It’s a beautiful day today for a Thursday and I am escaping for a while. I have an Accessible Elections committee meeting in an hour over at the Poor People’s Law Complex(PPLC). We usually have the meeting at the State capitol but since we are in the middle of the State Legislature we are at the PPLC. The PPLC houses numerous private non-profits purporting to server “UNDERSERVED”. These offices used to be hovels, located in broken or rundown buildings in the heart of this fair city. I am sure this was designed to make the clients feel “at home”. Young attorneys who still believed in their dream , ‘the law was for everyone’ and old sages who know better but still love look the part of the liberal, fighting attorney for every man(person).
In our community a couple of years ago the different groups got together wrote a few grants found this great property downtown…knocked down some walls and exposed others found some hardwood floors and they all moved in together. The place looks great very “Ally McBeal”. The porches and station wagons can park right next to each other and it all looks good and the building is just two blocks away from the train station. The different law offices in the building share libraries, copy machines and general staff support and I understand NPR is piped into the bathrooms and other common areas.
I am back and though the day is beautiful the day is still cold. The meeting was short—as far as state type meeting go; less then an hour. I took some images of the building for the blog and then stopped at the mall in route back to the office. Good old Taco Time and the large soft shell taco and then back to work. Any way here are some images from my trip this morning.
