Directions to FlaMinGoCon

Address: 211 Trinity Place, West Palm Beach Here's what Google maps says: 211 Trinity Place Basically if you can get to Okeechobee and I95, then head east on Okeechobee. Go past Kravis Center, City Place, the Convention Center, and across Dixie Highway. But do not go over the bridge to the island. Turn left on O10403245_857283747667665_5347782712905288789_nlive Ave. Go 3 streets to Tanglewood Ct. Turn right. Turn into parking lot of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Park in the upper parking lot where the big tree is. If there's no parking there, then park in lower parking lot, but walk up to the entrance by the big tree. Here's a vague idea:
  • north of the Okeechobee bridge and PBAU campus
  • across Flagler from the intracoastal
  • a couple blocks east of City Place
  • in the shadow of Trump Tower
  • at what is the south entrance of SunFest in April
