The Entrance

The entrance can be difficult to find. 7 Addresses share a single 30' wide gate just next door to a much more obvious "Wire Rope" business. There's a small, somewhat faded but clearly legible sign pronouncing the gate serves 613 - 625. Just inside the gate, on the left, there is a "parking triangle", and in the far corner, a door. That door serves 613 - Science Tools - and two of our neighbors, one of which is ASE Automotive which also has a presence on the street-front. The large gate may be opened and closed by means of a typical garage door remote system, and sometimes it's closed. Adventuresome folk can perhaps squeeze through, but a better plan is to call us at the number above, or try our neighbor, ASE, to see if they can let you through. Around the block on Hegenberger there are a host of convenience stores and gas stations from which to find a phone, should you need one.

Note that there's a green light in the hallway to our door, an easy landmark under the right conditions.

Please use the doorbell! It's the middle one. If the outer door is open, 613 is at the end of the hall on the right, but we may not hear your knocking - use the bell! Also note that sometimes we are in the back and can't hear either since the property goes back a total of 168'. We will soon be setting up a second bell way in the back but until then, your choices are:

Parking

During business hours, please either use the space explicitly marked 613, or please park around back. Please do not park in a numbered space! Please do not block anyone in!

Parking outside of "normal business hours" and on weekends is available in the Nutri-Slim parking spaces as they are closed. Also, we have a lot of parking around back inside our fenced in gate - get us to let you in, or if you're familiar, just let yourself into the gate and hoof it around to the front door. And you can always park on the street.

Directions & Map

Most visitors will have no problem getting to the area because it's near the Oakland Coliseum and Oakland Airport.

From BART: You can take BART if you wish - we sometimes do. It's perhaps a 10 to 15 minute walk from the Coliseum BART Station. We highly recommend taking the Hegenberger Road overpass over the railroad tracks, then left on Baldwin, and right on 85th. This route is well lit with lots of traffic, and it's the shortest route, especially if there's a train passing. From I-880 Northbound: The Hegenberger Road exit is before the overpass. It's a "J" shape which "T" intersects Edes - Turn right. 85th Av. is your first left, and is just past the DMV office. The street address is just 1.5 blocks ahead on your left. If you get to railroad tracks, you've gone too far. See notes above regarding the entrance and parking. From I-880 Southbound: The Hegenberger Road exit is before the overpass. Turn left onto Hegenberger and cross over I-880. Take the first right onto Edes, and first left onto Enterprise. Enterprise is one long block, and at the other end, turn left onto 85th. 613 is half a block on your left. Some of our friends use alternative routes, which can be deduced from the map. See notes above regarding the entrance and parking.
