Nice, convenient location that just happens to be completely impractical: Highway 880 exit to Coleman Ave, in the dirt next to the off-ramp.
- Easy access by foot, suggest parking on nearby Spring Street.
  - The entire length of Spring Street is marked "No Stopping Any Time". I suggest parking in the dirt lot at Hedding and Walnut (about 100 feet down Hedding from the intersection of Hedding and Coleman) --Tapin 18:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
    - Umm, I'm confused by these instructions. It doesn't look like Walnut intersects with Hedding at all, and it seems a bit out of the way. Maybe someone could provide a link to the spot you mean? --Mystitat
Now taking suggestions for local establishments at which to meet -- Google Earth suggests there's a Quizno's just past Hedding on the southwest side of Coleman?
I suggest that we meet at the actual spot as best we can (NOTE: do not cross the freeway illegally!) at 4:00pm, get a few pictures, discuss actual "sit down meet-up" locations and leave by 4:15. In addition, I will bring the makings of a small, make-shift marker for this most infamous of meetups, hopefully to be buried under layers of concrete and discovered eons hence by future archeologists... :)
- The actual spot is mildly difficult, not to mention marked "No pedestrians" (which I, uh, noticed on the way back). However, there's a huge empty dirt field directly east of the spot that's extremely easily accessible. --Tapin 18:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll certainly be there. Zigdon 20:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll be there, possibly with one or two others. Closest places I can think of are a cheap sandwich shop and a Mexican restaurant at the corner of Elm and Emory, just a few blocks away, but I've never eaten there. There are also several good restaurants (Pasta Pomodoro, Roxie's New York Pizza, Tee Nee Thai), all located a short distance away on the Alameda at Race Street.

I'll try my darndest to be there. Mystitat
I'll be there... not sure how many kids I'll bring. Mmmmm. Pizza. FunkyTuba 06:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Ted and Vicki will try to be there.
