Directions to
Cooley Drive house:
Head out of Gainesville on E. E.
Butler Parkway, like you are going to Athens. Turn left on M. L.
King Blvd., just past St. John’s Baptist Church. Take an
immediate right onto Athens Street. Cooley Drive is about one
mile down on the right, just after the W. Ridge Road
intersection. It’s easy to miss, but it is marked. The lot is on
the right after turning onto Cooley Drive. Park on the street.
