The correct address is 701 4th Street South and the building faces 4th Street but the parking is in back. So - from 4th Street turn right onto 8th Avenue South. Then turn into the first parking lot on the right and drive through it to the second parking lot and park there. This is the lot closest to the Education & Conference Center. |
