Thanks for the tip on Willow Lake. That could have been annoying. I guess I'll head through on Jewel Ave., unless someone can suggest something better.
I went to Flushing Meadow last Saturday after work, but I didn't think go around Meadow Lake (I went around it at least once last year). It's quite a scene there on Saturday evenings in nice weather. A friend wants to go, so I may go again this weekend, so I'll check it out.
