Update: the fate of the Orange County Government Center

And now for something completely different.  Last month I posted about seemingly irreversible plans to demolish an icon of modernist architecture, Paul Rudolph's Orange County (NY) Government Center.  Yesterday came news of a lawsuit seeking to block the demolition.  These cases rarely succeed, but maybe the lawsuit at least will keep the spotlight on the county and its strangely bullheaded determination to tear down what many consider a masterpiece.  Where there's life (or concrete), there's hope.
