WHAT TO BRING

1) Don't forget to bring your final projects and estimates.

3) Print out this email for reference and bring it with you.

DIRECTIONS

From the Westside:
Take the 10 fwy EAST, continue as the freeway wraps around the east side of downtown to Soto Street (the very first exit east of downtown, where the 10 turns into the San Bernardino Freeway).

From the Valley or Hollywood:
Take the 101 south along the top edge of downtown and transition to owards the 10 east. Then, take the Soto Street exit.

From Downtown:
Take the First Street Bridge across the LA River into Boyle Heights. Turn left (north) onto Soto.

From Burbank or Glendale:
Take the 5 south toward downtown. Exit at N. Mission Road and head east. N. Mission Road. Veer right onto Valley Blvd. and continue past Lincoln Park to Soto St.

NOTE: The Soto Street exit is a very, very long off-ramp, crossing State Street. Do not exit until you actually come to Soto Street. Make a left-hand turn onto Soto Street (going north).

George Rice and Sons is about 1.5 miles north of 10 fwy, at 2001 No. Soto St., and is on the left-hand (west) side of the street.

You will see the Red Rabbit logo on the water tower.
