[NoVa-Corvairs] Frozen Engine --MORE

[Daniel Goldberg]

For those of you taking 66 East:

-66 East to Route 110 (South -- you can't go in any
other direction; it's the very last exit before the
Roosevelt Bridge)

-110 south past the Pentagon

-110 south turns into Jefferson Davis Hwy (Route 1)

-Make a right at S. 23rd Street (landmark: Exxon
station)

-Continue down S. 23rd street; take note that cross
streets are in alphabetical order

-Make a right on S. Ives

-Make a left on S. 21

-My house number 1s 911 -- it's an off-white house on
the right, first house from the corner.

best,
daniel
