Location Changed!
Due to the Great Race the location has been changed to the lower Frick Park Parking Lot.
Directions: take S. Braddock Ave to Regent Square and turn at the red light on Hutchinson, (turn away from/opposite the GetGo on Hutchinson). At Lancaster Ave turn right onto Frick Ln and drive down to the parking lot.
If you need an address to put into GPS use 1045 Lancaster Ave. as the parking lot doesn't have an address. 1045 is the house on the corner. When you've arrived that house will be on your right, turn onto Frick Ln (unmarked, but there is a wooden sign saying Frick Park opposite 1045 Lancaster) and follow that road down to the parking lot.
