The right hand turn is prior to the traffic signal ahead. The parking lot is diagonally across from WBZ and almost directly across from the Days Inn.

  From the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90 East or West)Take the Allston/Cambridge exit; head in the Cambridge direction. Stop at the Doubletree Guest Suites traffic light. Just after the next traffic light 20 yards ahead and before crossing the River Street Bridge (which spans the Charles River) turn left onto the service road which parallels Storrow Drive (on the left) and the river (on the right). Follow the signs for 'Newton/Arlington'. Go through the Western Avenue Traffic light 2/10 mile ahead.
