2006-05-05 pickup details

This is rather simpler than we had originally thought, as Zander will not need to be picked up from CFS; the other two locations are fairly close.

Benjamin

Benjamin needs to be picked up from Central Park School for Children between 3:05 pm and 3:35 (after 3:35, they impose a stiff late penalty).

Directions to CPSC from our house

Yahoo directions for reference, though they take you a different way (through the downtown construction, which we avoid)

Pickup from CPSC is easiest if you have the sign which says "Scott / Benjamin" on it; otherwise you may have to tell someone who you're picking up ("Benjamin, in Scott's class"). I've made a note to put the sign in the Nissan before we leave.

From our house: turn right from the driveway and go down to 751/Academy Road at the bottom of the hill. Turn right. About 1/2 mile later you get to the light at Duke University Road; bear right (before the light) onto Duke University Road. Go straight for a couple of miles (through several traffic lights and across the Durham Freeway (147)) until you get to the light at Duke Street (one-way street right at the top of the hill just past the police station on the right and just before you get to downtown Durham). Turn left on Duke Street. Turn right on W. Corporation Street (2nd small street in between the former tobacco warehouses now converted to offices). Cross the abandoned railroad tracks, Liggett Street, pass the old Durham Bulls park on the left, and turn left on Foster Street (you'll see the Scrap Exchange nearby, across Foster St.) Go down the hill, through the traffic light, and CPSC is on the right (large brick building at 724 Foster Street) -- there should be cars lining up. You get in line and eventually Benjamin will come out. There's usually a teacher to help with opening and closing doors.

From there, you go to pick up Josh at Lyon Park...
