You can brush up on the details at www.circuses.comand http://www.api4animals.org/a1a_circus.php.Parking: In the past we've parked in the University Mall parkinglot, but they are watching and actively towing from that lot. So if you do park there, I advise going into a store first. There is also a professional center right there called Patriot Square.There's room, but they have signs about towing. If you want to be TOTALLY legal, it's pretty easy: if you are coming from the Beltway, get off at Exit 54 going West, Braddock Road. Get into the left lanewhen you see Tapestry Dr. or Roberts Rd. You're at GMU when you seea large sign advertising GMU events on the right side of the road. Atthat point take a LEFT onto SIDEBURN ROAD, then the next RIGHT ontoPORTSMOUTH ROAD. This is a residential neighborhood with plenty ofstreet parking. When you see the sign for GADSEN ROAD on the leftside, park your car. The right side of Portsmouth Road is directly behindUniversity Mall at that point, and there's a little sidewalk thatgoes to the mall and straight to where we will be. (The street address ofUniversity Mall is 10659 Braddock Road, Fairfax, VA 22032.)Hope to see you there!Patricia Breen www.petstorecruelty.org We won't tell.
