around to the far corner of the Old Post Office Pavilion to enter

the second level in the central atrium.
Driving:
from the west via I-395. Drive northeast on I-395, crossing the

river, exit I-395 to the left, following signs for US-1 (Downtown).

right corner of this intersection. If you have not found a legal
place to park on the street, turn left at the 3rd traffic signal
to head north on 12th Street for 1-1/2 blocks. The entrance to a
commercial parking ramp is on the left side of 12th Street between
