THIRD LIFE STUDIOS

Directions to THIRD LIFE STUDIO
33 Union Square (which is really Somerville Ave.)
Somerville, MA

As is true in most of Boston, oneway streets prevail in Union Square (Somerville), so I have routed you perhaps a slightly longer way, but hopefully clearer in the long run, as it will bring you into the square from the right direction on the right one way street!

FROM PORTER SQUARE, CAMBRIDGE:

If you are coming down Mass. Ave. from Arlington, when you get to the Porter Square T stop (big flying red sculpture) (also Porter Square Shopping Center is on your left), take the left hand fork at that set of lights onto Somerville Ave. instead of staying straight on Mass. Ave. Follow Somerville Ave. towards Union Square. Pass a Market Basket Supermarket on the right. Soon thereafter the street turns into a one way street the way you are going, and the street numbers are in the triple digits. Pass New Asia Chinese Restaurant on the right. Soon therafter, the street numbers turn to the double digits inexplicably. The class will be held at #33 (not 33 and 1/2), on the right, a glass door with 33 on it and a small sign saying Third Life Studio, in between the store fronts of Elegant Furniture (to the left of the door) and G&T Custom Tailoring (to the right of the door) in a brick and green trim building. The door is just about where there is the first stoplight in Union Square. You have gone too far if you go through that light. Parking is on the street, or (when the bank is not open) in the Citizen's Bank parking lot. Usually there is no problem parking, but allow a little extra time. If you get lost, just ask directions. You want to be on Somerville Ave., coming into Union Square from Porter Square, Cambridge. There is not a phone available there, so allow a little extra time to find it for the first time!

FROM CENTRAL SQUARE, CAMBRIDGE:

Coming from the river on Mass Ave, turn right at the stoplight at Prospect Street (the heart of Central Square). Go several blocks, through 2(?) lights and turn left at a stoplight where there is a Hess gas station (Hampshire Street). This takes you into Inman Square. At the next stoplight, go straight across (it might bear ever so slightly to your right) onto Beacon Street (Rosie's Bakery should be on your right now). Go past a Johnny's Foodmaster. Go through the stoplight intersection with Dali Restaurant on your left and Toscanini's and the Wine Cask on your right. At your next light, turn right onto Park Street. Cross the railroad tracks, go to the end, and turn right onto Somerville Ave. Follow Somerville Ave. towards Union Square (you are only a few blocks away at this point). Pass a Market Basket Supermarket on the right. Soon thereafter the street turns into a one way street the way you are going, and the street numbers are in the triple digits. Pass New Asia Chinese Restaurant on the right. Soon therafter, the street numbers turn to the double digits inexplicably. The class will be held at #33 (not 33 and 1/2), on the right, a glass door with 33 on it and a small sign saying Third Life Studio, in between the store fronts of Elegant Furniture (to the left of the door) and G&T Custom Tailoring (to the right of the door) in a brick and green trim building. The door is just about where there is the first stoplight in Union Square. You have gone too far if you go through that light.

FROM 93 HEADING SOUTH Towards Boston:

93S to exit 30 (Mystic Ave., Somerville). Turn left at lights at end of exit ramp onto South 38. Turn right at 2nd light (St. Polycarp Church) onto Temple Street. It curves slightly to the left, and ends on Broadway at a light. Turn right and immediately get into left hand turn lane and turn left at lights onto School Street (between 2 banks).
Go through 3 lights (and up and down a hill)- it ends on Somerville Ave. Turn left. Follow Somerville Ave. towards Union Square (you are only a few blocks away at this point). Pass a Market Basket Supermarket on the right. Soon thereafter the street turns into a one way street the way you are going, and the street numbers are in the triple digits. Pass New Asia Chinese Restaurant on the right. Soon thereafter, the street numbers turn to the double digits inexplicably. The class will be held at #33 (not 33 and 1/2), on the right, a glass door with 33 on it and a small sign saying Third Life Studio, in between the store fronts of Elegant Furniture (to the left of the door) and G&T Custom Tailoring (to the right of the door) in a brick and green trim building.

FROM MASS PIKE:

Get off at the Cambridge exit. Head towards Central Square/Cambridge (not Brighton). Just follow that road into Central Square. When you reach the intersection of Mass. Ave. at the heart of Central Square, cross Mass. Ave. and continue to go straight. You are now on Prospect Street. Go several blocks, through 2(?) lights and turn left at a stoplight where there is a Hess gas station (Hampshire Street). This takes you into Inman Square.
