Directions to 417 Westwood Blvd, Staunton

 

Here are three ways of getting to the 2010 Thrivent Builds Home site.  There may be other ways, but these three work.  Be very careful to follow these instructions.  If you get off the streets named here, it may be difficult to get back on track.  The streets in this area are very narrow and frequently change names, like every three or four blocks.  It would be easy to get lost if you get off the streets named here.  Additionally, in this part of Staunton, street signs may be attached to utility poles and are usually higher off the ground than a standard street pole.
