Detailed Directions:
From: John Speier
Date: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 11:37 PM
Josh added text to his map, but to save a mile or two take 'H'
Ave. to Gull. In full, that will be for our Eastern Greens:
Take the first Kalamazoo exit off of I-94 westbound which is
Business Loop 94. The second light will be Sprinkle Rd, turn
Right -North on Sprinkle.
You will go several miles. The light after East Main will be H
Ave. Turn left - West on 'H' Ave. You will run into Gull Rd.
Turn left - SouthWest on Gull. You will go about a mile. Just
past Nazareth Rd. you will see the Nazareth complex on your
right. Turn right into the complex.
We will be using the Kalamazoo County building which I am told is
straight across from the Borgess Health facility. It is a big
building and won't be hard to find. We will get signs up to
assure everyone they are in the right place.
Anyone coming to Kalamazoo from the North, West or South should
probably just get on I-94 East to the Sprinkle Rd exit and head
North. Directions going through town are more complex and not
worth the effort.
I will carry my cell Saturday AM so please encourage everyone to
call me if they need assistance - 616-217-7657.
