I love learning the truths behind TV portrayals, like the fact that criminal cases aren't tried in this building. I enjoy pointing things like this out in anything shot in Chicago. Like when someone parks their car directly in front of a building downtown, or anywhere in Chicago, really. If there's legal street parking, the street will not be free of cars. The city recently shut down some streets in my neighborhood for shooting of Chicago Fire. Maybe I should watch the show to find inconsistencies...

I can see why this Court is used so much, it's everything you think a Courthouse should be. It's a situation that reminds me of the R.C. Harris Filtration Plant (which is an imposing building complex outside of Toronto) that appears in a bunch of tv series and some movies (especially Canadian ones) because of it's impressive architecture.graverobbergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863800265600683329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-23481684824078703932013-05-12T01:55:16.154-04:002013-05-12T01:55:16.154-04:00I never thought about it before but now I can pict...I never thought about it before but now I can picture loads of conversations in films and TV programmes taking place on those steps.
