BY CAR:
A NOTE ABOUT PARKING. In Decatur, after 6PM ALL METERED PARKING IS FREE. Also, the parking lot where the studio door is located is also a free lot. The directions all take you to that parking area. There are several parking spots all around Decatur Square- please allow yourself time to circle the block and find a spot. Also, be aware there is another cul-de-sac of metered parking spots on the opposite side of the square (@ Ponce and Clairmont) called W. Court Square and it is very quick and safe to walk about in the Decatur Square. There is a parking garage on Trinity behind N. McDonough and Commerce. Finally, if you really don't want to worry about parking, you can always drive to a MARTA station with free parking (East Lake station and Candler Park station both have free lots and are 1 and 2 stops west of Decatur, respectively) and take a quick MARTA ride to class.
From Downtown Atlanta: Take Decatur St./Marietta St. going east (it's the same road- on the east side of Peachtree it's Decatur St. and on the west side it's Marietta St.). This will turn into Dekalb Ave. soon after you leave the downtown area, and will turn into a 3-laned road (the middle lane goes either east or west depending on traffic). As you near Decatur, the road will 4-lane again and become Howard Ave. You will come to an intersection with McDonough St. Turn left onto McDonough and cross Trinity, going into the cul-de-sac of metered parking spots.

Candler Rd. bears left and turns into Trinity at the railroad tracks. Continue on Trinity for about .5 miles, then turn right onto N. McDonough, leading into the cul-de-sac of metered parking spots where the front door to SDC is located in the small parking lot to your right.

McDonough), turn left into cul-de-sac of metered parking spots where the front door to SDC is located in the small parking lot to your right.
