The next COLAA meeting will be held at River Oaks Arts Center located across the parking lot of the Alexandria Town Talk, local newspaper.
FROM THE NORTH:
From U.S. 165, cross over O.K. Allen Bridge (over Red River) into Alexandria.
Continue on that main road which is McArthur Drive. You will see where McArthur Drive is elevated over Jackson Street. Turn to the right off of McArthur and make a left turn on Jackson (under the overpass). Stay in the left lane until you see where those in the right lane have to turn right. Then the lanes widen for the rest of the way to the river. Proceed down Jackson until you see the Jackson Street Bridge and you will see the Bentley Hotel sign on the right. That street is 3rd Street. Turn right on 3rd. You will proceed five blocks (there is a traffic signal at the second block). At the fifth block you will see the River Oaks Arts Center building. Turn left (Lee Street) and turn right into the River Oaks parking lot.
From I-49 North, take Exit 85 to McArthur Drive and follow remaining directions as above.
FROM THE SOUTH:
From I-49 South, DO NOT TAKE FIRST McArthur Drive exit to the right when you get to Alexandria. Continue on I-49 to the left through Alexandria. Take Exit 86 which is marked as Exit 86 U.S.71 and U.S. 165 and MacArthur Drive. It splits to South and North. Take the Exit 86 South to McArthur Drive and follow the directions above.
