Hey everyone,

As promised, here are the directions to the new place:

Take 128 to Exit 34 (Winn Street). Stay on Winn Street for a while, past a plaza with a pool hall and Annie's Yogurt and Lobster Shack.

At the second light, take a right and an immediate left (following the signs for Rte 38, around the triangular island), then right again. You're now headed in the same direction you were before, but you're on Main Street (or you will be shortly). Follow Main Street across the town line, then look for a sketchy video rental place coming up on the left. On the right across from the video store is our street, Hemingway. If you start seeing lots of insurance agencies, you've gone too far.

Take a sharp right onto Hemingway. We're about halfway down on the right, a light blue house with a screened-in porch. Our driveway is the one with the black Jeep and the blue VW bug -- park behind us if there's room, or on the street in front.

That's it. Call us if you get lost, and we'll try to help. See you all then,

-J+B

----- Original message -----

WHAT: Friends, pizza, beer, and whatever -- in short, housewarming!
WHERE: Brian and Jo's, 42 Hemingway Street (directions to follow)
WHEN: August 12 starting at 7:00

We'll have some movies and Brian's famous Box of Games (if we can find where we packed it). Please don't bring anything but yourselves unless you want to bring a bag of chips or some soda -- we're still trying to find places to put all our stuff.

Hope to see you all then!

Hi Mom,

Sorry this is so late. We've been so busy unpacking and settling in to the new place. Here are the directions to get here:

Take I-95 up to Mass. like before. Instead of getting off at Exit 18, keep going. When you pass the large exit for the Middlesex Turnpike, get in the right lane. Take Exit 34 (the sign says Winn Street) and follow that until you get to a traffic light at an intersection with a large triangular island in the middle, a church on the right, and a bank ahead of you. Go around the island, taking a right and then a sharp left so you pass in front of the bank, then a right again onto Main Street.

Keep going on Main Street for a little over a mile. There'll be a sign pointing to an elementary school on the right. One block after that is our street. Take a right onto Hemingway and we're about halfway down the block, number 42. There's a mailbox with our names on it out front.

I'll be home all day Saturday, so call me if you get lost. Brian and I can't wait to see you!

Love,
Jo

Ladies,

Looking forward to hosting the inaugural meeting of our book club this Thursday. For those of you who haven't been here before, I've attached directions. Any questions, feel free to email or call.

See you all Thursday!

FROM RTE 128 AND BEYOND:
Take Exit 34 (Winn Street). Stay on Winn Street for a while; you'll pass a plaza with a pool hall and Stromboli's Pizza on the right.

At the second light, take a right and an immediate left around the triangular island, then right again onto Main Street. Follow Main Street for about a mile and a half. Shortly after the town line there will be a used book store on the left; Hemingway Street is directly across from it on the right.

Take a sharp right onto Hemingway. My house is #42, about halfway down on the right with the blue VW in the driveway.

FROM TOWN:
Take Mass Ave to Arlington. At the intersection with the funky clock tower, take a right on to Rte 60/3N. Keep following the signs for Rte 3 through a couple of lights. At the third light, take a right onto Church Street. Keep going straight until you reach the town center. Go 3/4 of the way around the rotary and under the railroad bridge. You'll end up on Main Street, with gas stations on either side. Watch out near the intersection with the Star Market, where there's usually a cop waiting to catch all the people running the light.

About a mile down the road, just past a Chinese take-out and a sandwich shop, you'll see Hemingway Street on the left. Take a wide left (both streets on the left are Hemingway, but it's a one-way loop) and it's the blue house, #42, halfway down on the right.

Hi Mark,

Wednesday sounds good to me. Do you know the Peet's on Mass Ave in Lexington? If not, you can get a map or directions on their website I think. I can be there at six or a little after. I'll be wearing a red dress.

Looking forward to meeting you,
-Jo

Hey Mark,

How do you feel about going to Ashland this Saturday? A friend of mine's in a band and they're going to be playing in a bar out there. It's a bit of a hike, but I'm told the food is good, and I've got directions, if you want to ride with me.

Let me know?
