FROM POINTS SOUTH ON ROUTE I-93:
Take the Sullivan Square exit, which is past the Cambridge/Somerville exit. At bottom of ramp, turn left. Pass Cobble Hill Shopping Center on your left. When you dip under a railroad bridge, start signalling left. Turn left IMMEDIATELY after the railroad bridge, BEFORE the auto parts store on your left. This is Joy St. Go all the way down it.

You may park anywhere along either side of Joy Street, but not in the painted parking lot (those are reserved). Brickbottom Artists Building is a cream-colored warehouse with a teal-colored stripe at the end of Joy St. At the front door, dial 0158 on the silver telephone. I can buzz you in.

FROM POINTS NORTH ON ROUTE I-93:
Take 93 S to Rte. 28 S (McGrath Highway). At the Washington St. exit, take a left onto Washington St. Be careful; this intersection is a bit confusing. Make sure that as you turn left, you are in the right-most lane of Washington St. Go past auto parts store on your right, and just after that is Joy Street on the right (BEFORE the railroad overpass). Turn right onto Joy Street and drive all the way to the end. That is my building, the Brickbottom Artists Building, a cream-colored warehouse with an aqua stripe. You may park anywhere along either side of Joy Street, but not in the painted parking lot (those are reserved). Dial 0158 on the silver telephone inside the front door to reach me.

FROM CAMBRIDGE (HARVARD SQ. AREA):
Take Kirkland St., crossing Beacon St., it becomes Washington St., Somerville. Continue straight through Union Sq. (big church on right). You are now on Somerville Ave. At the end of Somerville Ave. by Target, there is a ramp going up to Rte. 28. Do not go up the ramp, but rather go to the right slightly, and it will take you UNDER the ramp, past Pat's Tow Yard. You will emerge from under the ramp and see Brickbottom, a cream-colored warehouse with an aqua-colored stripe at the end of Joy St. You may park anywhere along either side of Joy Street, but not in the painted parking lot (those are reserved). At the front door, dial #0158 on the silver telephone. I can buzz you in.


BY SUBWAY:
Take the green line to Lechmere. The train will put you out onto the highway. Turn left, away from Boston. Walk up the right side of the highway (Rte. 28N) away from Boston. On the overpass just after Sav-Mor Liquors, and beyond the railroad tracks, take the second staircase down; you will see Brickbottom on your right, a cream-colored warehouse with an aqua stripe. At the front door, dial #0158 on the silver telephone. I can buzz you in.

BY BUS:
From Harvard or Inman Square: The 69 bus goes from Harvard Square (on Mass. Ave. across from Holyoke Center, Au Bon Pain) to Lechmere via Cambridge Street and Inman Square. You can go all the way to Lechmere and follow the directions above ("BY SUBWAY"); or you can disembark at Sixth St. and go left on Sixth to Twin City Shopping Plaza. Walk across the plaza to Rte. 28, cross 28, go up the big overpass to the left of Sav-Mor Liquors, and descend the leftmost staircase to our parking lot. You will see Brickbottom on your right, a cream-colored warehouse with an aqua stripe. At the front door, dial #0158 on the silver telephone. I can buzz you in.

From Davis or Porter Square: The 87 and 88 buses go from Davis (in front of the Somerville Theater) to Lechmere; the 87 goes through Porter Square on the Elm St. side of Star Market. The 88 bus goes via Highland Avenue. Take either bus through Union Square, all the way down Somerville Avenue and disembark just after Target, in front of the Glass Stop. Walk beside, then UNDER the Rte. 28 ramp, past Pat's Tow Yard. You will emerge from under the ramp and see Brickbottom, a cream-colored warehouse with an aqua-colored stripe at the end of Joy St. At the front door, dial #0158 on the silver telephone.
