Boston area TFL Meet Up - Parking
Meeting room location: The main entrance to Cary Library is on Mass Ave. A rear entrance is down a level, behind the building. Our meeting room is on the lower level, to the left as you walk in the rear entrance.
Parking : The small lot behind Cary Library is often full on Saturdays. There are a couple 15 minute parking spaces right next to the lower level entrance, where you can stop to drop off your stuff, and then find longer term parking. Two public lots in Lexington Center are within a block or two of the library. There is also on street parking. All of this is metered at 25c per hour, quarters only - two hours max. Meters can be refilled after the two hours are up. You can also park on street in the residential neighborhoods behind the library with no meters. Any questions, please let me know.
A local reporter and/or photographer from the Lexington Minuteman may stop by sometime in the afternoon. See you tomorrow.

The list of attendees keeps shifting as some are unable to come and others decide they can. Sorry that some who had hoped to attend will be unable to do so. It looks like we'll have around 15 people attending, give or take last minutes changes. It's almost time to start baking.
Just to get us geared up for our get-together Yozza sent me this link to an earlier TFL real life meet-up [1]. Of course ours won't involve a WFO or baking 28 loaves of bread at a time, but it will still be epic!

If you want to come but have an issue with getting there, also let me know. Other issues?
