Directions to the Press Room From Points Nawth!
Please be advised to get there between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. in order to find a seat. The session lasts until around 9 p.m. It's in the back of the room in a usually crowded pub and situated in between the kitchen and the waitresses who are trying valiantly to save everyone from dying of thirst.
The address is 77 Daniel Street and it is located between the Piscataqua River (and the bridge to Maine) and Market Square, the heart of downtown. It's across the street from the Post Office/Federal Building. Daniel St. (which becomes Congress St. which becomes Islington St. in not too many blocks) is one way, as is State St. and Congress St. Parking either involves going around in circles for awhile looking for an available spot or taking a berth at the Parking Garage (3 blocks away). The phone number is 431-5186.
Oh, Daniel St. is Rte 1 south and State St. is Rte 1 north, if that helps clarify anything.
Jeri posted these directions from Yahoo Maps:
Take exit number 7, towards PORTSMOUTH/NEWINGTON. (0.2 miles)
Turn LEFT onto MARKET ST. (0.2 miles)
MARKET ST becomes MARKET ST. 0.7 miles)
You'll come to a stop sign. Right after the stop, turn LEFT onto BOW ST. (0.1 miles)
Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto CHAPEL ST. (0.1 miles)
Turn RIGHT onto DANIEL ST.
Parking Polka:
Despite our political predilections, 'Mudge and I usually do the right hand turn loop: Daniel St. South, right on Penhallow, right on Bow, right on Chapel, right again on Daniel Street.
OR you can do left hand turns: Daniel St. South, through Market Square, left on the alley between the church and Eagle Photo, through next cross street, left on State St. next to the old Custom House, State St. to just before the bridge to Maine, left over to Daniel St. south and start over again.
Does any of this make sense?
Those of you who have been before will have a better idea.
Hope this turns into the Second Great Mudcat Convergence at the Press Room!!! (See the pictures from the First Great Mudcat Convergence at Events Photos -- Press Room, Portsmouth, NH, Friday, July 27, 2001)
