#137 - Preservation In Progress - featuring Judge JD Clark
Description
Drink of the week: Larceny Bourbon - Barrel Proof; We like our bourbon like we like our Judges!
The Whiskey Bros get historical—like, 1895 courthouse historical. We sit down with Wise County Judge, JD Clark, who somehow still has energy after wrangling the restoration of the Wise County Courthouse, now shining in all its granite-and-copper glory.
Between sips of barrel-proof Larceny, we climb the spiral stairs, ring a 130-year-old bell, and debate whether the courthouse qualifies as a castle (spoiler: the kids are right, it does). There’s laughter, a few architectural tangents, and maybe one too many jokes about bird poop and government drones—but beneath the whiskey haze is genuine civic pride.
This one matters. The courthouse isn’t just a building—it’s a living symbol of craftsmanship, community, and the kind of Texas history that deserves more than a passing glance. Our hope is that this episode gets folks out to see it, admire it, and remember that local heritage still has heartbeat—and a bell that rings on the hour.
