny Greensburg has 45,000 people.

Oh.... still, VERY impressive for a relatively small area!
