If it's raining I say we plan to meet at the parking garage. See my new expanded map.
OPTION 1 NO RAIN:
Plan to gather at the Home Depot on Speen Street. This is right around the corner from the park and is highly visible from both directions.
From I90 (Mass Pike) get off at exit 13 NATICK route 30. Take Route 30 East to first traffic light. Turn Right onto Speen Street. Turn Right at first traffic light into Home Depot parking lot. We will park in a visible location near the back of the lot (closest to Speen Street). X marks the spot on the map. If you miss us, head back out to Route 30 East and follow to the park.
From Route 9 west, bear right onto Speen Street and follow signs towards I90 Mass Pike. Turn right into Home Depot parking lot.
From Route 9 East, after passing shoppers world get in far right lane. Bear right and then stay left get onto Speen Street northbound towards I90 (Just follow signs to Mass Pike). Turn right into Home Depot parking lot.
If you have the option of taking Rte 9 or the Pike I recommend taking the Pike...its quicker and you are less likely to loose people at traffic lights.
OPTION 2 RAINING:
Plan to gather at the Natick Mall Front Parking Garage (corner of Rte 9 and Speen Street). The first floor corner closest to Speen Street and Rte 9 is usually pretty empty. If I see cars there I will move up to the second level (same corner). I will get there before anyone else so if you pull in and don't see anyone...we're on the next level. Watch out for Honda Ricers while you're in the parking garage. They like to race up to the top level so they can pick up their under-age bitches at the food court.
From I90 (Mass Pike) follow directions above but keep heading South on Speen Street. Immediately after passing Sears, turn into the mall between Sears and the garage. Turn left into the garage and look for a bunch of winners (that'll be us).
From Route 9, follow signs for Speen Street, I90 and make a U-Turn after getting on Speen Street. Cut across all lanes of traffic and take a right into the mall between Sears and the garage.
Can we tailgate at a Mall parking lot? Hmm. Well if we can't, John Harvard's Brew House is only 2 minutes away.
