Directions and Parking

From I-15 take Exit 93 for Blackfoot (US 26) and come east on Bridge St. approx. 1 1/2 mi. Past the railroad tracks turn left at the light by the old Co-op elevator, go 2 blocks north and turn left on W. Pacific. The Hanson Bldg. is on the north side, red brick, 2 story, built 1911. Crandall Dental and Mickelsen Insurance are on the ground floor and PGAW is painted on the upstairs window.

Parking - Don't park on Pacific. Those are 2 hour spaces and the city does ticket. Ted Lindquist got a $10 ticket out there during the Sept. 14 board meeting. We have 4 spaces in the gravel lot behind the building. Dale talked to the Methodist church across the alley and members can use their lot the morning of the Nov. 16 board meeting.
