40 Days, 40 Churches
Day 26, First Congregational Church, Hadley MA
This, and the Farm Museum, dominate the downtown of Hadley, where the wife and I had occasion to stay on Saturday after watching the Icedogs lose a 5-1 debacle to UMass. Not surprisingly, the part of Hadley closer to the UMass campus is more built up, between the hotels and the Hampshire Mall.
This was our second trip to UMass for a game, and while I didn't notice it then, this most recent trip suggests that the Mullins Center may be the most techno-friendly arena in all of college hockey. They should really look at putting in some black lights and selling glow sticks at the concession stands.
We also got to stay in a Howard Johnson Express (according to the website, though it's not signposted as such), which is right across the street from the Holiday Inn Express. We like the latter better than the former, but not an extra $50 better. Still, I don't think we'd go back. Even the EconoLogde looks to be in better shape than the HoJo Express, which says something.
