Directions to the Hampton YMCA

We are holding trainings at the Hampton YMCA this weekend and some of you may know that getting there can be a little tricky! My GPS was not a big help! I entered the address: 1322 Lasalle Ave. Hampton, VA. My GPS took me on Interstate 64 to the LaSalle exit (265A) and told me to turn R and that the Y was on the L. Sure enough, I could see the Y! There was a traffic light with a left turn lane, so I turned left into a parking lot. I drove toward the Y and came to a fence. This sign was on the fence:







Yes, if you look closely you can see the Y! The sign gives you directions on how to actually get to the building.


It will tell you to go back out to LaSalle and turn R. Go under I64 and turn R onto N. Armistead Ave. You will immediately go under another underpass. Take the first R- Owen St. This street will take you into the Y parking lot. You have made it!!


Now, if you would like a little quicker route, here's what I suggest:


If you are using a GPS just enter the intersections of W. Mercury Blvd. and N. Armistead Ave. in Hampton, VA. Turn R onto N. Armistead Ave. Go about 3/4 mile and you will pass a Home Depot and I64. Go under the overpass and take the first R onto Owens St. This will lead you into the Y parking lot. Yeah!


Everyone else, if you are on I64 get off on the W. Mercury Blvd./US-258 N exit (Not toward the James River Bridge). You will go about a mile to N. Armistead Ave. and turn R. Go about 3/4 mile and you will pass a Home Depot and I64. Go under the overpass and take the first R onto Owens St. This will lead you into the Y parking lot. Success!


Now, if all this fails, here's the phone number to the Y: 757-722-9044. Good luck and I hope to see you soon! Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. My address is: j.carroll@hughes.net.
