To the Allens
401 Parsons Drive in Westvale between Fairmount Fair and Westvale Plaza — NOT the Parsons Drive in Camillus.
NOTE: The grass median seems to confuse the GPS, so it will try to make you go around the block, but just look for our house on the corner of Parsons and Grove — the only house with almost no lawn!
From the west:
Take W. Genesee St. toward Syracuse.
Pass Fairmount Fair.
Go to the stoplight after the Terry Road stoplight.
Turn right onto Parsons Dr. (then see below)

AT PARSONS DRIVE (a divided street with a grass median):
Go to the third intersection at Grove Rd.
401 Parsons is diagonally across the intersection.
It’s a tan house with white trim and dark green shutters.
It’s the only house with almost no lawn!
NOTE: We use the Grove Rd. side of the house, not the Parsons Dr. side. It’s futile to ring the doorbell at the front of the house!
