Take Hwy 2 to High School exit. Turn like you are going towards town. The Jack Stop gas station will be on you right. Immediately at the end of the Jack Stop gas station parking lot is the Mag Seven Ct road that you need to turn onto. Head south on Mag Seven Ct SW for between a 1/4 and 1/2 mile. On your right you will see a big brown building with a copper colored roof; that is the building we are in. Park in the parking lot on the Hwy side of the building and you will see our front door, which faces Hwy 2. Our name is in gold on the door.

The Mag Seven CT SW road does connect to 5th street even thou the Google map doesn't show that it does not.
