One more thing: this location IS child-friendly. The owner sells

organic and non-organic cotton clothing for babies and kids, and these

will be available for sale during our gathering.

Swap Event: Saturday, February 18, 2006

Hi everybody! Here's the latest on the swap meet.

Date: Saturday, February 18, 2006.

Time: 12:00pm - 4:00pm. Potluck around 1:00pm. We can set up as

early as 11:00am.

Location of the swap (for this date only): Imago Ltd., 1190

Avenue, St. MN 55105. Plenty of parking on the street.

Location details: Imago Ltd., is very near the intersection of

Randolph Avenue and Edgcumbe Rd., which themselves are just off

Highway 35E. If you arrive via 35E, take the Randolph Ave exit and

turn left (east) and go about 3 blocks toward Edgcumbe Rd. If you

arrive via Highway 94E, you could take the Lexington Ave. exit and go

south all the way to Randolph Ave.

There's a BP gas station on the corner of Randolph and Edgcumbe.

Edgecumbe Rd. is an odd-looking street that's divided by a grassy

median. Turn right on Edgcumbe and then left on . Park

wherever it's legal. )

The gathering place is the auditorium on the top floor. Signs will

direct you.

Bathrooms: there is a women's & children's bathroom on the same floor

as the auditorium. Guys, I'm sorry, but we must go to the basement.

>>>PLEASE READ THESE IMPORTANT NOTES<<<<

1. Accessibility: Imago Ltd. is NOT wheelchair accessible, and DOES

NOT have an elevator! (My apologies and regrets for that unfortunate

oversight, but planning got started late and we really have no other

place to go. People with mobility issues must use their own judgment

whether to attend. Those with coolers and boxes of products to bring

must realize that a flight of stairs will be the main obstacle they'll

face.)

2. Time Change: We have had past swaps at 10am - 2pm, but it will be

different today. Since Feb. 18 is the same day as the St.

Farmer's Market winter hours (go to www.stpaulfarmersmarket.com for

complete details), Therese thought of a way to help our farmers and

vendors make best use of their time. We'll shift the time of the swap

to a bit later, i.e., 12pm - 4pm. This way, the farmers and vendors

who do decide to attend the swap can do so without interrupting their

market schedule and can also hopefully make extra money when they drop

by our swap.

My apologies again for the inaccessiblity of this space. We will most

likely not be able to use Imago again in the future for that reason.

Let me know if there are questions.

Thanks for catching that. In my original draft I had the directions

right and then east vs west got transposed somehow.

Joe,

Is it just one flight of stairs?? Or more than one?

Well, you climb some steps to get into the building itself, and then

you climb one staircase, turn left and climb another staircase, and

turn left into the auditorium. (

Someone asked about whether they can buy things. Certainly! Cash,

barter or trade are the currency of our swaps.

I have forwarded on info from the swap to numerous people. One question I got

back was from someone who has a temporary cast or whatever you call it and has a

difficult time walking up a lot of stairs. Is there an elevator? Or is it a lot

of stairs?

Jeanne

> Is there an elevator? Or is it a lot of stairs?

I'm sorry to say that this location has NO elevator. The stairs are

not steep, but there are a lot of steps, perhaps 20 to the upper level,

and a stairway to reach the main door. As I said, time was short in

the planning phase and this is the best place I could manage.

The April 1st location is on one level and is handicap accessible.
