New slug-Springfield to 14th & Constitution

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   [?]I have decided to try slugging.  I have never tried it.  So I think I am supposed to park at �Bob�s� which is really close to the shopping plaza on Old Keene Mill and Bland street.(?)

	Where do I stand to get a ride in the morning to 14th & Constitution NW?

	If I wanted to get to 14 th & Constitution by around 7/7:30 am, when should I try to be at Bob�s?   Would there be a better time?  (My work start and end time is pretty flexible.) How long should one expect to wait for a ride in the morning?

	Then to return�  Do I just stand on 14 th at the park bench?  Do most people picking you up at that location go to Bob�s?  When is a good time to catch a ride?

	Do I really need a sign?

	Designated commuter parking is behind the bank/travel agency. Look for signs on the lampposts. Cross Old Keene Mill and walk to the old Circuit City lot (between the church and Long John Silvers). You'll note 2 lines - the one closest to the church goes to 14th street destinations. Getting to the line between 6:30 and 6:45 should get you downtown between the hours you indicated. Yes, go to that location. Drivers go to Bob's and Rolling Valley, primarily to Bob's. Anytime after 3:30 is a good time. No sign is needed. Good luck.
