Once you pass the under the pedestrian crosswalk and a traffic light at the top of a small hill, get in the left-hand lane and keep going straight to the second traffic light where you will turn left on Bolivar Street.  You will see railroad tracks across the street and “The Gallery” art gallery will be on the left.
