The parking lot was full, cars were parked all along Oak St. My father and I actually parked at the Oak Street School parking lot and walked back to the Senior Center for our visit.

One of the facility workers was chuckling that "they" had planned for about 200 folks to show up. This was busier than the high school field house during voting on Tuesday.

off the main entrance area to the right and toward the front of the building this meeting room looks out to the parking lot and Oak Street.

across the hall there is a good size exercise room. it was being occupied by a rehearsal (or peformance?) of some 30 or so members of a chorus

off the center hall in the rear of the Senior Center is this nice conference room.
