[Nfbsatx] Transportation to May Meeting

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

    Tomatillos is a great location for our monthly meetings. In addition to 
Viatrans, taxis, and driving several bus lines serve this portion of 
Broadway making it easy to reach Tomatillos via fixed-route bus service.

The restaurant is located on the east side of Broadway across from 
Brackenridge Park and the Whitty Museum. The closest intersection is 
Mulberry. Busses 9, (Broadway-410-Macarthur Terrace) 
10,(Broadway-Nacogdoches-Naco Pass)  and 14, (Broadway- Perren 
Bytal-Naco-Pass)  operate along this stretch of Broadway.

    You can catch either of these three busses from downtown.  If coming 
north from downtown get off at Broadway and Mulberry. Cross Mulberry and 
proceed north on Broadway until you come to the restaurant. Those coming 
south on Broadway on all of these routes will need to cross Broadway at 
Mulberry and turn north to the restaurant. This stretch of Broadway is very 
wide with a median strip running down the middle. Traffic tends to be very 
heavy during the day. Use care and caution when crossing Broadway, but don't 
shy away from the challenge. Mary and I have crossed Broadway at various 
places in this   area without any trouble. ?For further information about
