Skowhegan....

...Maine, is a shoe making town, and more,
looking for a bakery in a former jail? You score.
Just about where the bottom of the picture above is..
..there's a foot bridge across the Kennebec forces.

This is the hometown of Margaret Chase Smith,
the first woman nominated for President by a major party, but missed.
It's also the home of the Skowhegan State Fair,
put those together, and you've got quite a pair.
Top: One of the New Balance mills, US Route 2 crosses the bridge.
Middle(1): The Library, built as a Civil War Memorial, all oak interior.
Middle(2): Workers assemble New Balance Shoes.
Bottom: Skowhegan from the air.
