Event Details:
Directions:
take the Washington Beltway exit 25b for Route 1 South towards College
Park
Maryland ( Baltimore Boulevard ).
to get to campus and the jugglers gym from the beltway exit, stay on
route 1
for about two miles, and make the first right past jerry's sub shop (
which is
on the right ) onto Campus Drive. At the traffic Circle with the flowerey 'M'
make the first right onto regents drive. At the second stop sign, make a
left, then make the first right, the gym is in the Health and Human
Performance ( HHP ) Building on the right as the road bends left.
to get to the director's house from the beltway exit, about 1.5 miles along
route 1 south, past the car dealerships on the right, make a right onto an
exit like ramp to get onto 193 West, University Boulevard. from University
Blvd, make a right at the first right onto Metzerott Road. from Metzerott,
make a right at the first light onto Saint Andrews Place. then make the
first
right onto Duke Place, then the first left onto Drake. The house number
is
9106 and it's on the left. Please park with consideration, and make sure
the
curb is on your cars right side- College Park will ticket vehicles parked
facing the wrong way on any street.
to get to the washington beltway, route 495. coming from the northeast,
take
95 south. from the northwest take 70 east/southeast to 270 south, from
straight north, take 83 south to 695 to 95 to 495, from the east or west
take
route 50, if 95 or 70 won't work.
from 95 north of baltimore, as you near 495, the beltway splits in two-
the
right lanes head towards the north side of the beltway, the left two lanes
continue as 95 south on the south side of the beltway. you will want to
take
the RIGHT LANES.
take the left-most RIGHT LANE- as the four lanes split, a left hand exit
will
open up from the right two lanes for Route 1 South to College Park.
Take this
exit to get on route 1.
from anywhere else, just look for exit 25b, route 1 south, from 495. It is a
shorter route from all northern points ( including 50 east and 495) to
take
the north and east sides of the beltway, though if its rush hour, the
quickest
routes are inexplcable and probably through the city. if you are driving in
on 95 north, flip a coin, but pay attention to traffic reports. the beltway
can get real ugly.
