Directions to Lively

Direction to Lively
We are in building 4.  This is a one-story building.  If you are coming from Tennessee Ave make a left on Appleyard Drive.  Take your first entrance on the right coming into Lively.  Follow the yellow line.  You will pass two gates. The first gate is a guardhouse and nobody’s in it.  After the second gate you will see Building 4.  Make a left and then your first right, which is a one-way street. Go through it, it’s OK.  I am in the middle of this long Building 4.  My door will be open.  My office phone is 467-7439 or 545-5950.  I’ll see you on Thursday.  aj
