Directions / Transportation:

The MBTA can get one within walking distance. There are paid lots and metered street parking, too. At the trade center, last year we were in Harbor View 1. I am trying to confirm the exact room for this year. The reception / exhibit area will be in the main room as one walks into the trade center from the front entrance.
