If you come in on Hwy. 63 you exit on Dan Ave. going east.
(Exit to the right, turn left at stop sign.) This avoids most of Jonesboro.
You go east on Dan Ave. until it becomes West Johnson and the East Johnson. This is Bus. 49 and 63. You will be going about 8 miles.
At University Loop (stoplight) turn right (south) and then left immediately (about 100 ft.) on to A St. There are three things on A St.
The Pavilion (first on right), the Stadium (second), and the soccer field.
Then A St. returns to East Johnson just before Stadium Blvd.
The Pavilion is marked with a red sign at the Parking lot entrance.
From the intersection of E. Johnson and Stadium Blvd. go right (south) on Stadium about 2 miles to find restaurants and motels, the best ones are on a frontage road between Stadium Blvd. and Caraway Rd. just off the beltway.
