A glorious day to be traveling beside the Kennebec River, heading to Hallowell!
Hall-Dale represents the 2 communities of Hallowell and Farmingdale, making for a small school community, consisting of 1 school at each level. This is the Elementary School, which is brand new and sits on a hill overlooking the hills/valleys. The next time you are on your way to Augusta look to your right just south of the Augusta exit and you will see the back of the building. For months, I have been wondering just what this building was!
Today I met with the Administrative group and worked with the special education staff as part of their Phase One training.
Yeah Slates!
I didn't realize that while the renovations are going on with the building, Slates bakery has continued to be open, is serving great soups and sandwiches; and of course, a wide sampling of pastries and goodies. There are even places to sit to eat.
Don't make the mistake of bypassing Hallowell thinking that they're not open!
Not a great picture but hopefully reflects some of the wonderful buildings in Hallowell. Even in winter, the Kennebec provides a great backdrop to the town.
Despite being the middle of the day, Hallowell feels like a vibrant community. I will make a point of stopping by on my way home some day when the snow is gone to further explore the many shops.......

Mike and I lived in West Gardiner before we moved to Gorham. Slates was a favorite restaurant. Glad they are still up and running!
