Directions
The best
directions to Park Hall, for those not familiar with Athens' layout, are those
for the Miller Learning Center. However,
don't follow their parking instructions. At the corner of Baxter and Lumpkin
(which can be seen by zooming in on the inset Google map on the above link),
turn east on Baxter. Take the first right onto Hull Street. Hull Street will
not go straight through, as shown on the map; where it dead ends, you can
either turn left into a parking deck or right into an open lot, W02. Neither of
those lots requires a pass on the weekend. After you've parked, please walk up
lot W02 toward Lumpkin Street. You can cross Lumpkin at the corner with Baldwin
Street, then proceed down Baldwin to the second building, which is Park Hall,
where we'll be meeting. Park has several entrances, and the large glass doors
on the ground level, facing Baldwin, should be open. You'll come in and see an
elevator lobby to your left; come on up to the 2nd floor and follow the signs
to the far end of the long hall.
For lunch,
it'll be easiest simply to walk the 5 minutes to downtown where there are a
solid half-dozen options for tasty, reasonable, and reasonably fast food.
Afterwards,
stay and talk back downtown to a popular pub for some convivitas et garrulitas
(unless the Latinists can come up with a better name!)
