Fw: [Lvlug] Cable or DSL?

[The Knights]

Well, If you do park in Perkins or that general area, go away from 145
toward the Ramada and take a right which takes you behind Best Buy and will
land you out next to the new CostLess Store.   It may not be anything great
like at the Grape Street turn but it will give you a lot more room to
manuver instead of being forced to take the 22 east bound entrance.

And your right about it being a traffic nightmare. I think Bestbuy should
have done something better with their lot in the beginning.   They are badly
locked in for parking..

My 2 cents,
Greg
