A couple of things. First, can we be assured that the building 66 on
Ames St will be unlocked.
Both JABR and I, as you, have a bunch of things we need to bring in as
well as signage. We also have a few people who are impaired. For
instance, John Ross who pays for our lunches can't walk very much, and
Steve Morth usually comes by subway. Normally all other people drive.
While we don't see as many desktop and towers we usually have 1 or two.
E-51 is good in that it has a parking lot and wheelchair ramp. And while
I don't see parking a big issue on Saturdays, there is considerable
distance.
