By public transportation:
We are a five-minute walk east
of the East Lake MARTA station, E5 on the East Line. Exit the station
by walking north over DeKalb (not College) Avenue on the pedestrian
bridge, then proceed east along the sidewalk. The road (which soon
changes names from DeKalb to Howard) should be on your right. You will
cross Paden Circle, then Melrose, Drexel and Lansdowne Avenues before
you get to the Meetinghouse.
By bicycle:
The Meetinghouse is at the corner of West Howard and Adair, the
seven-mile mark on PATH's Stone Mountain Trail. You can park your
bicycle in the courtyard behind the Meetinghouse, accessible from the
near end of the parking lot.
