347.0. "DIRECTIONS!!!" by ZEKE::DEMERS () Thu Oct 31 1991 10:43

    
    
    Can somebody put the directions to the Sheraton Tara in Framingham from
    Nashua, NH.???  I think it would be great if folks used this to give 
    directions to the Sheraton, from where their coming from.  It would 
    make it alot easier for those who would like to attend this meeting but
    are not sure of how to get there!   
    
    The more folks that attend the better!

Directions to the Sheraton Tara Hotel, Framingham:
    
	   From 495:
		Take the Route 9 EAST exit.
		Go several miles, (through 3 lights) you'll come to the
    			Mass. Turnpike entrance.
		Go about another 1/2 mile to a light and make a U-turn.
		The Sheraton Tara Hotel is on the right, just after the Mass.
    			Turnpike ramp.
    
From Rt  128:  You  can  follow  either the Masspike or the Rt 9
		directions below.
    
From Masspike:  Get  off  at  Route  9,  exit  12,  follow sign
		directing  you  to Route 9 west Worcester.
    		The very first entrance on your right will be for the
    		Sheraton Tara.
    
From Route  9  East  of Framingham (toward Boston)
    		Follow Route 9 west
		Just after the  Masspike, the very first entrance on your
    		right will be  for the Sheraton Tara.
    
347.2Traffic considerationsKALI::PLOUFFDevoted to his LawnThu Oct 31 1991 13:114
    Due to traffic on Rte. 128 at rush hour, I'd recommend that the
    basenoter from New Hampshire approach Framingham from Rte. 495.

    Along the same line, it might be easier, simpler or faster to get on
    the Mass. Turnpike from Rt. 495.  (keep going past Rt. 9 exit off of
    Rt. 495, it's about a mile further south on Rt. 495)
    
    Head towards Boston and you'll be getting off at the very first exit.
    You'll give Mass. a $.50 contribution I believe but traffic on 
    Rt. 9 can be heavy.
347.4Send mail to LJOHUB::SYIEK for a small mapLJOHUB::SYIEKThu Oct 31 1991 14:3417
I have a brochure from the Sheraton Tara that includes a small map. I'll be
glad to send a photocopy of the map via interoffice mail to anyone who
requests one by sending mail to me at	LJOHUB::SYIEK (remember to include your
mail stop). You could then give a copy to anyone else you know who wants one.

The map is  a bit misleading in that its annotation provides directions from
the Mass. Turnpike only. However, it does show the proximity of the Tara to all
major highways, so it might be helpful to anyone not familiar with the area.
Just in case, though, I recommend that you also print the directions furnished
in the previous replies to this note.

So that you'll know what to look for, the Tara is a monstrosity of neo-medieval
architecture with "battlements" fronting a Tudor facade. It's so ugly you won't
be able to miss it!

    Re: .0
    
    There is no hanky-pank involved with accessing BEIRUT::DCU.  The issue
    is purely technical (so far) and involves lots of people trying to
    access it over a limited number of connections while some Digits are
    trying to get some Digital work done on the same machine.

re .4:

Since the base noter's at ZKO, he'll easily recognize the Framingham Tara.
The one near ZKO is just as hokey.
