PUBLIC TRANSIT: 77 Bus - Harvard Sq./Arlington Heights. This connects
to the Red line at both Harvard & Porter squares. Take the 77 to the
first stop in Arlington. This is right after a major intersection
(Alewife Brook Parkway-Rt. 16) with a traffic light & a Mobile station
on the left. Press the stop request buzzer when you pass the Mobile
Station. You'll see a sign in the middle of the street saying "Welcome
to Arlington", the stop is just after that in front of the Homewood
Suites Hotel. (If you miss the stop, the next stop is only 1 1/2
blocks down.) Continue walking in the direction the bus was going and

Ave.). We are the last house on the left.
88 Bus - Lechmere/Claredon Hill or 89 Bus Sullivan Station/Claredon Hill

route. The buses run frequently on weekdays between 7am & 7pm and not
at all on Sunday evenings. Follow the "exit to buses" signs to the
bus bays. Take the bus to the first stop, which comes immediately
after the Bus makes a left turn onto Massachusetts Ave. Both both

blocks down.) Continue walking in the direction the bus was going and

Redline - Alewife and walk. The house is a 10-15 minute walk from
Alewife. Exit the station through the main entrance (the one that also
leads to the Buses). Go through the exit doors to the station and go
straight ahead up the stairs or ramp. When you reach the street, turn
right and walk to the corner. There is a cross walk that takes you
across the street to the bike path. Cross the street and follow the
bike path or the sidewalk (which rejoins the bike bath shortly) and go
through the highway underpass. After the underpass, you'll pass a
wetlands on your right and then see several concrete barriers. Turn
right at the concrete barriers. That puts you on Thorndike street,
which starts out as dirt and then becomes paved. Follow Thorndike
street to the traffic light (Massachusetts Ave). Cross Mass Ave. Turn
right. Go one block and make a left on Henderson. Take the first right
(Cottage Ave.). We are the last house on the left.
