> There are three banks of elevators, people should take the 12 - 17  
> bank of
> elevators to the 15th floor. We will meet everyone at the 15th  
> floor and
> escort them to the conference room. We will be there from 5:45 -  
> 6:30 so
> anyone arriving after 6:30 will need to call Ed Dale on  cell -
> 216-965-1199. If someone is not in the elevator lobby, please wait  
> a moment
> until the escort arrives.

> The Huntington Bank Parking lot costs $5 after 3:00 on normal  
> nights. It is
> connected to the E&Y office by an underground walkway. The address  
> of the
> parking lot is 947 Chester Ave. One note if you are using Google maps,
> Euclid Ave. is under construction. Traffic is one way only and that is
> eastbound. If possible, come to downtown Cleveland on Route 2  
> (Shoreway),
> exit at East 9th, turn left onto Chester and then park. That way  
> you avoid
> the Euclid construction where it crosses East 9th. For everyone  
> coming from
> Kent - Take Route 43 to I-480 to I-77 to East 9th, then turn right  
> on to
> Chester. Or you could take the Ohio Turnpike to I-77 to East 9th,  
> if you
> prefer. That will mean moving through the construction but it  
> cannot be
> helped.
>
>
> To get to the E&Y building from the Huntington parking lot, take the
> elevator to the basement. Turn right out of the elevator. Walk  
> through the
> tunnel. then through the revolving door, across the mall and up the
> escalator. It is all a straight shot from the elevator, just giving
> landmarks so people will know they are on the right path. Now use the
> elevator marked 12 -17 to go to the 15th floor. It is all covered and
> connected, so it will keep you out of the weather.
>
> Another parking option is the Statler parking garage,  only $3.25  
> after 5,
> but it is on Euclid Ave. If you are coming from the south, take  
> East 9th to
> Euclid and turn right, or eastward . The Statler garage is just  
> before the
> next light on the left side. To get to E & Y from the Statler, walk  
> out to
> Euclid, turn right towards East 9th. The office is the nice  
> building at 925
> Euclid with the brass revolving doors.
