Public Transportation to my home:
R7 SEPTA train (Chestnut Hill East) from Center City Philadelphia:
Get off at the next-to-last stop, called Gravers Lane.
Walk
up the (many) steps to the street level, turn right,
and walk
a block and a half to the traffic light at the intersection
of
Stenton Avenue & Gravers Lane.
My house is diagonally across the street on the left; see
the white car parked near the side entrance. You
can enter
through the fence there, or walk to the Gravers Lane
gate
and come up the front walk. The fence is 6 feet tall,
wooden
stockade-style. If you look up, you'll see the Tibetan Prayer
flags hanging from the 2nd floor porch!

SEPTA bus: the L bus. It comes up Stenton Avenue from the
direction of Philadelphia (the city-part), and will stop right at
my corner. Landmark, or warning: the traffic light just before
ours is Willow Grove Avenue--you're almost here!
Get off at Gravers Lane and be sure to tell the driver of
your intention, because they love to switch to the middle lane
since the next stop makes them turn left off Stenton. If you're
not careful, they'll speed right by the house! As you stand on
the sidewalk facing away from the city, you'll see the wooden
fence and the prayer flags flying on the 2nd floor porch!
