November Meeting on the 19th at 7:00 PM
Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 4:50 pm
Hello Beer Nuts! Unless there is a major snow storm, the November 2009 meeting is on the 19th at 7:00 pm. It will be at my house (Matt Franklin) which is on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids between 1st Avenue and East Post Road. It is not your normal location. It is a curvy gravel drive so please drive slowly. Google and mapquest get you close.
The address is 1102 30th Street Drive SE, Cedar Rapids, IA, 52403.
From 1st Ave, turn at the Walgreens on 29th Street heading East towards East Post Road. Stay on 29th Street as it curves and becomes 30th Street Drive. My house will be on your left (North side). If you get to Indian Hill Road or East Post Road you went too far.
From East Post Road, turn at the intersection with Lakeside Road and 30th Street Drive heading East on 30th Street Drive. My house will be on your right (North Side). If you get to 1st Avenue you went too far.
I have a shared driveway with 1100 30th Street Drive SE. There is a blue Linn County address sign with my house number on it on 30th Street Drive and a concrete sign at the base of my mailbox that says Franklins. Enter the driveway between the blue 1100 and 1102 signs. My neighbor has a large, silver and red grey hound bus in our shared driveway that is hard to miss on the left. My house is the second house. The road goes down a hill and turns sharply to the left and then back to the right.
Parking is tight, but we should be able to get three cars wide in front of the garage and the rest pull in on the left side perpendicular to the drive. I attached a picture as a guide. Try to keep it tight like a parking lot. If we run out of room you may have to park at the top of the hill on the side and in the street. A few cars should fit off the road by my mail box. Car pool if you can.
On a somewhat somber note, while I am certain this will not be the last opportunity to have a beer with Larry, this will be the last meeting for our president and my brewing buddy for about seven years, Larry Papkin. He is moving to Dallas in December. Let’s send him out with a bang. If you have been saving a special beer for a special reason, bring it as I think this qualifies.
If you have trouble finding the place call my cell at 654-5146. I look forward to seeing you there!
