Drive several miles, into the District, past Friendship Heights (Western Avenue). Watch the cross streets as they descend the alphabet (Fessenden, Ellicott, Davenport, Chesapeake, Brandywine). When you reach Brandywine, turn left. (There is a left turn lane and traffic signal.) Go one block. At the stop sign, turn left onto 40th Street. CAL is the second building on the left. >From Wisconsin Avenue (heading north): If you are driving north on Wisconsin Avenue, continue past Tenley Circle. Continue straight through the traffic light at Albemarle Street. (You will see Fresh Fields on your right.) Turn right at the next street, which is Brandywine. Go one block. At the stop sign, turn left onto 40th Street. CAL is the second building on the left. Taking Metro: If you are taking Metro, take the Red Line to the Tenleytown station. Take the exit for the EAST side of Wisconsin Avenue. As you get off the escalator, continue walking straight ahead to the corner, then turn left onto 40th Street. (There's no street sign, but you'll see a video store on the corner to your left.) Stay on the left side of 40th Street. (You'll see a high school complex on your right, across the street.) You will cross Brandywine Street. CAL will then be the second building on your left. At the building: At the CAL building, call "004" on the keypad and the CAL receptionist will unlock the door for you to enter. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Parking: Metered street parking is available (2 or 3 hour limit). There is also a commercial parking lot (Circle Parking) at Fresh Fields. Enter the lot from Wisconsin Avenue or 40th Street, between Albermarle and Brandywine. In all cases, look for the tall orange radio towers. CAL is in the midst of them.
