Go north on Capital Blvd, go about five miles past the Beltline. At New Hope Church
Road, Terrymore Square is on the left, CVS on the right. Turn left and stay in the
right lane, turn right on to Deana (very soon), two blocks and Lake Ridge is on the
left side. WCC is on the left, on the corner. If you find yourself back at Capital
Blvd, you missed it. It is a grey building.
