Directions from the Atlanta area: Take Hwy 78 north as it comes into Athens. Pass Best Buy and the Georgia Square Mall on your left and get into the far right-hand turn lane. Just after the mall, go through the Huntington Rd intersection and turn right at the SECOND entrance onto the GA 10 Loop going NORTH. Take the second exit (#14) off this bypass (Prince Ave.). At the top of the ramp, turn left at the light onto Prince Ave, headed towards Athens. Pass the Navy Supply Corps School, and the hospital (Athens Regional). Turn right onto King Ave. as if going to the Emergency Room. Immediately turn left onto Cobb St. Go one block and as you come into the curve, my house is the white one on the right with a fire hydrant in the yard (house # 675). Park on the street. 706-548-8833.
If coming from north of Atlanta, Take Hwy 129 from Jefferson turns into Prince Ave. at the bypass. From other directions, get on the GA 10 Loop and come around.
