Ibeamlicker: Yes I-495 runs North & South. I did a cut and paste from the home page and never checked the directions because I know them so well. Someone who did the write up missed the proof reading. This place is very easy to get to with plenty of parking. It is west of the route 20/I-495 exit approximately 1 mile on the right side of route 20 headed towards Northboro.

495 runs clockwise and counterclockwise.  That's "anti-clockwise" for present of former members of the British Commonwealth, I believe.

Seriously, this is a great show.  Hey, next year I'll be a senior!

Nah, read the fine print.  For the purposes of this show, a senior is 60+.  I'm still just a kid.
