Directions to the Family Resource Network Office

Our address is 123 South Broad (23rd floor), which is two blocks south of City Hall. So if you can find City Hall, you can find 123 S. Broad Street. The intersections nearest to our building are Broad and Sansom Street on one end of the block, and Broad and Walnut Street at the other end.

123 **South** Broad Street is the left half of the "Wachovia Building" and the left set of doors as you face the building.

As you enter the building, please sign in at the main desk. Please use the set of elevators to the right, as they go to the higher floors. We are on the 23rd Floor. After leaving the elevator, walk to the end of the hall with the blue directory signs, take a right at the signs, and the FRN office is the 2nd door on your left.

To get here by car:

These directions assume that you have been able to get to one of the following:

· The Schuylkill Expressway heading south into Philadelphia ("Eastbound")

· The Vine Street Expressway heading east towards 15^th St.

· 15^th Street heading south towards City Hall

For more detailed directions click here.

Starting from going south on the Schuylkill:

1. Several exits after the Zoo exit, and soon after you pass the Spring Garden exit, exit LEFT onto the Vine Street Expwy.

2. Once you are on the Vine St. Expwy, move over to your RIGHT.

3. The first or second exit that you come to, in about 1/2 mile or so, is for 15th Street. Take the 15th Street exit to your RIGHT.

4. You are now on 15th street heading south. Go through several lights. City Hall will come into view. There is a street that loops around city hall to your left called South Penn Square (don't know if there's a visible sign). As you pass City Hall, bear LEFT--don't continue down 15th Street. Instead, you want to go around City Hall counter-clockwise for just a little bit.

5. In a couple hundred feet, take your first RIGHT onto South Broad Street. If you miss the turn onto South Broad, don't worry--you can keep looping around City Hall until you make it, like Chevy Chase in European Vacation.

6. Our building is at 123 South Broad St, two blocks after you turn onto S. Broad. It will be on your LEFT and the building is called the Wachovia Building. However, you can't turn left for several streets. So--you can either turn right to hunt for a parking garage, or you can follow the instructions below to get to the garage I use.

PARKING:

Parking is almost all in the form of garages, and metered parking spaces are rare and two hours or less in the area.

The closest garage is probably the one on Locust St. between Broad and Juniper streets (Juniper is the first street east of Broad as you go down Locust [which is one-way]). However, there is a garage on every other block or so in this area.

If you want to use another garage, here is a website that has some garage addresses and a map: Philadelphia Parking
