To 2565 Third Street from the East Bay

(These directions sound complicated, but they’re really not. Mileage and number of blocks are approximate.)

• By the time you get to the western edge of the Bay Bridge, position yourself in the left-hand lane.
  
• Take the Fifth Street exit, which is the second left exit.
  
• Stay in the left lane, and at the bottom of the ramp make a sharp left turn (almost a U-turn) onto Fifth Street.
  
• Go .4 miles, 3+ blocks on Fifth Street until you come to a T-intersection with Townsend. The railroad tracks are across the street in front of you.
  
• Turn right on Townsend, and go 2 long blocks, .3 miles, past the Academy of Art on your right and along the tracks on your left, until you get to Seventh Street.
  
• Turn left on Seventh Street. Go 4-6 blocks (depending on how you count them), half a mile, to Sixteenth Street.
  
• Turn left on Sixteenth Street, going under the freeway and over the tracks.
  
• Go .25 miles on Sixteenth Street, and turn right at the third light onto Third Street.
  
• A little over half a mile along Third Street, you will see a big gray building on the left called American Industrial Center. The 2565 door is about in the middle of this building, between 22nd and 23rd Streets.
  
• If you have trouble finding parking on Third Street (there are strange restrictions), try Illinois Street, which is parallel to Third Street and one block to your left (East). Also, there is parking on 22nd and 23rd running a block further east from Illinois.
  
  
• You can also take BART and take the Muni light rail T-Third line, and get off at 23rd Street.

The Graphic Arts Workshop is in the historic Dogpatch neighborhood. We’re half a block from a nice restaurant (Serpentine), the Dogpatch Saloon, and the Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous ice cream parlor. The Hard Knox Café, for hearty southern-type food, is across the street. There are various other cafes and watering holes nearby. And if all that isn’t enough for you, there’s also a boxing gym across the street.
