Chapter 3 - The Adirondack Town Of Bloomingdale, New York

I'd arrived at the very center of little Bloomingdale, and discovered that it wasn't quite as "little" as I'd thought it was. That fire hydrant indicated town water and there were more homes, churches and businesses than I would have guessed. I particularly liked the leftover Christmas decorations on this home and felt grateful that they'd left them up because they added such joyful color to the snowy scene:

At the main intersection was this large building with a marquee. I immediately thought it must be a movie house, but that door and windows belied that idea:

When I turned the corner, I discovered Norman's General Store and a front entrance which might once have been for a movie theater. I wish I'd gone in to explore the store, but that will be an adventure for another day:

Across from the store was this impressive town hall:

It said it was built in 1903 and the sign out front announced town hall meetings:

There was a Methodist church:

And a wonderfully colored home with Christmas decorations which matched nicely:

A town style home with Adirondack adornments on its enclosed porch:

And a small home with classic, old style front porch and a modern satellite dish:

This home sat up so close to the road that I had trouble getting it all into the picture:

And an old Victorian which reminded me very much of my grandmother's house:

A smaller home with fewer modern updates - except, of course, for the satellite dish. Bloomingdale had surprised and delighted me. I was on my way out of town at this point, but there's still one more Bloomingdale post for tomorrow:
