b. Kelly Drive

At the end of Lincoln Drive stay in the right lane and follow signs to Kelly Drive. Kelly Drive brings you into the city behind the Museum of Art (you’ll go right past the steps that Rocky ran up.) At the end of the Drive go in front of the Art Museum (in front of those steps) and go round till you see the wide Blvd. with the building at the end of it that looks like a church or the Old Post Office Building in DC. Go down that street. It is called Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Proceed till you get to the Swan Fountain. Go around the fountain and head again toward the building with the clock tower. You should be counting the streets as you go round the square. You’ll see to your right  going round the square is 19th Street, then after that 18th street, the next is NOT 17th Street but Cherry Street. Seventeenth Street is after Cherry Street, but there is no sign there. So turn right immediately after the Windsor Hotel. Go South on 17th Street. Seven traffic lights will get you to Locust Street.
