    Directions from I-787 (show map):

    • Take Exit 7E onto Route 378 East. Get into the leftmost lane as you cross the bridge. Hug the double yellow lines in the center of the road through two traffic lights.
    • At the third traffic light, turn left onto Main Street. Continue over the railroad tracks and past the concrete wall.
    • Turn right onto East Industrial Parkway. After passing the concrete wall, turn right into our parking lot (the one with the big ladle car in the middle of it). The front door faces the railroad tracks.
