Court St Between Joralemon St and Tillary St

   

To be fair, today's segment isn't entirely Court Street. Right after passing Montague St, the lane opens up and becomes Cadman Plaza West, but that name sucks so I'm sticking with Court Street.

With Columbus Park and the Korean War Veterans Plaza filling the east side of the block (which, if you look at it on a map, sort-of resembles the cutaway of an airfoil), only a handful of government buildings interrupt the open space. The west side of the street is a rather standard assortment of office buildings and stores.

I was a bit taken aback by how many dead leaves were on the grass at this time of year. If it were almost any other season I could possibly understand it, but for these dead leaves to remain they would have had to stayed here for nearly 10 months. Even a really windy day could have taken care of this. But no, instead you're left with a scene that looks like mid-November instead of early July.
