1. Taxi: Tell the driver to take you to Glidden House
in University Circle at CWRU one block north of the
intersection of Euclid and Mayfield Aves.
2. Rapid Transit (for those arriving before 7-8 p.m. with
minimal luggage): Take RTA rapid from within the airport
terminal ($2.00; no change made), exiting at
the ``University Circle'' stop (about 40 min.). There is a
binary choice of exit doors, but choose the one that lies
in the direction the train was traveling. If it is before
6:00 p.m. you can take a free shuttle bus outside the
station right to Glidden house.
3. On Foot: It is about a 15 minute walk to the hotel from
the station. Proceed left when you leave the station.
Walk up the sidewalk about 100 ft., parallel to the rail
tracks, to a bridge over the tracks. Turn left and walk
over the 'bridge'; you will be heading towards a large
parking garage and are on the CWRU campus. At the garage
you will meet Adelbert Rd. Follow Adelbert until it ends,
at Severance Hall (Euclid Avenue). Cross Euclid and turn left.
After about 50 ft., just past Severance Hall, you will see a
road on your right (East Blvd.) which winds along beside a
lagoon. Walk along this road about 1/3 of a mile. You will
pass the Cleveland Art Museum on your left. Shortly past that,
immediately after passing the CWRU Law School on your right,
you will see Juniper Rd. Turn right, and the Glidden House
will be about 75 feet in front of you at the intersection of
Juniper and Ford Drive.
If you are going directly to the physics dept from the RTA
subway, follow the above directions until you pass the parking
garage. At this point you will be about 50 yards from the
Rockefeller Physics building. Continue straight down Adelbert
Rd. until you come to the Kent Hale Smith bldg., easily spotted
because of its modern construction and turquoise color. Turn
left towards this bldg. and go directly behind it. Turn right. A
few more steps leaves you at the back door of Rockefeller.
4. Car: Take I-71 North to I-90 East. Exit I-90 at Martin Luther
King Drive and continue along the single-lane, windy drive
about 2 miles until you get to E. 105th St., the first major
intersection, and traffic light, that you encounter. Go
through the light and you will immediately encounter a
traffic circle. MLK crosses E. 105th St. in a complicated
way, essentially by turning east (left). As soon as E.105th
is crossed, keep to RIGHT of the ISLAND and turn sharp RIGHT
into a narrow park drive. This is East Blvd., but is only
marked "To Euclid Ave." Travel on East Blvd. about 1/3 mile,
past one traffic light, past the Museum of Natural History
and the Western Reserve Historical Society Museum, and you
will get to a fork in the road with Ford Drive on your left.
Take Ford Drive and the Glidden House will be about 75 feet
straight ahead on your left.
