63 Pinckney St #3 Somerville

Note: I don't live here any more.

Our building has vinyl siding and a red door. Our doorbell the top one and it ~~is broken~~ ~~works~~ ~~is broken~~ ~~works~~ ~~is broken~~ works again.

Google (and possibly some other mapping services) don't understand some things about getting to our house. I've reported these, but they've not fixed them:

Our house is between perkins and wheeler streets, on the east side of pinckney st. It is not in the perkins street park.
Several nearby streets are one way the wrong way around rush hour. This includes all options for a off of washington st or broadway as you drive towards sullivan; take pearl st from rt 28 instead.
You can't walk across the orange line tracks to go directly from sullivan station to perkins st. Walk around to the north instead.

By Public Transit

Get to sullivan square. There are lots of routes that go there: 86, 90, 91, 92, 93, 95, 101, 104, 105, 109, CT2, and the orange line.

With your back to the orange line station, turn left. Turn left again at the big road (broadway/maffa way) and cross the railroad tracks, walking under the highway. Take the first left on caldwell st. Take the first right on perkins. Take the third left on pinckney. We're the second house on the left.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can get off buses coming from the west a little earlier, avoid sullivan sq traffic, and have a slightly shorter walk.

By Bike

Parking: lock the bike outside. Not ideal, but we don't have room for it inside.

By Car

Parking: parking is resident only, except sundays. We have two visitor parking permits. If you expect a bunch of other people in cars to be coming too, let me know and I'll 'reserve' a permit for you. Tickets are around $50 and very well enforced.

Directions: there are a lot of one way streets, some of them only one way most of the time. The way that always works and is only slightly longer is to take route 28 to pearl street and then turn left on pinckney. When it's not rush hour or is a weekend, it's possible to take washington st to myrtle, or broadway to lincoln, as more direct ways to get to pearl st.
