IMPORTANT PARKING INSTRUCTIONS: We will NOT be able to park in any of the
spaces in front of the shops next to the temple. (Including the Check Cashing
 store,  the barber shop, etc.) We will also not be able to park along the wall
adjacent  to the temple. The landlord of these shops has a new parking policy
 and will tow  any cars parked there that are not patrons of their shops.

Street side parking is available on streets near the intersection of Del
Mar  Ave and Lynnhaven Dr (for example on Lynnhaven Dr, on Roenoke Way, on Del
 Mar  Ave, etc.). If you park your car in front of a home, please do not block
 their  driveway. Del Mar Ave runs parallel to Bascom ave. There is a small
drive  way  (belongs to Streetlight Records; you can see this on Google maps
satellite  view)  that joins Bascom and Del Mar Ave located in between Lynnhaven
Dr and Roenoke Way. This is a short cut way to walk to the temple after parking
your  car.
