Some people think these cute little parks outside of old Court Houses were always there. Unfortunately, those cute little parks have a much darker past. They were the areas for Justice to be served. The punishment was a hanging and so they were known as hanging squares.
Many countries have their own corpal punishment for severe crimes. Some had firing squads, be-headings. With all these crimes going global. It will become fashionable for hanging squares to come back. All I can say is hang on for the ride. It's going to be a good one.
